    I’m turning 38 shortly, been lifting for 3.5 years (since my youngest was 8 months old...and he’s turning 4 soon!) Happy to discover lifting—now my older boys make comments about how strong I am, or “no wonder, Mrs XYZ isn’t healthy and strong like you, Mom”/ “why aren’t you helping Mr so-and-so move that couch? You could do it”. Love having something to train to gain, instead of only exercising to lose.

    That's awesome! Great photo too.

    I just started again last October after a 20 year break. I love it. I love how strong I am. I love how much better my swims and runs are now! :)

    Oooh... swimming 💗💗💗

    I’m 62 and I have lifted since I was 40. It makes all the difference in the world! I’ve had to change my weights because I now have Rheumatoid Arthritis. I’m not quitting though! I don’t know how I would manage this disease without the years of taking care of myself. All I can say is don’t wait! You don’t know what life will throw at you so you better be ready!

    37 year old powerlifter here - been lifting since 2015 when I started out wanting to get skinny and then realized I wanted to get strong instead. Would like to follow some like minded people.

    Just turned 40 and excited to enter a new age group. I'd like to cut some weight/make better food choices while staying in my weight class. Powerlifting is my favorite hobby. I would really appreciate some like minded girlfriends for motivation. I am not super savvy on this site, but will respond to invitations. Next programming cycle starts September!
