    I started the program at 48 years old and 5’ 10” 175. Had back problems for the last 30 years obviously not due to weight. Now 195 and 6 months into the program. Zero back issues. My back feels 10x stronger from all the deadlifts and squats.

      My back feels 10 times stronger, though measurably, my deadlift is up 50%. Never deadlifted in my life before the program. Deadlift went from 165 to 250 so far. Slower increases now, at 5lb increases every 2 weeks. Rip would tell me I need to gain 15 more lbs of bodyweight to continue to increase. We’ll see. Older = slower increases.

He should have listened and started to follow the free advice (well, free except for the cost of his phone call). His doctor warning him about cholesterol was the real cherry on top. That's indeed what doctors say. They know shit and they spew a lot of BS, raking in cash as they do so. I'm surprised the doctor didn't recommend an open-heart surgery to check his cholesterol.

    Derek is concerned with his high cholesterol, because he perceives it to be an imminent and high level threat to his health (perhaps he's had cardiac episodes in the past or he's had friends family die from heart attack) . That's why he doesn't dare to eat more robustly. I think explaining to him what high cholesterol means (or rather doesn't mean) would have served him better and encouraged him to be more adventurous in his eating habits. He's looking after himself and just needs a little more understanding.

      Yeah I was 160, just shy of 210 now in about a year. Quit chewing dip and learned how to pound food. Didn't worry about how many calories per meal, just made sure to have 3 meals accompanied by at least 2 mason jars (4 cups total) of milk per meal. You can always fit more liquid. 2 cups of milk plus protein powder for a bedtime snack.
      20 piece nuggets plus a large chocolate shake a couple times a week helped too.

    At least give the caller some credit for being honest.
    I just started the program two weeks ago. I'm 5'7.5 and up to 150 pounds from about 143-144. I bought Whey protein and a blender and have two protein shakes a day (whole milk, ice cream, berries, whey protein). I eat two sausage and egg crossaints in the morning (if I get up late) from BK on my way to work (about 40G of protein for $4, can't beat it). Or if I get up early enough 3 eggs, oatmeal, and two glasses of whole milk. I'm just like the caller in that I really hate eating food but I've finally forced myself to eat enough to grow.
    My numbers are 145X5 on bench, 175X5 on Squat, and 215X5 on Deadlift. I'm aiming for 170-180 pounds. I would like a 1.5X BW bench, 2X Squat, 2.5X Deadlift (as my goal for the time being).

    5:56 "you won't look much different from 170 to 190. Guys get all worried about how much fat they're going to gain." This is a dubious statement, or at the very least, dependent on factors beyond someone's height. The caller is 55 years old. If he were to gain 20 pounds in a hurry, a large percentage of that weight will be fat. Unless he has elite genetics for fat distribution, he might be unhappy after he puts on ~15 pounds of fat and 5 pounds of muscle, because at his age, most of that fat will probably end up in his love handles and lower stomach. A 20-year-old trainee with great genetics for fat distribution might be fine after gaining 20 pounds over a short period of time, but that doesn't mean a 55-year-old trainee is going to be happy with how they look if most of that weight ends up in the 'problem areas' for men. Genetics play a huge role in how someone looks as they bulk - everything from how low their lats tie in, to how they distribute fat. Some people carry fat much better than others.

      Your weight is nothing to do with blood pressure. If you have liver fat you will have high blood pressure, if not, not, it is really that simple. Insulin stimulates the kidney to hold on to sodium and fluids and this is what causes high blood pressure, and chronic high insulin is caused by fatty liver. So you can only get hbp if you eat lots of garbage such as sugar, bread and other processed foods.

    I might have an unpopular opinion here but I don't get the obsession with gaining weight while strength training. Even if you remain thin, you are strengthening muscles, bones, and joints. Most people would rather sacrifice some strength and have lower lift numbers if they can have a more fit look. Plus excess fat accumulation causes health problems in itself.

It is so much easier to gain weight as we age because our metabolism slows down. And I know because I am 55 years old myself.
    Breakfast: 4 scrambled eggs, some fried potatoes, and bacon. Have a protein drink with milk in it.
    Lunch: 4-5 pieces of pizza loaded up on toppings. Drink a couple of cups of regular soda.
