I started a new thread on Spartan Races as that's my "goal" for working out.

I'm 45 years old, 6'0" and 175lbs. I don't know what my BF is, but I know it's definitely under 10%. When I don't workout, I will lose about 5 - 10 pounds. I have a difficult time gaining weight even at 45.

As for getting to the gym, I have pretty much a full gym in my basement (see partial pic of my gym). I have a power station, bike and full dumbbell set from 5 - 75lbs. also.

I'm gaining strength as well as stamina. My next Spartan race will be a Super, so 8 - 10 miles with 30 obstacles. The first race was "only" 4.5 miles, but it was a signature event and was not easy.
The only downside to working out at home is not having a training partner, so I'm limited to really pushing myself on certain exercises. Bench I only work up to 185lbs and do six reps. Squats I'll work up to 225lbs and do 12 - 15 reps. When I was 20 years younger, I weighed 170lbs and would max out at 315 bench and squat 405 for six reps. Leg press I'd do 720lbs for reps too.

Part of my cross-training is doing pull-ups (3 sets of 12 - 15 reps), sand bag carry (50lbs for 30 minutes), bucket carry (5 gallon bucket, weighing 75lbs for 10 - 15 minutes - NOT EASY!) and running twice a week (7 - 9 miles each run off road).

My wife and I lead a very healthy lifestyle too. We have for years. I drink socially and eat very healthy the vast majority of time. I haven't drank a soda in 18 years and NEVER drank diet soda.
