50 Lbs lighter and the odd muscle appearing. Taken 2 yrs, maybe with another year or two someone will say “hey, do you workout?” :) But who gives a *kitten* when you’re 64 :(

Wake up call
Been training 2 yrs now, transformed my body shape. Wish I had started 40 yrs earlier not at aged 62 :( Went to the doctor, he said “Don’t eat anything fatty” I said “What no chips or fry ups?” Doctor said “ No fatty, just don’t eat anything! “ :)

Smartwatch for weight training?
Anyone use a smartwatch to control / log their training? What watch / app works well? I have an iPhone and am considering an Apple watch as my iPhone has narrowly escaped damage a couple of times in the gym, and I like gadgets :)

A loss of 36 lbs in…

What happens in Bulk phase?
What should I expect in the following circumstances? Clean bulk from 15% fat state ie. • Training hard and heavy in the gym • clean bulk with 250 to 500 cal excess Muscle and fat increase pound for pound? Muscle to fat 2:1 ish ratio ? Fat to muscle 2:1 ish ratio ? I know we’re all different but what’s your experience?
