Get in here boomer anons.

How are you staying fit and on top of your life? Has the discipline and consistency in your life finally started to pay off, or are you slipping?

What issues do you face as a 30+ year old boomer? How are you dealing with them?

>>76529939 (OP)
I hate strength training but it’s what’s holding me back.

28 year old Boomer Zoomer here.

Hit 1/2/3 for 5 reps (Haven't deadlifted in a while).
Cycle 70 km every Saturday and will become a certified scuba diver in Mexico this December. Got a raise at work that bumped me up to just a little over 100k so I'm gonna start doing scuba diving trips all throughout next year. Unfortunately the dating market even in a big city sucks ass

Hasan unironically admitted that he takes TRT. Grim.

I am an ancient boomer (45) and everything is still fine. No TRT for me yet and I'm maintaining ok. Obviously there are no more gainz to be had and I just lift and do cardio because it feels good.

Main issue I have is the "Liver King problem" or "Mike Israetel problem" where I have started to store more fat around my love handles since I turned 40. I get skinnier and the fat gets more stubborn each year.

>>76529939 (OP)
Damn you look like shit :/

Fuck off Hasan, /fit/ is a nazi board bitch

>>76530206
No it isn't fag LOL

I corrected form and I keep seeing my chest press numbers fall. A bunch of other stuff is slow as fuck too. I was in shape in my 20s, but I guarantee that idiot wasn't doing anything properly. Sucks know the right thing to do and the PEDs are calling more everyday.

Oh well, still unemployed. Going to keep raising my volume because I have the time. At some point I'll get some new PRs in that area.

Mid tirtie year old lad
Starting working out little more than a year ago. Progressively took things more serious. Lifts are getting better, I'm eating more and not hungry, I look and also feel better. I just have to be careful with my back so I don't tweak it from herniations that'll put me in bed for a few days. I've been doing more core and lower back work so I can build that up then move on with heavier stuff. Like being able to do back extensions for like 2 minutes type shit type shit. But all around definitely paying off
Don't really have any issues besides that fortunately. I'm still around 200 but I definitely filled out more. I can feel and see it.
I'm also getting better with binging food. I love smashing a pack or two of chewy cookies or Oreos but unfortunately my shitter does not and I feel like dying from being so bloated if I over eat.

I'm on most of the popular supplements that actually do shit without much side effects plus many nobody has ever heard of, and they have done a pretty good job or keeping my recovery/healing better than it was fully "natty"(besides a multivitamin) in my teens.

Currently focusing on trying to develop a chemoprophylaxis stack to become almost entirely cancer-proof by 40.

>>76529969
based, what do you do for work? I'm 33 and have never made more than 44k/year. it sucks. I moved back in with my parents a couple years ago with no way out in sight. started a new job this week though.

>>76529951
Injuries that come out of nowhere is what is holding me back from strength training. It is demoralising.

I turn 30 in two days. I'm scared bros. Been working out a year and a half now and afraid its all going to go down hill from here

Feels like I'm coming back out of the void. Things aren't perfect but I want to look eren jaeger mode.

you're not supposed to feel like an old man when you're old. that's all.

did you really think none of us would notice you larping as hasan?

middle of my back/spine, one of them is just so tender. been like that for a month. No clue why or how come it's not recovering. Haven't been doing any squats and stuff for a while.

34 year old boomer here.
barely lifting these days, have a marathon coming up in October, targeting 3:25 or better. lots of time to train since i retired in march.

current net worth of $2.9M. and yes, obviously I’m now at a point where the discipline and consistency have paid off in a big way.

>>76530181
I think it's just the accumulation of fat cells as you age. Fat cells never go away they just shrink. No way to stop gaining fat cells unless you never bulk and are always lean.

Why is it so hard for me to gain weight past a certain point, lads? It's like 200lbs is my sticking point

>>76529939 (OP)
My biggest issue is that I will probably still die alone and now I’m too old for raising kids. I can still get laid, but I’m sick of wading through the single mom pool and general sluts that just want to cheat on their conservative husbands. I wish I found that special someone earlier in my life to have kids with. Oh well.

