Can you handle the truth?
No, really.
Can YOU handle the truth?
Most older men can't.
No matter what they say, they can't.
And, because they can't, the information you need to hear never gets told.
It goes against the grain.
It gets too much resistance from untrained minds.
So, why bother?
These are just a few of the things that elite, experienced men who workout and look great (and have for a long time) want to tell you, but they know you just won't understand.
They know that you are getting the majority of your instruction from undertrained minds. You're getting your information from people who worry too much about what other people think. They worry about what the "internet trolls" and inexperienced, less knowledgeable fitness experts will say about them.
If you want to get to the next level . . . I mean you REALLY want to get to the next level . . . you need to know what I've posted down below.

If you don't like the way you look in the mirror, it isn't because your "macro ratio" isn't perfect. There's no magic in the "perfect" macro ratio. Look elsewhere for what's stopping you from having the body you want. That's not it.
๐ฎ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ป๐ผ "๐๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ๐" ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ๐๐ฒ๐น๐๐ฒ๐. It's going to come down to calories more than the quality of food to lose the fat. Eating in a "healthy" manner isn't always directly tied to being lean and muscular. Should you be eating healthy foods AND look fit? I think so. But you can get lean eating foods that aren't all that good for you. BONUS TIP: There are no magical diets either.
๐ฏ. ๐๐น๐น ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐น๐ฑ (๐ญ๐ฎ ๐๐ผ ๐ญ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐) ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป'๐ ๐ด๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป. ๐๐ฏ๐, ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐บ๐, ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ . . . ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฑ๐. And, if you aren't OVERLOADING the muscle underneath your body fat, you aren't progressing and improving their look either. So, forget about the 50 leg raises and the 100 situps for better looking abs. They feel good after doing them, but they're inefficient. You must overload the targeted muscle group with weight . . . or create that overload with a tremendous amount of efficiency waiting for that 50th or 100th rep to finally get to overload.

๐ฑ. ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐๐ป'๐ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ต๐๐ฟ๐. Using weight that is TOO HEAVY FOR YOU is what can get you hurt. No one tells you how much weight to use. Any weight you use should be "heavy" by the end of your set if you're doing it right.

The chances are great that no man who is drug-free, training over 5 years, and at any age will gain 10 pounds of rock-solid muscle this year. He may go up 10 pounds on the scale, but very little of it will be rock-solid muscle. That's just not how it works. That doesn't mean you can't look GREAT at this age! OF COURSE, YOU CAN! It just isn't going to happen the way you might be thinking right now.

Look elsewhere. Pushing the muscle past what it is used to through progressive overload makes sure the body doesn't adapt to what you're doing. So, you don't need to mix up your training routine nearly as often as what you might think.

If you're a little too "black and white" and anal retentive in life and you know it, it's more than like causing you problems reaching your fitness goals. The "next level" in your body probably isn't going to come a deeper understanding of training once you've made it to a certain level.

If you can't lose the last 10 pounds or so of body fat no matter how hard you work out, it's because of the way you're eating.
Even if you think you're eating well enough and in a calorie deficit, this short video explains why that's not enough to get the job done.

If youโre like most of the men who listen to this podcast, you have accomplished a few things in your life. But, despite those accomplishments and all of the praise you continually get, youโre still not satisfied. You have a lot of talent. Youโre willing to do the hard work.You just know that you have a lot more to achieve in your life. You have a lot of โunfinished businessโ!
In this podcast, I talk about how youโre not alone if you think about all of the things you still havenโt accomplished or experienced in your life yet.

When you look in the mirror, youโll know what it takes to get from where you are now (Point A) to get to where you want to be (Point B) with more certainty and confidence. It doesnโt matter where you are right now or what your goals are, youโll know what to do.
Then, it will just be a matter of you doing what you know for a long enough period of time. Thatโs a great place to be. Youโll have a better sense of control during the entire process. The most important training, eating, lifestyle, and mindset strategies are all covered.
Youโll know exactly what to do ...
Most older men canโt.
No matter what they say, they canโt.
And, because they canโt, the information you need to hear never gets told.

Today after a warm-up I decided to eliminate pyramiding up in weight and just go for my heaviest weight for 8-10 in squats. That was 225/8, 225/6, and 225/7. Then I applied that same method with incline DB 70/11, 70/10, followed by close grip Lat Pulldowns 125/10, 130/10, 140/7. With a bit more rest between sets I hit my 1st rule. My rule is 60 minutes
