I intentionally gained 5lbs this weekend... on purpose. 🤯
Here's the crazy story...

Your legs make up 60% of your muscle mass… and most lifters train them like an afterthought.
Here’s why that’s killing your performance

Muscle after 40 isn’t a sprint--it’s a campfire.

Keep it burning, and you’ll never start from scratch again.

💾 Save this for future you.

[The Iron Ager @TheIronAger]

You can spend a year building muscle… and lose it in 21 days.
Here’s how to make sure that never happens after 40 🧵

[The Iron Ager @TheIronAger]

Men over 40 don’t need to train harder than 25 year olds.

We just need to train smarter, recover better, and keep feeding the fire.

[The Iron Ager @TheIronAger]

Build Slow. Lose Fast. Win Anyway.

It can take you a year to build muscle--& just 3 weeks to lose it.
Your body isn’t “fighting you.” It’s efficient. Learn the rules, and you can win.
Muscle after 40 is a chess match. Here’s how to stop losing pieces.

So TikTokers just discovered this cute new little drink called “MD20/20” aka MAD DOG 2020….this isn’t going to end well

Excited to kick off my 30-day variable recovery workout on April 1st! Yesterday, I primed with a total body compound lift session, focusing on those shoulder stretches. Ready to take on the challenge!

Unpopular opinions:

Alcohol is overrated.
Weight lifting isn't for everyone.
You're lying to yourself when you say you'll start later.
You are out of shape because of your own lack of discipline.
Diet, low-fat, and less-calories labels don't mean healthy.

Common myths:
Cardio = weight loss.
Dieting = misery.
Weight lifting = bulky.

Reality check:
Cardio = heart health.
Nutrition = weight, health.
Weight lifting = strength, tone.

Small steps pave the way for big changes:

- Read 10-20 pages daily
- Write 50-100 words daily
- Practice music for 20-30 mins daily
- Invest a thousand per month

Begin small ➡️ Excel ➡️ Thrive