Lol at the coping itt, hasan has never been on TRT or anything. He’s on fin and that’s it, stop spreading hasbara like the rats you are

Turning 31 in two days.

>How are you staying fit and on top of your life? Has the discipline and consistency in your life finally started to pay off, or are you slipping?

Trying to still workout 3 times a week, also running at least once a week and managed to complete a halfmarathon this summer. I want to max out on strength training but it's difficult with a stressful job. My body looks decent but as a 6'5" naturally skinny guy it's hard to look yolked without spending all your time eating, prepping etc. Financially I don't struggle as I earn around 85k/year but most of it goes to my city's very high rent. Have dated maybe ~20 girls in my life but never had anyone I could call a girlfriend. Dating gets increasingly harder as you age imo, I want to date 24-28 year old girls but I don't have a natural place to meet them. Have a rich social life with plenty of friends tho.

>What issues do you face as a 30+ year old boomer? How are you dealing with them?

In recent years I have had severe boomer sleeping issues on the days where I workout, which has led me to quit training for a period. Now trying a sleeping stack with like 8 supplements. Seems to help a bit but still not optimal sleep. Might need the doc for this one.

Hello fellow 40ers. Will be 43 in just a few weeks. I'm natty too and just maintaining what i have but feel the same it seems hard to lose fat now. It all went down hill the point we reach 40. Have any tips bro?
Also i dont have morning wood everyday now i think it's normal as our age is catching up. Just use cialis and lcitruline for your thing down there.

>>76531187
>Also i dont have morning wood everyday now i think it's normal as our age is catching up.
Go talk to your doctor. Hit the gym more. CPAP. They should be happening just as often, just not as powerful.

>>76529939 (OP)
I did some routine health tests in July and I am repeating them in late September and then I'm scheduling a cardiologist appointment to start getting annual checkups. That's one thing.

I'm going to switch gyms now that I came back from vacations. I decided I want to be closer to home even if it's more expensive. I'll visit them on Saturday morning.

Another thing I decided during my vacations is that I no longer want to ask someone to clip the hairs on my back every few weeks. I'm getting it all lasered off permanently before next summer. I am also going to get a mole removed. I'm not lasering chest hair because I might want it one day and trimming it myself is easy.

Lastly I'm on the fence about buying a new car. I have an old shitbox but it runs well so I have no need to spend the money. I save and invest a lot but maybe I can dial back on the fiscal discipline a bit. I read a book during vacations that makes me think I shouldn't do it though.
I'll be 37 in 20 days.

34. Finally got round to doing my powerlifting comp after years of lifting. I might do one more but to be honest I didn't find it very fulfilling. Not worth the effort trying to maintain a competitive weight and lifting for over a hour starts to seriously bore me.

I've started bjj and it's lot more fun for me with a good sense of community. My aim with it is just to have fun and try not get autistic with it. I'm also aware it's tough on your joints. It's good to feel like a noob again and to learn. I also took the cardio pill and have been running and using my bike a lot more now that the weather is good.

Since coming off my peaking block I've relaxed a lot with my diet but will probably reign it in again soon just for general health.

In general I feel a lot more stiff and sore more often and have come to enjoy hot baths. Bad food late night also seems make me feel like a zombie the next morning.

Will probably have a kid in the next year or 2 which will make me slip more into boomerdom.

>best thing i ever did was to follow a strict discipline. Mu idea was to have disciplined lifestyle as second-nature so whenever I need I always can take days off. I sill sometime go partying etc.
>daily regiment - 6am up, water, cold shower, situps pullups pushups... eat, gym 2hours, work.. eat eat.. go home..!prepare food and clothes for next day!... stretch, sleep early about 22:30. Feel like a machine.
>I have not lived healthy but i have quit smoking , most of alcohol, almost all sugar, most weed and most of binge consuming internet, quit gambling. These imjo are laymans crutches. Get rid of them and youll feel amazing. Quit smoking first- then alcohol-then gambling or gam8ng-then weed-then coffee. Its the best order as it does not create mental vacuum.
>I want to pick up MMA or sambo this year. Love competing.
>with age I also added one highly important thing - REST BETWEEN SETS. Like serious 2-3minute rest even if you dont feel it. Has spared me from all sorts of injuries.
>183cm 90kg low body fat (6'0 200lbs). Never roided or used any PEDs ever. Probably could be ripe 100+kg leanish if I ate better.

