Unbalanced
I've discovered that my left calf (non-dominant) is smaller and weaker than my right calf. Any thoughts on how to address that while still maintaining my right calf? I regularly do weighted calf raises as well as sumo squats, wall sits and farmers walk.
What pulled you back in?
Let me ask you something honest. When you fell off before, and most of us have, what actually pulled you back? Not the advice. Not the motivation. Not the right video. What was the moment? Because I've noticed something with the guys who stick with this long-term: they all had a moment. A doctor visit. A photo. A morning where they couldn't do something they used to do without thinking. The discipline came after the decision. Not before. What pulled you back in?

Elevated blood pressure, pre diabetes
This Saturday
I'll be answering your questions on training, recovery, building muscle after 40, nutrition - whatever you're stuck on. Most men our age are getting generic advice built for 25-year-olds. This is a call where you get direct answers built for where you actually are. Drop your question below before Saturday and I'll make sure it gets covered. - Keith đź’Ş

I'm 69 in pretty good shape, at the gym 3-4 times a week. Doing quite a few of the exercises you recommend, low weight, high reps. The issue is my lower back gets sore if I'm doing tasks that require bending over for a period of time, e.g. gardening, chopping firewood, etc. What exercises do you recommend to help strengthen it? Thanks

Cheers, appreciate it
Still Training Like You're 25?
Most men over 40 are training like they're 25. Same ego. Same heavy loads. Same joints paying the price. The shift isn't about doing less. It's about training smarter than you ever have. Higher reps. Full control. Every rep deliberate. That's not backing off. That's upgrading your standard. A few of you are already inside the premium program, working through a training program built specifically for you. What's one thing you've changed about how you train since 40? Drop it below. 👇

Working more on functional fitness as opposed to bulking up. More isometric exercises, lower weights and focusing on core muscles e,g., calves, glutes, pulling and pushing exercises, as well as balance.
