ChokeHoldBear's blog

Middle aged muscle bear?

I've not updated this blog in over a year and in that time I've been slogging away at the gym. Lifting heavy stuff up, holding and then putting back down over and over. I've found a new gym, a trainer and got a new training plan and diet which is helping my muscle mass increase and reducing my fatness 🐻.

I am aiming to lift at least four days a week and hitting five days regularly, which I love and I'm feeling the results of that. Lol.

I know a few of you will be like 'who cares' or 'so what' but those of you don't get how much the gym has changed my life, given me confidence and helped me look better. I mean I'm middle aged and have 18inch biceps 💪 (I'm not modest about that).

I've returned to my blog after receiving a message from a guy who had read my old posts. He said he's found reading them helped and inspired him as it matched his challenge in gaining muscle at a later stage in life - all I can say is thanks man, that means a lot to me. This was the purpose of my blog when I was regularly writing them.

So I may now do some regular updates on the progress I make with my trainer. For those interested, keep an eye out.

I've put some progress pics up. For those interested I'm currently 115kgs, have a 48in chest, 18in biceps and 27in thighs.

If I could give only one recommendation to a wrestler, it would be for CHB.

And I have wrestled many of the best out there, so make of that what you will.

Looking awesome ChokeHoldBear! Keep up the great work.....sticking to a fitness and diet plan isn't easy, but it seems like you have the routine down. I remember my 40th birthday, in the gym, and thinking that now that I turned 40, I wasn't going to go to the gym anymore....none of my friends or colleagues bothered to go, why should I? But, the next gym day, I went right back in and just kept going regularly....and another almost 30 years later, still going to the gym (I was there today) and I am so glad I kept going. The benefits have been very good....could my diet be better?....yes.....am I ever going to be Mr. America?.....no......but, I am not taking any pills or medications as most of my friends do, no medical issues yet (thank goodness) and I honestly think it is because for many years I did my best to workout three days a week consistently. And....for the last few years, added wrestling to my life....and having a blast with it. So ChokeHoldBear.....keep your routine going.....the benefits will not only show up now, but later in life. Congrats!