If you enjoy competition bicycle, armwrestling and game hunting are amazing for mid aged people

>>76531429
And aside from gym every 2 days i have one cardio day per week where I do 3 or 4 sets of 15 minute cardio which can vary. Mixing in sprints HIIT style feels valuable e.g. in a 10 minute run you run 10kmh for 5 minutes 15kmh for 1 minute and back to 10kmh for 4 minutes. Repeat.

Stretching before bed also has felt valuable.

>>76530403
Good to hear as a contemporary. Keep doing well anon.

a house is an asset.

if you have a $2.3M portfolio and a fully paid off home worth $600K, you are $600K wealthier than a renter with a $2.3M portfolio.

the renter has to take a chunk of their investment income and use it to pay rent.

it’s not complicated.

Great to hear, anon, glad you’ve overcome so much and are ascending. I was in similar situation, couldn’t train for years due to health issues and was very depressed until I was able to get it under control and go back into the gym for real. Normal people don’t get it, but I feel like I escaped hell and triumphed.

45, still get morning wood, run and lift, was lifting 85/120/190/230 14 month ago but stopped lifting and dropped 12kg and ran instead. Now back into lifting OHP 75kg, squat 165kg not one rep maxed bench (not even trained it) and not one rep maxed dl but feels like it would be 180-190.
Currently cutting it’s now far too easy to put fat on, 6ft, 93.5kg probably 15-16%bf. It’s also easy to lose just do CICO or a day or twos fasting after eating shit and drinking lots of beer.

39, been doing stronglifts plus this year. progression has been slow but the arms day gives me a nice pump for the weekend and my wife enjoys that.

used to be a heavy cardiofag but slowly added 5ks back in three times a week. i do want to start adding more distance on weekends

issues - mostly snoring. wife is a light sleeper so she kicked me out of the bedroom until i got a CPAP and then i apparently started kicking when i got in a deep sleep so now i'm back in my own bed. had to keep using the CPAP because of insurance, now i own the machine but resent using it even though I sleep better.

>>76531385

Feeling this. Doing proper squats and DL felt amazing when starting but they're just so draining now.

32 year old boomer. I injured a muscle in my leg while cycling and the fucking thing is still stiff/sore 3 months later but at least I can exercise again. It's bullshit how much longer recovery takes now.

>>76529939 (OP)
30, been lifting for ab 2 years. Leanmaxxing is key. Calisthenics is a fun plus for practical strength. Fin/min has kept me young as well.
Also try not to watch porn. Hung out with my gf's friends and they were like "YOU'RE 30??" cuz I look young. Half of staying young is just not being fat and dress well.

>I'm on the fence about buying a new car. I have an old shitbox but it runs well so I have no need to spend the money
Your old shitbox will run well until it doesn't. Something major will break, then something else major will break a month or two later, then you'll need new tires/brakes, then something else major will break, and you realize you've spent more on the old car than a good down payment on a new one. Start saving and shopping for a new (or lightly used, but even they're more expensive now than you'd think) car now, before you need it.

>>76531656
Lmao, sorry you feel so threatened lil bro

31 here. I've gone down from 240 lbs to 215 in the past two months and I'm starting to look decent and not fat again. Only a few more pounds until I hit my 200-210 lb goal.

If I knew cutting was so easy, I would have done it a long time ago. I need an all new wardrobe though because even my belts are too big now.

>>76529939 (OP)

37 yo here. Had my first kid in December, and was sick for two months before that. Got back to the gym last week.

It's difficult to maneuver between work, my wife needing her own time to work out, and taking care of our baby. The fact that the baby can now sleep the whole night without waking us up has been a game changer.

