Old Man Strength vs Old Man Shredded
If you’re over 35, a busy dad, working professional, or parent trying to get fit after 40, the way you train matters more than ever.

Muscle mass declines 3–8% per decade after 30 without strength training.
Testosterone declines roughly 1% per year.
Nearly 50% of adults report chronic joint pain.

Training like you’re 22 won’t fix it.

That’s why we created:

Old Man Strength
Old Man Shredded

Both are built specifically for adults over 35, dads over 40, and anyone who wants to get strong and shredded without wrecking their joints.

What Is Old Man Strength?
Old Man Strength is a structured strength training program designed for durability, joint stability, and progressive overload.

Best For:
• Dads over 35
• Adults over 40 wanting strength first
• Fit after 50 athletes
• Anyone wanting muscle retention and longevity

Focus:
• Compound lifts
• Progressive overload
• Posterior chain
• Core stability
• Injury prevention

If your goal is to feel powerful, capable, and resilient — this is your route.

Old Man Strength vs Old Man Shredded: Which Is Better?
It depends on your primary goal.

Choose Old Man Strength if:
• You want durability
• You want to get stronger first
• You want joint resilience

Choose Old Man Shredded if:
• You want to lean out
• You want visible muscle
• You want conditioning improvements

Both programs help adults over 35:

• Build muscle
• Improve metabolism
• Increase energy
• Reduce injury risk
• Improve insulin sensitivity

Both roads lead to being strong and shredded.

The only difference is which dial you turn up first.

Fit After 40 and Fit After 50 Is Possible
Being over 35 does not mean decline.

It means you need:

• Smarter programming
• Better recovery
• Intentional progression
• Structured training

Old Man Strength and Old Man Shredded were built for busy adults with careers, kids, and real responsibilities.

No fluff.
No random workouts.
Just systems that work.

FAQ Section
Is Old Man Strength good for beginners over 40?

Yes. It’s structured with progressive overload and joint-friendly programming designed for adults over 35 and 40+.

Can I lose fat with Old Man Strength?

Yes. Increased muscle mass improves metabolism and supports fat loss.

Is Old Man Shredded only for advanced lifters?

No. It’s scalable for adults over 35, dads over 40, and anyone focused on fat loss and conditioning.

Which program is best for dads over 40?

If strength and durability are your priority, choose Old Man Strength.
If leaning out is your priority, choose Old Man Shredded.

Can adults over 50 do these programs?

Absolutely. Both programs are built with longevity and joint health in mind.

Final Thought
Most men do not lose their strength overnight.
They lose it quietly, year after year, by not training for it.

You rebuild it the same way.

One rep at a time.
One workout at a time.
One decision at a time.

And if you do, the second half of your life can be stronger than the first.

As always any questions just ask I am happy to answer.

Until next time eat well, train hard & be nice to people.

Fat loss is easy for busy adults once they realize how hard it is.
Let me explain what I mean.

Most parents think fat loss should be simple.

Eat better.
Move more.
Lose weight.

In theory, that sounds easy.

In real life?

You’re working.
You’re raising kids.
You’re managing schedules.
You’re exhausted by 7pm.

So food becomes whatever is fast.
Whatever is close.
Whatever requires the least effort.

And before you know it, you’re frustrated, stuck, and wondering why nothing works.

I see this every day at Jeremy Scott Fitness here in Scottsdale, especially with busy families in the 85260 area.

You care.
You’re trying.
You just need a plan that works in real life.

Why Most Busy Parents Struggle With Fat Loss
Most adults don’t fail because they’re lazy.

They fail because life is heavy.

Work deadlines.
School drop-offs.
Practice.
Meetings.
Emails.
Late nights.

So nutrition becomes an afterthought.

Fast food.
Snacking.
Leftovers.
Drive-thru dinners.

Over time, weight creeps up.
Energy drops.
Confidence fades.

And people start telling themselves:

“Maybe this is just what getting older feels like.”

It’s not.

It’s just what happens without structure.

The Jeremy Scott Fitness Approach to Fat Loss
At our Scottsdale gym and through our coaching programs, we focus on three things:

Simple meals
High protein
Consistency

Not perfection.
Not extremes.
Not suffering.

Just habits you can repeat when life is chaotic.

That’s what works long term.

3 Easy Fat Loss Meals for Busy Parents
These are real meals.
No weird ingredients.
No complicated prep.

Meal 1: Protein Breakfast Bowl

Eggs or egg whites
Turkey sausage or chicken sausage
Avocado
Fruit on the side

Approximate Macros
Protein: 35g
Carbs: 30g
Fat: 20g

Why it works
Keeps you full all morning and reduces snacking.

