Some of you are in a dark place right now… not “I’m stressed” dark. Proper dark. The kind where you go quiet, hope fades, and that heavy ache in your chest becomes unbearable. Men don’t always break loudly. We break in silence. In the car. In the shower. At 2AM staring at the ceiling. And that’s when guys do stupid things… permanent things… not because they’re weak, but because they’ve been carrying too much for too long. I’m not here to give you fluffy advice. I’m here to give you truth. Two ropes saved me more than once: my faith (not sermons… a lifeline) and training hard until life shuts up for an hour. If you’re in that storm right now, don’t isolate. Don’t quit. Grab a rope, my maat… and start climbing.
LOW TESTOSTERONE IS WHY YOU’RE WEAK, QUIET, AND EASY TO PROGRAM.
Low T makes men easy to control — and most of you don’t even notice. You think you’re just “tired”. You think it’s “stress”. You think it’s “age”. No, broer. A lot of men today are walking around underpowered, flat, soft, moody, anxious, and unmotivated… and calling it normal. They’ve got no drive, no edge, no backbone — just coping and scrolling, surviving and settling. And the worst part? They don’t even realise they’ve been domesticated. Testosterone isn’t just about sex. It’s about presence. Confidence. Hunger. Discipline. The ability to take pressure and still move forward. When that drops, men don’t become “nice”… they become manageable. I’m not here to motivate you. I’m here to wake you up. Because there’s a massive difference between a man who leads his life… and a man who gets dragged through it. And if you’re serious about fixing it — properly — I can help.
From “Too Late” to Unstoppable: The 6-Month Comeback Plan for Men Over 40 (Built by a 60+ Coach Who’s Still Doing It)
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.
Starting the 3-month Building Phase
Returned today to gym after a 10-day break with wife and kid. Lazying around doing nothing and ate lots of chocolate! Visited Pearly Beach and a warm water Spa in the mountains - good family bonding time. But back to business and now I start with my 3-month building phase. Meaning, fewer reps per set … Continue reading Starting the 3-month Building Phase
