I'm 56 years old with more spare parts than a farm truck - titanium rods, hips, screws and more scars than skin.
This mornings stats:
6'2" or 3" depending on which rebuilt leg I'm standing on.
213.1 lbs at 10.8% body fat. Wife slobbers when I take off my shirt.
I check my weight and BF every Monday and keep a log. I plan everything I eat. I plan every training session and track my progress on every lift.
You won't change what you don't track. If you don't work to a standard you will never improve. If you don't do the work you will die before your time.
You are what you eat. LEARN what works for you and stick to it. For me it's lots of veggies, good quality fats and moderate protein. No junk food.
90% of what I eat I cook myself. I travel 150 days a year and still manage to do it. Fresh veggies in a baggie with butter and 4 minutes in the microwave. Done.
I quit alcohol years ago because ld. Made it a lot easier to keep up with everything, including my car and my sanity.
Fitness is my best survival tool because it supports my cognitive functions - Everything positive in my life is because I usually outthink my competition.
Simple does not mean easy. It is simple to know and hard to implement day in day out.
Anyone can buy a sexy LMT and ACOG. Throw on the tight 5.11's and add night vision. Sit on you ass with potatoes chips and watch a LAV training CD.
My cranky old ass, with the mud covered 6920 hanging from the rope sling around my massive chest will leave you in the dust. Even after I had to add a heavy ass Aimpoint because again ld. It doesn't matter where you are - you can improve no matter where you fell on life's lottery.
But dang you all I'm not giving up my Copenhagen.
