We're about 4 weeks into the year. Most guys who started something new on January 1st are hitting a wall right now. The "New Year, New Me" energy is gone. The motivation has faded. The workouts that felt exciting in Week 1 now feel like obligations. Your body is sore. You're questioning if this is actually working. This is the moment 80% of guys quit. Where are you right now? - Started strong, now struggling? What changed? - Thinking about quitting? What's making you want to stop? Be honest. - Still going but not sure you're doing it right? What feels off? - Nailing it 4 weeks in? What's actually different about your approach? We don't back off as we get older. We get smarter. And you know what that means? If you're a guy who's been training smart for years, who's learned what actually works for a 40+ body, who's rebuilt yourself - you have something to teach. So here's the deal: New guys: Post your situation. Don't wait for me to answer. What's holding you back? Be specific. Experienced guys: Reply. You know what works. Share it. 2-3 sentences. You're not writing a thesis - you're answering a brother. The standards we're building here aren't just physical. They include showing up for each other. Post it below. No perfect answers. Just the truth.

Share your wins. Big, small, or quiet victories. Every rep, every streak, every habit you nailed counts. Celebrate your progress and encourage others - discipline grows when it’s visible.

Hi! I am using the HEVY app for tracking my workouts. Is anyone else using this and want to connect for accountability? Anyone using any other apps? I like Hevy because it is simple, has a great rest timer and a website you can set up your routines on which is easier than doing it on your phone! My Hevy username is doughenning (shocker lol)
