Nice work! I am pre-base building (walk & jog a bit) but will be starting it for real the 2nd week of July after vacation.

Starting stats: 51, male, 161# @ 5' 10". I have 21-year training history with barbells, kettlebells, long-distance running, and biking but I am super weak and deconditioned after almost two years out with injuries & then hernia repair surgery. Also, I am very interested to see how the E ses...

This really will only work as I am so deconditioned after the last two years, but I'll ride it out as far as it goes and then buy a barbell. My ...

Hi- New here, civilian, working my way back to being in shape after a) a long layoff (two years) and b) injury/surgical repair (two inguinal hernias, repaired non-mesh in Dec. 2017). I'm 51, 5'10 & 160, in decent shape all thing considered. I was a long distance mountain runner for a few years u...
