So after the recent health issue discussions and the drug threads how about a discussion on a related health topic: downsizing.
We all know it is healthier for the heart not to weigh too much as we age. Being 49 and weighing 220-225lbs at 5'10 I often think I should downsize but I am wondering what peoples thoughts are on this subject?
I am on TRT (125mg) and maintain an ok bodyfat somewhere around 12-15% I would say. Blood work and resting heart rate is normal. Is the idea of downsizing simply to lose weight just for weighing less even though blood is good? I am struggling to find a reason other than weight? If bloods and HR is good, why downsize?
According to the BMI scale we (BBs) are all obese but of course this scale does not take into account our muscles. If I lost 20-25 lbs I would still be considered very fat according to that scale.
I love to train heavy but don't like the idea of training lighter just to lose weight when my bloods are good. I walk LISS cardio 3 days per week year round too.
Is it necessary to downsize? What indicators would you use to let you know that you need to downsize?
