My biggest issue is that I’m 55 years old. So if I eat more to bulk up a bit as I lift heavier, I lose my ab definition. But to keep my abs, I look skinny.
Getting lean buff is freakin hard at my age. Vanity-wise I look ok tho a bit scrawny, and most people don’t believe my age.
I’m always amazed at athletes that can be both lean and muscular. I’ve found that I have to be one or the other. And I know that diet may be the key, so I’m trying to dial that in.
Funny thing tho, so I posted a shirtless selfie to AI, then told them my age and stats, and asked what it would take to be in the shape of a college rower. And asked for detailed routine and timing for that. And I’d like to follow it step-by-step after I finish my current “workout 100 days consistently using AI workouts” kick I’m on.
Pretty interesting answer, and I’ll post it here in a few but I wonder if I might also have it do a diet for me.
I’m almost 40, and I agree the lean fit thing is hard AF. I’ve always been slender. My max weight for the longest time was 175. Last few years it started to creep up. I’m at 200 now.
While I have lean buff as my goal, my overarching objective is to be healthier, which I’m happy I’m meeting even if my gunt isn’t going anywhere.
With your 100 day challenge make sure you have rest in there. I work out 5x a week and rest 2 days (weekend). It’s a lot even like that.
I def gotta try this. My goto for last several weeks has been chicken, rice and broc. I need to change things up.
I’m in a similar boat. Beef stew and chicken thighs with rice have been doing A L O T of heavy lifting over here
