Built Different Premium Is Here
The men getting the best results in this community have one thing in common… they stopped winging it. They're following a structured system built specifically for men over 40. Not some generic program designed for 25-year-olds chasing ego lifts. A complete, methodical approach that builds real muscle, strips fat, and keeps your joints healthy for the long haul. That's what Built Different Premium is. Here's what you get: ✅ Full Built Different Training System — 10+ complete programs for building muscle, losing fat, and training smarter after 40. Free members get 3-4. Premium members get everything. ✅ Monthly Live Coaching Calls — Group sessions with me starting March. Deep-dive Q&A, form checks, direct accountability. Completely hidden from free members. ✅ New Exclusive Content Every Week — Advanced training protocols, nutrition strategies, and techniques you won't find anywhere else. Premium-only. Every week. ✅ Direct 1:1 Access to Me — Message me personally for form checks, programming questions, and guidance specific to your situation. ✅ Form Check Video Reviews — Send me footage of your lifts and I'll review them directly.

Drop the barbell.
I know that's not what you want to hear. But time and time again I see men over 40 walking into the gym, loading up the barbell, and wondering why their shoulders are shot and their chest isn't growing. Here's the truth, most men doing barbell press aren't even hitting their chest properly. They're squirming around, engaging their back, using momentum. Who cares how much you bench? If the muscle isn't contracting, the weight means nothing. Switch to dumbbells. Lower the ego, raise the control. Incline the bench to about 25-30 degrees, not too high or you're just pressing with your delts. Start light and walk the rack. Focus on the stretch at the bottom, the contraction at the top, and control the weight on the way down just as much as the way up. That's where the growth is. Not in the number on the weight. In the connection between your mind and the muscle you're actually trying to build. I've been training for over 40 years. My chest is in better shape now than it was at 40. Not because I go heavy, because I go intentional. Are you still doing barbell press, or have you made the switch to dumbbells, and what difference did you notice when you did? Drop it below. 👇
B Stance RDL
Any opinion on B stance RDL vs normal dumbbell RDL? What is preferable? I started doing it but it feels still a bit weird. It should be better for the lower back. What is the opinion of the community?
