muscle memory/old man strength/summer bulk

routine?

Even more odd - I beat the piss out of myself twice a week. I did powerlifting/strongman for
many years. On wednesdays its all upper body-
mostly compunds - bench, chins, rows - not
much overhead as Ive now fixed both shoulders, light belt squats between sets..

on sat I'll both pull and squat - different variations-one heavy, one not so much - mess with stones or do farmers or yolk - whatever
I can actually manage to get halway through with
the strongman guys...finish with reverse hypers and ghr's.

just twice a freakin week...

and see if anyone has had anything similar.

because I grew up in the 90's we all got shit tattoos and I kept em off my forearms and neck.

I've managed to procreate, get a degree and am a
partner in a moderately successful buisness.

my hair is starting to thin and im way more self conscious about that.

I once gained 9 kg of mostly lean mass in a similar time span after having been hospitalized for a week where I was pretty much chained to the bed and didn't eat.

It's a bit of a shaky field is science still at this point, at far as I know, but there is certainly something to the body having "set points". The purpose is to maintain homeostasis of course. I believe these sets points are part of the reason why muscle memory is a thing. They're also why so many people experience a huge weight rebound when they go off a diet.

I can dig that- I always did best competing at 242,
really forcefed to get to the 308's but seemed to hang out at 240-50.

Pre-injury I was leaning out and getting pretty
just for the hell of it maybe 215 at 12-15(real)%
bodyfat. Suprised I didnt turn int a sloppy 250
but a sickly 195.

Strength certainly all back yet but no fancy programming
needed. - just linear progression every week.
Now that Im not embarrassingly week its really
fun to not have to do a six week wave to put 5-10 lbs on a lift.

*strength NOT back and I'll correct week to weak.

Was just checking in on /fit/ - not gonna keep bumping myself if no one can add anything.

Its always been odd here but there used to be alot
more fitness and alot less feels...a few epic tripfags that were excellent trolls...

getting old....check that, was already old when I found this place.

I wish ya'll well and most of you guys really are
going to make it.

Come back and check on us every once in a while. It's nice to have some people who actually lift.

I didn't even notice, thought your hair was lush. It'll creep back up your forehead a little as time goes, but I don't see you balding before 50.

will do- used to post vids and try and help people
get strong.
I'm all swole up but am benching low threes, havent put four wheels on my back and just got back to low fives pulling.
Hopefully, most of that can come back and I
can make neat vids and be strong again, not just
look like it. Slow and steady every week...
Have a great night /fit/izens
