Hey guys! Been researching a bit and decided to make the plunge. I am 40 years old, been training since I was 15. Was lifting pretty heavy weights until kids and injuries accumulated. I got down to pretty ripped, but was way too skinny. Now I am just skinny fat 🙂 I recently had a shoulder injury (all set now thanks to Eric Cressey), so I lost some mass in the pic below. I am 6'3″ and 190 here. I train in the AM, and I think the best bet would be to use the Strength Accumulation mode? Then perhaps build on top of that?
Currently doing 4 day upper/lower/upper.lower split, and then have an extra day of sled sprinting .Looking forward to meeting you all
Hey 🙂 Welcome. Just from having a quick look at your photo, I'd like to see you go after more muscle mass rather than worrying about fat at the moment.

Thanks everyone! Fairy- I am all for that! I just got the book today, and am pouring thru the info. One thing is that I lift at 5AM, and I thought I read the Density was harder for the AM workout routine. I am going away for the weekend and will put my questions together. I am not going to stress though, as I realize the tweaks are for maximum results. You think I should do the prep phase?
I think it's worth doing the prep phase to avoid fat gain. Maybe you need a hybrid of the two
Hey jk…I read your post and think we have pretty similar situations… I'm also from boston and ideally like to workout in the morning. I just bought the book and want to start in the next week or so when I get my shopping done. Please keep in touch with how you are doing and what you decided to go with.Good luck Scott
Scott – nice to meet you. I am a little torn as I have that belly fat I want to get rid of but have to put some mass back on. The other thing is that I am starting a new job as an EVP of Product this week, Nd don't want to be zonked out with no carbs. I have been thru that before and my work is more important than a 6 packWhere are you? I am in Winchester
Nice to meet u too.. I am in malden. I actually just went through a 30 day 6 pack abs diet and work out plan (I am actually heading into 3rd month) from muscle and fitness mag. I am def seein results but I am down to about 152 right now. I am afraid if I do the prep phase I am going to get way to skinny. I work construction so I def need energy too. 2 people on the forum replied to a post I wrote saying I should do it. I still have to go out and get all the right protein mixes (I found one called Nitrean that is almost exactly what they give for PWO shake) so have a few days to think about it. What gym do you work out at? Good luck win new job!
I'm in Northboro, east of Worcester. You guys should come to Boston next time Kiefer comes out to see me.
hey guys, after a weekend of vacation and eating poorly, my belly is not in good shape. For that reason, I will go SA for 1-2 months. Even my wife noticed a little, which makes me realize that I just like being shredded/4-6 pack. And I think using that as a starting point for bulking will be better than the state that I am in. I will start a new SA log with some questions nowthanks everyone!
