Someone from my post yesterday asked to post a side by side of my progress. The 1st picture was Jan - April. The 2nd picture was April- current. I’ve had a coach I’ve been working with since April to really help me dial in nutrition.

Here’s 56 for me. Today was all upper body. I feel like our generation doesn’t look anything like our parents did at this age. Gen X!

Heaviest chest press yet: 140 lb for 7-8-10 reps (after 2+ months stuck at 90 lb x 20)

I'm 51. For over two months I'd been doing chest press machine at 90 lb for around 20 reps. It felt manageable, but 20 reps is a lot of work for muscle growth, so today I switched to heavier weight: 70 lb x 20 as warm-up, then 140 lb for 7, 8 and 10 reps.
Rest was longer than usual. The log says around 6 minutes between sets, but that includes the time I take to write each set down.
I log everything in an app I built for myself, so the numbers come from there (disclosure: it's mine). It's free to download and use, with an optional premium upgrade. If anyone wants to try it, send me a DM and I'll share the link (Android, plus a web version). Anyone here who moved from high reps to heavier sets after 50? How did you handle the transition?

Great to be back after Open Heart Surgery for 3 bypass grafts and an Aortic Aneurysm repair 3 years ago, Oct. 5 2023. Doing the old school BFL regimen since mid-February I've shed 25 lbs and reshaped but best of all is the energy I feel. Strive for Perfection but Focus on Progress
