Weight loss
Iâve been a part of BD since January. I made a commitment to quit drinking alcohol. Weâve always ate healthy but alcohol/empty calories was an issue. As of today Iâve lost 18 pounds and I am not overweight at all. Alcohol is a killer for weight loss and quality gains as well as overall health. Keep up the work everyone!

@Edward Plain Thanks! And good work in your journey. I wonât say âluckâ because as we know itâs about work not luck.

@Rob Bailey Thanks Rob. For me it was a health and well being decision. I was never a big drinker and really just decided life was better without it. Congrats on 7+ years sober!! đđź

At the gym this morning
At the gym this morning and something really stood out⌠The amount of phone distraction was incredible. Iâm not judgingâjust observingâbut it made me wonder how much people are actually getting out of their workouts. While I was warming up my old joints on the treadmill, I found myself watching people walk around more than they were actually training⌠scrolling, texting, drifting from machine to machine. Then I started lifting, and I could hear Keith in my head: âmind-muscle connection.â And it clicked. Thereâs a big difference between being at the gym and actually training.When you slow down, focus, and connect to the movementâyou feel it. The workout becomes intentional. Purposeful. Less distraction.More connection.Better results. Something Iâm reminding myself of moving forward.

Personally, my gym time hasnât changed in 40 years. Mind on the task at hand. Maybe some music playing on the headphones. Very little talking and definitely no staring at my phone. Now I have a home gym and itâs the same process except I probably move faster. (Always house/lawn work to do)

Pre workout drinks
What are peopleâs thoughts on Pre workout drinks, I tried one from Zim. For the first time what do you think about using them before workouts often.

I used to take C4 before workouts but found the excessive caffeine affected my sleep habits. Most pre-workouts have 200-300 grams of caffeine. A cup of coffee has about 70. At 62, I just stick with coffee.

Mind Muscle Connection
Most guys are moving weight, not building muscle. There's a difference. At our age, the ego needs to stay out of the gym - because if you can't actually feel the muscle working, you're just going through the motions. I built more in my 50s than my 30s once I stopped chasing numbers and started feeling every rep. Next time you're doing a curl, I want you to genuinely ask yourself: did I feel my bicep do that, or did I just move the weight from A to B? What's one exercise where you've genuinely cracked the mind-muscle connection, and what did it take to get there? Where are you right now with this? I added a poll below so we can see where everyone is đŞ

Iâve lowered weight and changed tempo. More of a 3-1 tempo and love it!
