Getting back after 10 years

[wrenchturner]

Hello all. I'm 42 years old now and starting to realize that I'm starting to feel my age if not older then i am. So i started back lifting
and cant believe how much strength i have lost. It's like im starting all over again from day one. Anyway enough of my crying about
it. Site looks nice kinda like some of the old ones i used to be part of. Glad to be back at it again.

You'll build back more quickly that it took the first time, so keep plugging away hombre.

Welcome to the Underground. My situation was similar. I didn't lift for over a decade. You'll find a lot of support and knowledge here.

Welcome to UG. Yeah it's a start over but it will come. Put your head down and get to work and the change will come. At 42, you still have something left in the tank.

Thanks for your massage

Your muscle fibers may have shrunk but all the mitochondria you developed from your former lifting days are still present. That's essentially what "muscle memory is." Use creatine monohydrate, eat & train to build strength & you'll be surprised how fast you bounce back. I'm doing this on my 3rd week in after a 3+ year lay off & my strength has shot up tremendously.
