Already day 3 - what's the plan? I just turned 49 and want to hit 315 on the bench before I turn 50. I'm close but been kind of stuck for months where I am currently. Other than that it's dial in my diet. Way more fish and veggies. You? |

| Still working toward benching my body weight for 20 reps. I have gotten to 15 but run out of gas. I am slowly working up in weight for 5 rep sets, and I think around 255 x5 is where I should be able to hit 185x20. I am far from a beast and didn’t really lift at all until I was 41, getting there though, maybe before I am 43. |

Get back on the wagon. My diet is out of control and I'm not exercising. I need to get my eating sorted back out (reducing carbs/sugar/booze) and get back to exercising. I'd like to lose a pound a week this year. I don't think that is unreasonable. Also read more, spend less time on screens, shoot more, and finish my square body truck project. But that's another forum... |

My goal is consistency. Not focused so much on weight, reps, sets. Just consistency. I want to run 2-3 times weekly and lift 4 times a week. I struggle with not seeing progress and then give up. If I can focus on just being consistent the progress should happen (fingers crossed).

| Everything I read says consistency is the biggest challenge. I've been forcing myself to do that for a couple years now. It's SLOWLY becoming a habit. Today is leg day (dammit) and I'm about to head out to the shed and knock it out. Guess it's the right thing to do. |

But I always remember that the two generation that came before me ended their lives with walkers. I do not want that for me nor do I want new tennis balls for my walker for Christmas, I want ammo |

| Following losing about 70 lbs this past year, my goal is to now slowly gain weight while still staying somewhat lean. Currently at 175ish, will lean out again in April. In addition to my daily lifting, I've begun a Christmas to Christmas challenge to hit 75k pushups over the year. I am pretty well ahead of pace, averaging about 250 pushups a day. |
