A quick introduction for those that do not know me. I am Push50!!!
I am 55 y/o at 5’6” and weigh in at 170 lbs. Current bf is appx. 10% - 12%
I have been lifting for the better part of 12+ years... I run a clean diet most of the time and even in the times that my diet is not as clean; I still strive to eat healthy and make wise choices.
At the age of 46, I entered my first amateur bodybuilding competition and have competed in two others since then. This was a bucket list item and I have not decided if I will compete again, however, I still run a cycle or two a year and maintain a healthy lifestyle so that if I decide to I am ready. However, I am thinking that this might be my last cycle -MY “Go Big or Go Home” Cycle! But don’t hold me to it!!!!
My diet typically consists of Chicken, Turkey, Fish, Shrimp and (Ground Beef or Steak (lean-less than ¼” fat trim) )1-3 times a week for dinner, broccoli, asparagus, Brussel sprouts, green beans, salad and very few carbs unless I am bulking. This cycle I will be looking to gain weight but still cut body fat. My meals are dependent on whether I am cutting or bulking and the main fluctuation is the volume that I take in and the reduction of carbs when I am cutting. My goal right now is to drop my bodyfat as low as possible. We will see where it goes.
