I used to train like a 25-year-old tech bro.
Always chasing PRs, ego lifting and wrecking my joints for likes and validation in the mirror.
Now?
I train to dominate at 55, not just survive.
This is my weekly plan for men over 40 who want testosterone, mobility, and real-world strength (not just abs):
• 1 HIT session (low-contact but high intensity for endurance + grit)
• 1 Light rings workout (unilateral upper-body control + stability)
• 1 Pilates session (yoga ruins more than it saves)
• 1 Heavy legs (split between bilateral + single-leg focus)
• 1 Heavy upper body (mostly unilateral + structural work)
Bonus:
I’ll do some Landmine play (not the explosive kind) with a barbell to build rotational power, athleticism, and anti-fragile joints.
After 16 years of training, and going from a skinny 185 pounds to a strong, lean 209 pounds… I’ve learned this:
Most men aren’t training for longevity. They’re training for dopamine hits and digital approval.
And it shows.
Applying “No pain, no gain” when you’re already burnt out doesn’t make you tough…
It makes you brittle.
You need to train like your future depends on it… because it does.

Whenever you’re ready, there’s 3 ways I can help you:
Option 1: Full Access to My Brain.
If you’re over 40...
And you're sick of bandaids, bouncing between protocols, and Pharma dependence...
And you’re ready for private, precision-built testosterone recovery...
Consider applying for my 1-on-1 concierge coaching service (I’ll review your case personally)...

Option 2: Tactical Firepower.
If you like protocols that promise the world and collapse after 3 weeks...
If you’d rather chase hacks than master habits...
And if you're hoping for the next magic capsule to “fix” you...
Please don’t subscribe to my Substack (it’s not for you).
But...
If you’re a high-performing man over 40...
Who wants clarity and complete biological sovereignty...
This is where it begins:
Option 3: Keep Coping.
Scroll more.
Sleep worse.
Numb yourself with caffeine and convenience.
Then wonder why your wife looks at you like a roommate.
Just don’t pretend you didn’t have a choice.
Your testosterone isn’t the only thing at stake, it’s your self-respect.
What’s stopping you from acting right now?
Think about it.. seriously.
Every minute you wait is a kick in the balls of the man you could have been.
