So in conclusion, I need to man up, stop making excuses and get stronger.

Done.

Got serious about getting stronger at about 33 years of age but had been doing some weights in one form or another since 14. First powerlifting comp' I did 190/120/237.5 (I think), u90kg.

Started deadlifting about 6 months before my first PL comp in 2008 (age 35). Never really squatted much before that, just playing about with weights for about 20 years. Did 175/130/240 at that comp. Not any better than that now, but then I'm still just playing about with the weights!! I bloody hope you can get stronger at 40+!!

Got into powerlifting when I was 15.
BDFPF British champion with 160/85/210 @82.5kg.
Won a few welsh comps, got 2 European records (DL and total) then gave up to focus on rugby.
Fannied around with weights for 15 years.
Didn't squat or DL really.

Started training seriously again when I was 32, entered my first strongman comp when I was 33.
Won a few comps last year @ 34 yrs old.
My aim is to still be doing Strongman at 40 yrs old, wether my body will let me is another thing. Happy
