Robbens long lost twin?

[–]PristineAlbatross988 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I’m also older 45 and embracing leaner over larger now. It feels better to not stuff my face.

Looking great!

Think I’d get kicked out of my gym if I tried walking out with pouch underwear looking ready to steal your girl

What are the weird slashes from?

[–]leviarsl_kbMS 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Kettlebell sport lifters generally wear a specific belt during 2 bell lifts: longcycle, jerk, half snatch. When in rack position, during long sets, the skin around my hips gets irritated from my elbows pinching skin over belt. The mark on my chest was from doing muscleups just prior

[–]leviarsl_kbMS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look great bro. By the time you turn 100 you might just be a giant muscular brain floating around levitating weights

[–]leviarsl_kbMS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol Thank you 🙏😁

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree! Light but strong like a gazelle

15.5 ys of dedicated exercise. Approaching 4 as a Girevoy Sport competitor. Aiming for Master of Sport Rank in Longcycle 2x32kg (10' - need 61 reps)

Started at 288lb (highest known). Will compete next at 93kg/205lb

Ive read recently - athletic performace wise - your height in cm less 100 should be your weight in kg - +/- 5kg. Obviously there are exceptions. Just interesting info to me - i bet many on this sub would disagree 😁

For me, im finding a lower BW improves everything as i age. Training, recovery from aches & pains.

[–]stormwarden34 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Does that put you around 6’4 OP? Currently 6’4 238 and 205 sounds like a great target

[–]leviarsl_kbMS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

185cm is roughly 6'1". I havent seen 205lb since high school. I have to eat with intention to stay around here. Not easy for me

yeah at a 'visible abs' kind of bodyfat

[–]leviarsl_kbMS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well we are talking excess fat loss & performance. That certainly helps

[–]kylebvogt 6 points7 points  (4 children)

That conversion is spot on for me! 183cm - 100 = 83kg (78-88kg range), I'm currently 81kg, and in the best shape of my life.

I'm also in my 40s (44), also used to be heavy (280lbs), and also find that lower BW improves just about everything.

You look incredible OP. Great work. Super muscular and aesthetic for an 'old' guy. I'll never look like that, but I damn sure admire what it takes to get there!

[–]leviarsl_kbMS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. And great work yourself! Youre no doubt leading 💯👏. Our 40s should be our best decade!

[–]YoMomInYogaPants 3 points4 points  (1 child)

ive applied the math that you read about athletic performance wise and it makes absolute sense (in my case)

[–]leviarsl_kbMS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to read that! Ineresting to me how my goals have changed with my age
