    The only people who say, "It's all downhill after X" are those who were already going downhill the decade before

    @prestonmcghee I'm 40. I've been working out consistently since I've been 15 and always pursuing different athletic goals and sports. It is 100% ingrained in my lifestyle. Once I hit my mid 30s, my metabolism slowed down, it took me longer to recover, I tend to get more tendon and ligament...

    Strength training vs running for fat loss?

    @pero Do cardio for heart and general health. Having endurance is awesome. But don't do it for weight loss. Especially when over 30, the best thing for weight loss is hypertrophy training and caloric deficit. If you do cardio in a deficit, you will burn and lose more muscle than fat. You will...

    if you had 4-5 hours a week to spend in the gym over 4 sessions, what would you do?

    @ampersand I use an app to help track my workouts, but it also has a rest timer. So as soon as I finish a set I enter my data and it starts a timer. 2 min for more compound lifts, 1-1:30 for isolation work.

    if you had 4-5 hours a week to spend in the gym over 4 sessions, what would you do?

    Busy parent here, as I'm sure many can relate to. I go to the gym 4x and run 2x per week. Currently do an upper/lower split at the gym, with one upper day a push bias and the other a pull bias, one leg day a quad bias and the other a glute and ham bias. With warm up and a bit of a stretch or a...

    Why don't men hire health coaches as much as women?

    @gm0nkx I think a lot of men do, maybe your marketing is off a bit if it's not attracting the right kinds of clients? As I said, most men are taught to figure stuff out on their own. That's a really hard habit to break. Also a lot of men see seeking help as a weakness. Then again there are...

    Why don't men hire health coaches as much as women?

    @gm0nkx I hired a health coach/nutritionist a few years ago. The problem was from ages 15-32 I was heavily involved in endurance sports and had an insane metabolism. Once I stopped training for long distance triathlons due to family and work etc, I just had this totally unrealistic relationship...
