[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 1088353, member: 1535"] I'm just turned 41 and I guess old age is creeping up on me. Lollll. I have lifted since I was 15 or so. I started martial arts in elementary school,started boxing and wrestling in junior high,lifted and played football junior high thru college. After a short boxing and kickboxing career was over in my mid 20s I got into bodybuilding to put on some mass, even worked as a personal trainer awhile. In my early 30s I got into powerlifting pretty heavy duty. The last 5 years or so though I have just been doing twice a week maintenace workouts 9 months out of the year as I am super busy running a couple of businesses in addition to my music career. I do try to lift year round I just dont lift really aggressive any more like I did 10 years ago. I try to mix up boxing and JKD workouts with the weight workouts,I ride my bicycle with leg weights on,and do some cardio. Plus my guitar practices and playing style are highly aggressive. I put in alot of hours at that,so that really works the forearms also. My main problem though,is in the 3 months of winter during my bands off time, I tend to workout less and eat more and I end up packing on alot of extra bodyfat. Hence the 'polar bear' syndrom. Then in the spring I have to get really aggressive to burn the fat. I only have 2 months to do it so I probably go a little overboard is the reason why I am so sore after workouts. Its usually just temporary though and I work thru it in about a month. And like I said in my OP I am drinking my gallons of water,carb loading the night before workouts,carb drinks during workouts,a lactic acid flush drink post workout,and protein shakes post workout and into the recuperation days afterwards so I shouldnt have much soreness. I may just be over doing it in a hurry to lose the weight. And my age. I just dont seem to be able to recuperate as fast as I did 10 or 20 years ago,and my metabolism is not as fast as it once was. I have decided to try and shoot on the day of a workout before the workout. That way I am less sore. Or I guess I could learn to shoot gangsta style with one arm out and the pistol horizontal. Ya,alot of the younger ones are. Lolllll. I'm the older married super sized version who likes to eat and drink too much. No drugs here,my dad was a Marine DI/MP then a cop when I was growing up, so I never got into that junk. I do like to drink though. Its in my blood. I was the classic mesomorph when younger but turned more endomorph as I got older. I weighed 200lbs in the 9th grade. My father was a 6'5" 300lb Scottish-Irish big ol boy and I inherited his thick legs and broad shoulders. My mom is 1/2 American Indian and the rest French/German so I got her love of food.
