About me:
48, male, 6'0", 208#, 43" chest, 14.5" biceps. I travel a lot, usually 2 or even 3 times a month for 4 - 5 days. When not travelling, I work out 5 days / week which includes cycling 3x / week for at least an hour and 2 - 3 hours on Saturday. I ride about 70 miles / week. In the gym, I do leg presses, lat pulldowns, bicep curls, overhead presses, pec flies, and ab crunches approximately every other day. When I am on the road, I slack off a bit as I am so exhausted at the end of a workday.
As for diet, I try to eat healthy, but I don't watch my calories as closely as others and as a result, my weight is coming off slowly. Last year, I hit a peak of 220#, and have lost 15# while gaining significant strength and muscle, so I think I have lost 20+ # over the last year. My goal is to get down to 190 which should put me in the low teens for body fat, according to my bf calculations using the calipers.
Healthwise, I had an angioplasty and stent in November, about 4 months after starting an exercise program. I take ace inhibitor, beta blocker, and assorted other meds. Otherwise, I have recovered from that issue.
My goal is to become a better cyclist and look good for a 48yo by bulking a little more in the torso (legs are already where I want them) but more importantly losing another 25# of fat.
Here is what I look like now. Don't be too harsh.
