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.

My diet throughout the day is good i seem to do really well until the evening. Throughout the evening is my downfall i snack quiet a bit whether its boredom im a little unsure but once im home and relaxed im am up and down to the kitchen. ( Bit of a cookie monster) Any advice on ways to minimise this? Or any healthy snacks i can try instead.

Your body doesn't respond to intensity anymore the way it did at 25. Pushing harder doesn't equal better results. It just means longer recovery, beat-up joints, and spinning your wheels. The guys making progress after 40? They're not training harder. They're training smarter. Lower weight, higher control. Fewer sessions, better recovery. Less ego, more results. It's a complete mindset shift from what got you here. What took you the longest to accept about training after 40? Would love to hear your guys' discoveries/realizations training past 40.
