Old guy trying to get a little bigger

[MidwestMan]

Started lifting again after years of inactivity - never gonna be huge, esp at my age, but I want to gain a little and get seom definition. Would appreciate any suggestions/constructive criticism. 5' -8", 165 at present.Thanks-

You dont look old... Only criticism would be SHAVE!!!!!

[rookiebldr]

You are never too old to get bigger. I plan on being proof of that. You definitely have a good base to start growing from. :)

How old are you?

[rookiebldr]

It says in his profile he's 43.

I am 44 - geez, that's too close to 50. Reality is, though, I am in better health and general condition now than I was when I was 25 or 30. No more smoking, no more drinking...pretty boring existence these days.

Eat,Eat,Eat .

Dude, you look great for 43. Nice and lean. Most people have pot-bellies by then!

Sorry I miscalculated. I'm 46 and that's even closer to 50. ugh! Ditto on the rest of what you said though.

Start bulking dude.

Hey wait a minute! I'm 49! That's close to 50! I never thought 50 felt this young... and cool.

Eat more. Shave. Think young.

Dont worry about shaving. Your body hair isnt out of controll, and it doesnt look out of place. When im in my 40's, I will be proud of my manly body hair.

edit: spelling

Hey, it's never to late to start. Goodluck! :thumbup:

Took a few new pics now that a month has gone by. Working out 2 to 3 times a week and not really seeing much change. Weight steady at 165. Trouble working legs - squats result in low back pain. Suggestions appreciated. I appreciate the feedback I've received so far - thanks. My wife just laughs at me and says it's my 'mid-life crisis'.

Pretty lean physique, but looking good.

not bad for an old man :)

Looking good

Not too bad for an old guy. I'd work on the pecs and shoulders - little weak there. Looks like the quads need some work - got any better front shots of the wheels? Put on a little weight. Overall not a bad base. Keep it up man.

One other suggestion - I agree with a couple of the other guys - you gotta get rid of the hair on the chest and back.
