How you all doing I recently became a member here. I've been training most of my life and got back to training after a long layoff. I've been back since 2/2026 but had to deal with 2 operations and a delt injury so now I plan on stacking some months together and get some muscle back. This was what I looked like in 2017. I don't plan to train as heavy again I want to stay injury free so I won't be this size again but that's ok I'm older now (63) and just want to stay healthy and look good. Right now I'm on TRT 50mg TC 0.20ml every 3 days. I feel great my diet is chicken breasts, beef, fish, greek yogurt, cottage cheese and eggs for protein, and fruits and green vegetables for carbs. My fats I get from coconut and olive oil, eggs and avocados. I eat from 12pm to 5pm and fast the rest. I eat 2 meals in this time period consisting of 90 grams of protein each meal. I'm not going back to eating 6 meals a day and I am making gains eating like this. So if it isn't broke don't fix it. Anyway looking forward to chatting with you all in the forums.

For sure strongman. One thing I can say is that, if you want to build the best physique you can, then the bodybuilding lifestyle has to become part of your identity. You get out of this as much as you put into it.

welcome bro you were a weapon ! I'm sure you've got a lot of experience under your belt so will be good to have you on the forums!

Welcome to EF brother! You’re fucking huge!

Thanks man I appreciate it. I was 225 at 5'8" then approximately 12% BF. I always trained heavy, I was addicted to squats and deads. I do have some issues with my lower back and knees that I attribute to the heavy training so I'm not sure that's actually a great idea to train that way cause it will catch up to you fast. Now I train higher reps in the 12 rep range and keep the volume low. My reps are slow and I keep constant tension on the muscle.

makes you wonder if you did that when you were younger - would you have got better gains or not??

I believe so, muscle doesn't know how much weight your lifting. Constant tension slow and controlled movements will stimulate growth. It's working for me now but also I have muscle memory so it's going to be difficult to know if my gains are coming from that or muscle memory.
