[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 87650, member: 14411"] Body fat is easy to lose, stomach fat is another story. Throw out the scale, or at least de-emphasize it. A monthly body fat test will give you a better read and keep you more sane. Having a six pack is difficult at any age, let alone in our 60s. Regardless of how hard we work or even at any age, stomach fat is going to be the last to go. I got down to 11%, lowest in 25 years and still can't quite get the abs I want. At one point in my 30s I was at 8% and had the six pack for about a year. I suggest keeping at it, but don't forget that it may be something to strive for that comes close, but doesn't quite get there. Madman is is spot on with the suggestion that that is a lot of training. I find my workouts are way better now that over the past 30 years due to training with joint friendly resistance bands and having briefer, more intense workouts. I fear you may burn out mentally with all that hard work and the feeling that you are not getting the results you want. Workouts need to be sustainable over the long haul, and at our ages that should be at least 25 years. i also think you are a harsh critic. Your posts indicate you've made incredible progress. Keep working but don't burn out. I, and you probably as well, find it hard not to compare to guys that post here that are young enough to be our kids or even grandkids, a setup for disappointment and burnout. [/QUOTE]
