    Well shoot, that's unfortunate to hear. I'm sure you had the same thought as me: "Hey, on at this desk, on this stupid computer for work all the time, I might as well burn calories instead of sit on my ass".

    Its either walking 2.5-3 miles after a lifting session while wearing a 40 pound weighted vest, or using the rowing machine (which I hate, lol). I'd LOVE to play some adult beer league type sports around here like softball or tennis, but I don't have the ability to commit to the schedules...

    My firm's practice is specifically doing Estate Planning, Business Planning, and qualified plan consultation for high net worth clients.

    Not entirely, I'm afraid. For the life of me, I've never been able to grow quads and hams to match everything else. They're plenty strong, but I don't think they're proportionally sized. But yeah, aside from genetically high cholesterol, random AFIB, a collapsed soft palate leading to sleep...

    I really don't do any sugar these days aside from occasionally in iced coffee or if I need a cookie after dinner. My issue has been "what has always worked in the past is no longer working", so I fished for new ideas or advice. Its looking like my end game might just be an extra cardio day and...

    Hah! Sorry man, wasn't my intention. To clarify, Cad is our resident lawyer, I just do financial planning in partnership with law firms, CPAs, and RIAs.

    That's appreciated, but I don't walk around like that. It was after a strenuous ~90 workout so there was extra pump too. And yes, I "think" I know how to lose the fat, but it hasn't worked yet the way I expected. So, I either up my cardio again or....well no that's it for now. After the last...

    I’ll post more tomorrow in response. From the sounds of it though, you’re in a good place for height and weight. I have more weight than I need, obviously, but it’s carried over from a prior life traveling the world doing things to bad guys I was paid to do and before that, contact sports. If...

    Only ever done the doctor prescribed TRT and eat enough protein, fat, and carbs to grow or maintain. Some lucky genetics and lots of hard work. My dad had a heart attack at 54 and we have bad cholesterol that’s hereditary, so I’m not risking any HGH or DBOL and Andro. Gear just isn’t for me...

    Myself (for two and a half years) and 7 friends of similar age are on TRT. Cad amusingly pointed out that I can't remember the difference between mg and ml, but what I'm taking ( just checked the vial) is 175mg per dose and each dose is 1ml split into 2 injections per week to keep it from...

    T is definitely a P.E.D. with the dosage levels some dudes use. A typical TRT dose is 100ml. I know guys doing 500-1000 in the same cycle. Its not sustainable. Then you add DBOL or something on top and you're rolling the dice.

    Man, I've got peers my age using gear and its scary. They either don't understand, or they don't care. I have no interest in that risk and I'm only doing this for myself and my wife. I do think my metabolism is perfectly fine right now. I expect it to get better as I ramp up the cardio activity...

    I would speculate it takes A LOT of effort to put on muscle mass at that later age, versus your 20s. I know for me its been a lot of work and taken over 2 years of exercising to do it. Not sure if its the same for everyone, but it probably would be.

    I mean, I think we all know why people don't adjust their habits before gaining 100 pounds. This is America after all. I had a slump in my 30s where I was working too much (desk job) and was recently divorced so I wasn't putting effort into fitness like I had the prior decades. Now, at 44 I'm...

    That small adjustment in metabolism could net a 100 pound gain in 10 years? Scary to think about. My metabolism is definitely way down since my 20s and I have a few years in a row where I simply didn't exercise. Thankfully, I also wasn't drinking then so I think that helped. These days, I'm...

    Ahh, I see what you mean now. No, the XP (for leveling purposes) is the same whether its 1 new class or 2. However, for AA points, doing 1 at a time, each time, would yield more AA.

    Damn guys. You all have some good discipline to lose this kind of weight consistently. I feel like at a failure to launch and really don’t want to rely on pharmaceuticals like other friends our age. I don’t think I have a lot to lose, but certainly 12-15 around the mid section.
