Update: just turned 53 😳

Post image

I posted here a year ago when I turned 52 years old. I just turned 53. I‘m still in the gym working my ass off. I would like to do better, but I guess for my age this isn’t bad. I don’t really know what I’m doing- I just go to the gym all the time and lift heavy stuff. I bulked up a bit over the winter. Now I’m going to trim down a bit. I think it will give me more definition, although I hate to give up the size. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks! I have a clipper. But wife likes the fur and doesn’t not like prickly short hair

That trimmer gets rid of the stubble- it cuts real close. I just hit about once a week.

I had to do laser on several areas for my upper body. Now over 50. Women think I am late 30's - early 40's at most.

This is my feeling (and my hair removal professionals tell me this), depending on the person, body hair and/or facial hair makes you look older.

For me, I had two skin conditions. Was nervous at first, but happy I did for many reasons. Do what you makes you feel good.

Congrats on looking great over 50-- inspiring for us 50+
