welcome back EB (Greg) . Havent seen ya for ages. Yes, the 2012 new years resoloution is the same one I chose, lose some weight and live longer. I have lost apx 8 kg's in apx 3 weeks, so its going well.

Is 41 yrs too old for the gym ? all the young blokes looking over at the old Bull and laughing, until u lift a decent weight that the young blokes couldnt do.lol

I hope all the members on here who chose a 2012 new years resoloution to lose weight all get there and have fun along the way. !  

Did some of my best sessions in my early 40's burning 1000 cals a session 6-7 days a week and maybe a jog as a second session. Didnt lose weight but built lots of muscle and ate more than a small family. Just don't over do it in the beginning. I walked first and light weights, then tried jogging for a minute or two then walk etc etc.

Build up to it and throw away pulling the big weights until you are sure you got the form right. The tendons I snapped the surgeon told me were very frayed due to wear and tear before the accident. I know that was due to preacher curls at insane weights where I could feel the rips but thought I could quickly bulk up the biceps. Now they're sewn up nice and tight again I won't be trying to show off to the young guys. good luck with getting healthy though