Being fine with fitness is meaningless when you hav e nothing else in your life. That’s where I am in my 30s right now. It’s so painful seeing how normal and successful everyone is in life nowadays, especially in the area where I live. Just everything around me keeps telling me how pathetic I am. It’s really hard to try to stay positive and not ruminate when this is all you’ve had for years.

The most irritating thing is watching my hair fall out. All the male role models I had in my life were from my dad's side and they all still have perfect hair even in their late 60s and early 70s. Never met my grand father on my mom's side and she showed me a photo of him from before I was born recently. Now that I see his completely bald head I understand what is happening and I hate watching the train wreck in slow motion.
I fix it by growing out the hair I have left while I have hair to do so with but im not going to fight the genetics because we all know it's an unphill losing battle

34 here. I'm still very active and healthy, especially after giving up alcohol. One downside is that my joints crack and pop like the Lunar New Year. It's not painful, but my career as a spy has ended before it started

Usually I run/swim/heavy bag for cardio
I lift specifically for martial arts, so no big boi numbers.
Mostly kettlebell, dumbbell and mace.
I just simply don't eat like shit, or if I do I avoid high fructose corn syrup and regular corn syrup at all cost.
I'm still in the 150-156lb range.
However I have heavily slacked this year
Between my wife and I we are up to 5 deaths in our families this year.
However my ankles and shoulders feel better from the decreased activity.
I've unironically been doing cartwheels and assisted pushups for maintenance.

none of y'all have back issues or fixed them on your own?

The Tesla got Luigi syndrome and ended up in a wheelchair pulled by an e-scooter.

I never fell too heavy for the squats n' oats meme, but I've seen literature hits on 20-deoxyingenol and muscone as possible supplements.

How often do you weigh yourself on a cut

To all of you who have joint issue or cracking bones here is my advice: collagen. Try it and see the result report back here later

I'm going to join you all on Sunday. Decidedto stop buying beers so I can't drink them at home, I'll only drink beer when I go to restaurants or social gatherings. Body is exactly where I want it to be so I'm happy, don't get any mires because I'm just 170cm tall and socially inept. Gf doesn't give a fuck about my body, we have sex only when she is in the mood so when she is ovulating. She is on the pill so no children for the moment, when we'll get them in the future (already told her that if she wants the ring she has to be pregnant or we can go separate ways) I'll stop having sex probably but that's ok, I just want to have a beautiful child to care for, the mother can just try to be a good mother for all I care. I take the dog for walks 4 times a day so I take plenty of sunlight despite my office job (mechanical engineer), here in Italy I average around 2100€ per month (already taxed) so I'm ok with money. Parents are a complete failure and I won't count on them to help with the child or even to leave some inheritance, the are spending every money they have going on trips once a month.
I follow mike Metzner Routine since I have only 2 days a week to go to the gym and I'm pretty happy with it, excellent for keeping the body in shape, I was even able to reach some new PR in the last weeks. Life at 30 is not what I imagined it would be like when I was growing up, but I still fare way better than a lot of people I know/hear of. Hope you all have a nice day, from Sunday I'll be a regular here

The usual

Lately doing more and more cardio. Feels pretty good desu

Just turned 39

Still training but my focus has switched to slower more controlled reps, rather than banging out weight. You can do the same stimulus by benching 5x12 at light weight as risking injury with 3x5 heavy,

I’ve added in more accessories and more recovery time over the years too

I’m 6’4 185lbs right now, as of pic related, but im about to embark on a 6 month clean (300-500kcal) surplus bulk, with the goal of getting to about 200lbs with not a shit load of fat to lose

I eat clean, year round, 200-250g of protein per day, natural test level is 611

Would love to do a cycle and get big, but I’m afraid that my natural levels wouldn’t recover properly because I’m old,
But if I did it would prob be 400 test and 4iU hgh for 16 weeks

I am a fan of structure and consistency. I weigh myself on a daily basis, write it down and go on my day.
