The biggest myth in fitness is that teens shouldn't lift.

​I started taking my son to the gym at 14. It didn't just build muscle; it built character. The discipline, confidence, and consistency he’s developed completely change how he carries himself.

​Don't protect kids from hard work. Guide them through it.

Started my weight lifting journey in 2022.

​Dealing with Type 2 diabetes and 2 types of insulin shots, I knew there was a better way.

​Now? No more shots. Just walking and lifting.

​You're never too old to get started. What's stopping you?

@kimmonismus Small jump like Opus 4.8

Current state of AI posts on X

Today:

Codex is total slop. Keeps hallucinating basic system logic. Moving the entire stack to Claude, it’s the absolute goat.

​Tomorrow:

Claude is completely braindead today. Lazy formatting and hit my rate limit in 3 prompts. Codex is back to being an absolute beast.

Off season training 💪 banded deficit deadlifts 235 lb for 1.

I want him to get stronger and bigger by the end of the year.

@AFitTrader No reason to avoid them. Hit 445 last week.

@mariotomich Bulk and build muscle

@CoachDanGo Bending to grab something heavy off the floor is exactly how men over 40 blow out their backs.

You don't dodge that risk by skipping the lift. You train for it.

@phil948 Is both

Average person should do powerlifting at some point.

[Peter Gorski @ByteAndBarbell]

At 42 my blood sugar hit 360. Today I'm chasing 315 bench. Nobody is coming to save you.

Show up.

@CoachDanGo All 3 represent laziness

[Peter Gorski @ByteAndBarbell]

@phil948 What are you smoking? Power lifting is type of strength training. Stop with these stupid comments

[Peter Gorski @ByteAndBarbell]

@phil948 It's better for building maximal strength. At age 40 + that is more important than size of your muscles

[Peter Gorski @ByteAndBarbell]

@phil948 Best way to build strength and muscle

[Peter Gorski @ByteAndBarbell]

Had a great date night with my wife tonight. Our church organized dinner for all the volunteers. We went to Mass together before grabbing some great home cooked Mexican food. The truth is without my wife holding down the house I couldn't give my time to youth ministry. She volunteers at home so I can serve.

@iruletheworldmo Never switched to 5.5

@bolexy2004 Bad form

Which type are you and which one you want to be at 80?

[Dan Go @CoachDanGo]

Your body at 40 is at a fork in the road.

One path leads to strength, mobility, and independence at 80. The other leads to frailty, chronic disease, and dependence.

Here's what happens if you don't start exercising at 40:
