To big!

[BG]

So at almost 58 years old I am very happy with my size and would just like to get a bit leaner. Problem is every time I cut I get bigger, almost to the point that I am going to have to start buying x large shirts vise large. I am about ready to stop lifting and just do HIIT in the mornings 3 times a week and steady state cardio after work. I really am not to worried about losing any muscle as long as I lose bodyfat. Right now I am at about 215 and 16% bodyfat. I have changed my workouts and use lighter weights and higher reps. For example on bench instead of doing 315 for 8ish I do 225 for 16ish.

Any of the other over 50 club sometimes feel like this?

Sorry so late to the party I was just there, I was as big as I could get with the amount of gear I was willing to run and it kinda became a hindrance. Pain in the ass with clothes, sweating all the time and when I moved I thought I wouldn't get a job being so big........well big wasn't the issue so much as being jacked. I was right, I had a hard time getting a job and I fully deflated, I ended up getting a government job and had to do so serious interviews. But now Im ready to get back going again, Im going to get my legs and back up to par and just firm the rest.

Now the thing as far as stopping, as we break 40's things Ive found some things dont come back if you stop, they are gone for good so becareful, Im talking about the ability to lift heavy and train with intensity. If I were you I wouldn't think over what your willing to give up, the cardio is a great idea, especially heart/health related, but the benching, 315 for 8 is a good bench, bet you worked hard to get there, do you really want to give that up? Go slow with changing training, really think it out, you dont want to give up somethings that you cant get back.

It is extremely effective in gaining work as a contractor. As far as an employee goes most are probably worried that you would be a dbag they would be scared to control.

Its amazing how differently people treat you going from skinny to large and also annoying.
I was a dangerous person at 180 and I wasn't respected or taken serious by several people that won't look me in the eye now.

Makes me want to lose muscle and beat the shit out of them.
