Ok, I think there's a lot of confusion out there about nutrition and bodybuilding, and very little information for bodybuilders 55+. I have been using the Bodybug, (bodybug.come) which is an electronic devise I wear on my tricep that measures calories burned. I enter in calories consumed into...

Workout Program:
I've been working with a weight-lifing trainer now for over a month--major improvements noted. He pushes me to work muscles I either never worked before, didn't know I had, or avoided--due to feeling some discomfort (I've got osteo-arthritis). Anyway, this has made a big difference--really mix...

Seeing as how I am a lot more vascular now than last time I was at 10%, I am hoping it will be easier to get there a second time. I know muscle memory works, but let's see if there is a ripped memory. Haha.

Hi. thanks for the note. Glad to see things going well there. Thanks for the "shredded" comment. It is surprising the number of comments I am getting from folks, in and out of the gym. But actually up a little on bf now, probably closer to 10%. Will start diet back up next week to start prep for Sept. Hope to be between 5-6% by then.

Lately I've been thinking a little bit about competing. I definitely wouldn't count it out, but I don't quite think I have the build for it...maybe if I'm able to throw on some more size overall I would consider it; a lot of work though, I imagine.

Thanks man -- worth trying -- how long did youtake it prior to comp? And it basically tightened the skin up and took water out? Gary

OK, I'm gonna "bite" on that one...What is the "Game Over" Cut Diet? I'm running 7 miles most days, burning about 800 - 900 calories. I would like to cut back a bit, and plan to do so. BTW, here's a question...I have found as I burn the bodyfat, I also end up with increased loose skin, You're looking pretty tight...is that something that happens over time? If so, what has been your experience? Or is there something you are doing? Saunas?

Jun 25, 2009 8:58am
Hey big man, great to see your recent pics and results...congrats!!! Keep up the great work Beef, and I know you'll have no problem reaching that 5%. What's next for you...any more competitions this summer?

Did you drink less water on the hdrzide as well? How did it affect your being adequately competition? And what's your ideal carb level on low carb days? I am just starting a moderate carb/low carb pattern to see what works.

No - I with haven't gotten ready with my posing-- just started working on it seriously , and now I need to get going on a routine. I was tempted since I met the one of only two guys who was competing in masters and grand masters. If the other guy hadnt shown up I was ready to do it in a borrowed suit, tanning stuff, etc. good motivation.
