Push50 - Taking Back My Life Life

[Push50]

Ok I am finally back and getting things straight in my head. I had my hip surgery last November and I have been dealing with bouts of depression and just feeling flat out worthless. And that my friends is BULLSHIT!!!


Its like I am finally waking up from a bad dream. I don’t know if it was the surgery? Anastasia? Recovery period? Lack of Gear? No TRT? Or what? Nevertheless, it is over. Time to get to work.


I have started working out again, really working out, not just getting in the gym and convincing myself that what I did was a workout.
So the plan currently is:


Dial in diet - Toughest part
Minimum 1 hour cardio every day
Workouts 5 days a week
No Gear or TRT
Revisit plan in 6-8 week to compare where I was, where I am at ten, and decide where I am going. Simple


I will post my meals; workouts and photo updates here for any that have an interest in following.

[Push50]

Work has been crazy busy. Everyone is trying toget their projects completed before the snow flies.

Still hitting the weights 5 days a week with cardio for 1 Hour. Stretching and Ring Fit on Saturdays followedby stretching, Ring Fit and massages on Sundays. SometimesI feel like I am just spinning my wheel and not seeing any changes. It’s a lot harder as you get older especially if you are not running any gear or supplements.

SometimesI am my own worst critic, but I am open to your critique as well.

I haveput on 6.4 lbs since I started October 1

Her are my current pics.

and a side by side form my starting pick.

Thanks brother. Planning to run a heavy bulk this winter so I still have some cutting to do before I’m ready for that. Feels great to be getting back what I lost after my hip surgery.

I know what you mean. I'm still recovering from open heart surgery I had just over a year ago. I've got to be really careful with lifting still. I'm hoping I'll be able to get back to into heavy again though it will always be light weight for me.

Haughty I’d throw out a few updated pics from my cut. These were shot on the 18th. I have about 4-5 more weeks on this cut then I’ll take a break before my winter bulk.
