Hey everyone,

I have been reading this forum and find the information and personal stories very useful. I’m a 50 YO at 240 and have a fairly heavy lifting plan. I’m nowhere at my prime but am slowly getting back. I never stopped working out but age and work have taken a big toll. My diet is low carb and at times I drop my carbs low to 20g for a month or two. I’m still fat and working that off slowly with pain and hard work. Injuries include knee surgeries, lower back major dist issues, shoulder problems, and ankle issues. Blood pressure issues at times but normal when on lower carbs. I have loved my weight lifting since I was 12 years old and will never stop. My goal is to get back to full strength at 220 and then cut up. Thank you again everyone for all of your useful information.
 
Welcome aboard! We might have enough for a over 50 dedicated category! I think 25% of a membership is a quorum! 😂. I don’t think we got all that. Welcome and enjoy!
 
welcome brother, love seeing people still pushing at 50+. I had a great friend that still lifts well into his 70’s that has always said “an injury is just forcing you to figure out a more creative way to train” I have taken that advice many times
 
Welcome to ugmuscle brother glad to have you around I believe that you definitely still have it in you just got to put one foot in front of the other.
Were all here to help look forward to seeing you in the forums.
 
I gave you a vet tag you should have an extra category for vets only @UGM-VETERANS and you can hit up all the other veterans
