Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie to this thread who has decided to get back into the weight training arena. Up until about 5 years ago my wife and I were very religious about working out and watching our diets. At the time I was 38 yo, 5'9", 185 with minimum body fat. Then a series of unlucky events took me away from the gym; two knee surgeries and being diagnosed as a Type 1.
The diabetes thing left me pretty depressed, between that an the surgeries I lost roughly 20lbs of muscle. Now I've dusted off my old routines and have gotten my butt into the gym.
Looking for discussion/advice on:
1 - handling the lows that occur during lifting sessions
2 - Creatine - "friend or foe"
3 - Supplement powder/post workout drinks
4 - What are the caution areas on lifting w/diabetes
This thread looks like it has some great discussions all ready and I look forward to providing my info/experience in the future.
H.S
