Nah, nope,nada...🤣

55 yrs old 6'3 275 lbs(125kg) still like lifting heavy. Just wondering if there are any older heavy lifters out there.

55 6'3 270, old power lifter.

Hi, I'm Tim 6'3 265 lbs 55 yrs old. Been on MFP since 2011

It was my Birthday workout at 55 yrs old, 6'3 255 lbs. I did flat bench, I did singles with 365,405 and 410. I did 315 for 10 then 225 for 30.

Doc told me that it doesn't matter whether it's fat or muscle pertaining to BMI. He said it puts more work on your heart with either one. He tells me I'm morbidly obese in the winter and just right the rest of the year,lol.

I've been here since 2011, been dormant for this past year. If you like lifting heavy *kitten* add me. I'm 6'3 270 right now, missed the cut because of the lockdown (good excuse), so I'm bulking on through til early 2021.

Funny how something that's been around since the 60's is re-labeled, marketed and sold as a new product. Then preached by followers like crossfitters do their sport. If you want to get strong, hang out with power lifters, if you want big muscles hang out with body builders. Ask them what they do. Internet sensations in…

Yeah, power lifted for 12 years, quit to raise kids got back into at 46. Got nothing left but a strong upper body. Working my way back to a 500 lb raw bench after shoulder surgery 5 years ago. I'm at 435 lb.now with a 395 lb incline. I'm 52 6'3 265 lb BW. Miss competing though, maybe one more bench competition. Add me, we…

My nephew has been in the gym with us since he was 10. He is 16 now, holds many power lifting records, wrestling titles, and one body building win. Nothing wrong with him doing it, as long as he has good people behind him. My nephew eats 8 meals a day and most of the time 2 workouts a day. Weighs 205, 5'11 6% BF Junior in…

Any power lifters in their middle age?

Looking for heavy lifter friends, power lifters, strongman etc.

1. How long do your sessions usually last per day? **2 hours 2. How many different exercises do you tend to do per session/day? ** 2 3. How many reps/sets you do & why/ body goals? ** I go by the feel of the weight and how I feel. I have no pattern Example- Bench 50x135,40x155,30x185,20x205,10x225,10x275,10x315 Example-…

Time under tension....

I'm 51, birthday next month. This year I have benched 420, inclined benched 380, military seated pressed 225 for 10. Started back working out at 46. I have been around 60-70 year olds doing yoga, crossfit, power lifting and weight lifting. Some have been doing it all their lives some haven't. But unless your doctor tells…

I don't think there is anyone like that on MFP. I didn't know we were talking about everyone on the planet. That's what I meant. I've had surgery for bad knee, torn tendons in the shoulder, ruptured disc, bulging disc, degenerated too and I work around aches and pains. But as long as I can I will. Even in a wheel chair, if…

Not all lifters have good advice, same as not all trainers know what they are doing, same as advice from people on here. If you're not smart enough to determine what is good advice and what isn't then what good is the advice. Do what you want, if it makes you feel good to offer advice. Doesn't mean they'll listen and may…

If you want the burn,lol. Do a set of 50 reps, then you can leave the gym. What, are you going for the pump like a bodybuilder?

No, definitely not too old. No such thing as too old. I'm 51 also, some exercises are light and some are heavy. There's always a way to work around, injuries, bad joints, etc. I have bad knees and back and work what I can and work around things to get my workouts in. I am 6'3 255 lbs, very strong upper body and sculpt…
