Hi Under Grounders,

I'm Chris and I'm 41 years old (birthday's at the end of the month but don't be aging me yet). I think I stumbled on UGBB doing a TRT search a few weeks back but I've been reading a lot of content and getting motivation since then. I was unmotivated in my 20's and didn't even think about weights. Probably weighed 120 pounds until 30 years old. I did a bunch of martial arts in my early 30's but was cardio and fast-twitch focused and still didn't lift. I got married at 36 and backed off the 4+ days a week of kung fu training and built a home gym. I put on 40 pounds and started to really enjoy lifting since then.

I've been super unmotivated for the last year for a variety of reason (work, family health issues, and now corona lockdown tyranny) but I'm shifting gears as my 42nd birthday approaches and getting serious again. I've been adding food to myfitnesspal for like 2 days, so you know it's about to get real :cool: I've been doing the PPL routine from /r/fitness for a while and like it (but I'm bad about skipping leg day, and I haven't been consistent until recently).

My current goals are to stay consistent and drop BF% to 15%.

Welcome to ugbb.

Motivation is great, but anyone can get a good workout in when things are going well.

Focus more on discipline. It’s those that continue the grind, even when the motivation isn’t there, that consistently achieve their goals.

Welcome bud. I call myself 50ish. Never hit a gym till after 30. Discipline problems and drinking kept me from putting on weight. The older I got the more motivated I was able to stay. It helps to be able be around guys with the same goals and intentions.
