Most men don’t lose their body because they “got old”… they lose it because they got comfortable. Somewhere between work stress, family duties, and “I’ll start Monday,” the training becomes random, the eating becomes sloppy, and the mirror starts telling the truth you’ve been avoiding. And then you think the problem is age. It’s not. Your body still responds — even in your 40s, 50s, and 60s — but only when you stop guessing and start training with a proper plan. Not a hype workout. Not a 30-day challenge. A structured system that builds muscle, protects your joints, and keeps progress coming when motivation dips. That’s exactly what my 6-month coaching is built for: a phased comeback plan with progression, recovery, and real accountability — so you don’t just “get in shape”… you become the kind of man who stays in shape.
