40 year old here. Heavy lifting (squats, deadlifts, bench etc) and lots of protein cures lots of things. I am still hitting PRs and am way stronger than I was in my 20s and 30s. I refuse to be complacent.

I am 41 and everything is exactly as it was with 20. Nothing has changed whatsoever.
In fact I am in better shape than with 20.

41 yrs old. Always loved weight training. But was told can't build or maintain muscle after 40. These points make alot of sense now that I think about it. Thanks for this video.

This is a meal plan for a man who sits down for a living and has no physical requirements for his job. An active person, who has to put in physical work. Carbs are your best friend. Not sugars, but rice and grains. Keep the fat to minimal and swallow as much protein as you handle. Lastly, watch the magic begin.

Sticking to the basics is by far the safest and most effective method of exercise known to mankind. Before launching my career in the fitness industry as a trainer and nutritionist, my back was falling apart during my college years - That was eons ago!! Given the fact I had crippling back spasms, sticking to safe core workouts and simple push / pull routines, helped me strengthen my back and build the physique I have today at 50!! Keying in on nutrition and making sure that's on point coupled w/ safe, simple consistent exercises can go a long way!! Satay STRONG, my dear amigos!!

Alright…. I’m going in on this.
