5'10 and 193 this morning. Was 198 but doing a small cut to lean out a little.
Just turned 49, so I don't go really heavy anymore, try to focus on working in a variety of exercises, functional moves (walking lunges with dbells are killer), focusing on slow eccentric (4 - 5 seconds) and really feeling the muscles work. This seems to work for me and my body type. I've also backed off frequency a little as I can tell it takes a little longer to recover.
I really think it makes a huge difference in your success to find the type of training that your body responds to best. And that likely will change over time, with training age/experience, and as you get older.
As everyone has pointed out, diet is really the main point of emphasis, you can't out train a bad diet. To me it's 25% training and 75% diet.
