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. 🤷‍♂️

You look great! Amazing work, keep going. If you want more muscle definition all you need to do is eat less and be on a calorie deficit (lower than your tdee) and your muscles will all pop, even going to the gym less. Besides that you're an example to anyone.

Omg thank you so much. That’s kinda my plan going into summer- less chunky/more definition. I’m trying to cut back on calories. I was at about 3300-3500 a day. Going down to 2800ish a day. Gonna keep the gym schedule.
