    Me! Im 44. I have been lifting since I was 18. I am a certified fitness instructor for 15 years. Had 3 babies who are now 8,6 and 2.
    I was able to bounce back to prepregnacy weight
    I feel better now than when i was in my 20s.

    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!

    47, walked into my YMCA weight room for the first time yesturday. Was terrified, but had my printed out suggested workout routine from some website in hand and gave it a go. Was most likely one of the biggest people in there :( but kept at it.... not a fan of the wall of mirrors. I am seeking suggestions, tips and folks interested in supporting my new step. Anyone out there?

    Keep your eyes closed when executing your reps if the mirrors bother you. I find it helps me concentrate on the mind/muscle connection anyway.

    I'm a 48 year old lifter! I traded excessive cardio for lifting about 2 years ago. It completely changed my body. I'd love to have you as a friend!
