Better last night. Before practice, blood was 106. Ran 8 laps, with sit-ups, push-ups, leg lifts, dips at each lap. Then hoed weeds until practice was over. Blood was 125 when I got home to tacos de papas for dinner.

Today was a rare workout. I normally only have caffeine on Wednesdays. Being a holiday AND Wednesday I got coffee before going to gym. Hit legs, but listened to brain instead of coffee to maintain amount on squats.
I think we might have gotten down to close to freezing overnight, so pool water was extra cold, so much so that even after a dozen or so laps I was still tingling and near brain-freeze.

Definitely. More weight equates to more strength (....generally speaking). Chubsters are strong.

Lol! I'm a strong guy, and I almost had my hand crushed and my arm torn off by this chubby dude who looked as though he had eaten five too many value meals every day for 10 years.

I need some help with legs. I've never had any. I give them most attention and still nothing. I do feel more sore after workouts with higher rep squats 12s or so. I have a previously repaired knee and at times that seems to limit but even before no growth they get stronger but no size.

Try biking, especially up hills. It's my only leg workout for the last 2 years since tearing my left ACL/MCL/meniscus. Quads and calves gain size and get ripped.

I'm creeping up to 200 again. 185 is still where I would like to be. Swimming was great until the weather changed. Since the outdoor pool isn't heated yet, I was only able to do 2 laps at a time last week, then I'd get a headache and have to jump in the Jacuzzi. Not sure that hot/cold stress is as good for the heart when pushing 50.

throw in 2 days a week, one day focus on quads(squat/leg press/leg extension/lunges)

next day focus on glutes/hams. high volume too, none of that 3 exercises and done crap.

make sure ur nutrition is on point as well

I hit legs last night, and went up a little on most things.

I can't swim any more, so instead I'm using the Olympic-sized pool as my personal cryotherapy pool. I jump in the cajuzzi for 4-5 minutes, then 2 minutes neck-deep in the cryopool. Do this twice, ending in the cold, then take a quick shower and head home. Mixed medical reviews on such a regimen, but if placebos work, why not? I sleep a bit better that night, and things don't seem to be quite so sore the next day. My knees weren't so wobbly after legs last night.

You could, but most gyms require a certification. If you start an IG page dedicated to fitness, that would be a better avenue.

So it's getting to be very frustrating. This whole aging thing sucks.

I never had GUNS, but I also didn't have sagging skin at the elbows where my biceps used to be.

I didn't push huge weights, but my elbows and shoulders never hurt after pushing the same thing 2 girls left on the chest machines

About the only thing that is working well is leg day. And 2 minutes sessions in the 40* water.

Are you varying between the barbell and dumbbell workouts?

I need to do more of this. I have been doing more barbell, but also since I changed up my tempo its making a difference. After I leaned out down to mid 140lbs last year I've been stuck at like 148-149lbs.
