I'm cleared to go back and hit the gym, and I'm so happy and excited.

One nice thing about my genome is that I build muscle like CRAZY (despite being fairly low-testosterone... I shudder to think what I'd be built like if I had normal T levels for a male my age!). It only takes me a couple of weeks to lay on heavy slabs of muscle.

Now that I'm losing fat (and I'm also keeping my Protein very high, watching my carbs a little, and tweaking all of the known bodybuilding micronutrients like arginine, carnitine, chromium, and so on), it should be a rocket sled! I have my age working against me, but everything else is in my favor.

Right now, I'm DEPRESSINGLY weak and flabby from probably a year plus of almost no real workouts. So, while that's annoying, I know it'll come back quick, and I LOVE that sore muscle "I just worked out" feeling.

I'm really excited! It's gonna be a great summer!

Looks like you are doing great!

Keep up the good fight! :thumbup1: Too bad we don't get credit for running around the Borian Tundra! ROFL

What a positive outlook...good luck on shaping and toning your body!

LOL, I got a little... overeager, and slightly strained my left triceps. That'll learn me!

I should be healed in a few days. In the mean time, I'm walking over 3 miles a day, at approximately 3.5 mph. VROOOOM!

WEll done you! Keep up the good work..... walking and otherwise.