Meal 2: Chicken Power Bowl

Grilled chicken
Rice or quinoa
Roasted vegetables
Olive oil drizzle

Approximate Macros
Protein: 40g

Meal 3: Busy Night Taco Bowl

Lean ground turkey
Rice
Black beans
Salsa
Light cheese

Approximate Macros
Protein: 35g
Carbs: 40g
Fat: 12g

Why it works
Family-friendly and doesn’t feel like “diet food.”

Simple Grocery List for Fat Loss
Keep your kitchen stocked with this and healthy eating gets easier.

Proteins

Chicken breast
Lean ground turkey
Eggs or egg whites
Greek yogurt
Protein shakes

Carbs

Rice
Quinoa
Oats
Potatoes
Fruit
Black beans

Fats

Avocados
Olive oil
Nuts
Light cheese

Vegetables

Broccoli
Bell peppers
Spinach
Zucchini
Frozen mixed vegetables

This is your foundation.

3 Parent-Tested Fat Loss Tips That Actually Work
These are the same strategies I use as a dad and coach.

Create “Default Meals”

Have two or three meals you don’t have to think about.

When life gets crazy, you fall back on habits.

Make your habits healthy.

Eat Protein First

Every meal.
Every snack.

Protein controls hunger, protects muscle, and reduces cravings.

Start there.
Everything gets easier.

Don’t Diet Away From Your Family

Eat the same foods.

Change portions.

Same chicken.
Same rice.
Different amounts.

That’s sustainable.

Why This Works for Adults Over 30 and 40
As we get older:

Recovery slows
Stress increases
Sleep gets harder
Metabolism changes

That means crash diets stop working.

Consistency becomes everything.

This approach helps you:

Lose fat
Maintain muscle
Improve energy
Support long-term health

Without burning out.

If I had to strip training down to the bare minimum for lifelong health, strength, and mobility, this would be it.

You don’t need fancy machines.
You don’t need random workouts.
You don’t need endless variety.

What you do need are movement patterns that build real strength, protect your joints, and keep you capable as you age.

At Jeremy Scott Fitness, every effective long-term program is built around a small set of foundational movements. These are the exercises that carry over to real life, preserve independence, and support longevity.
Here are the 5 exercises every adult should be doing consistently for optimal health:

Squat (Any Variation You Can Do Well)

Squats are one of the most important movements for lifelong strength.
They build lower-body strength, protect your knees and hips, and translate directly to daily life standing up from chairs, climbing stairs, getting off the ground, and maintaining balance as you age.
Research consistently shows that lower-body strength is strongly correlated with longevity and independence, especially in adults over 40.

The key isn’t the type of squat it’s performing a variation you can do well and pain-free:

Bodyweight squat
Goblet squat
Box squat
Front or back squat (when appropriate)
Strong legs keep you mobile. Mobility keeps you independent.

Hinge (Deadlift, RDL, or Hip Hinge Pattern)
Hinge patterns train the glutes and hamstrings the engine of the human body.
A proper hinge:
Supports spinal health
Improves posture
Reduces risk of lower-back pain
Builds strength for lifting, carrying, and daily tasks

When done correctly, hinge movements teach your body how to produce force safely from the hips instead of the lower back a critical skill as we age.
This is one of the most protective patterns you can train for long-term health.

Push (Push-Ups, Presses, or Incline Pressing)
Pressing movements build:
Upper-body strength
Shoulder stability
Bone density
Resilience for everyday tasks

Consistent pushing also plays a role in maintaining bone density, which becomes increasingly important with age.

Pull (Rows, Pull-Ups, or Assisted Pulling)

Pulling movements are essential in a modern world where most adults:
Sit for long periods
Stare at screens
Develop forward-rounded posture
Rows and pull-ups help:
Balance the shoulders
Improve posture
Reduce neck and upper-back discomfort
Protect shoulder joints long term

Strong pulling muscles counteract the negative effects of sedentary lifestyles and help keep your upper body functioning well for decades.

Carry (Farmer Carries, Loaded Walks)
Carries are one of the most underrated tools in strength training.
They train:
Core stability
Grip strength
Posture
Conditioning
Real-world resilience

If you can pick something up and walk with it confidently, you’re training your body for life groceries, luggage, kids, and daily demands.

Carries integrate strength and conditioning better than almost any other exercise.

Why These Five Matter for Lifelong Health

If your training includes squats, hinges, pushes, pulls, and carries, you are covering nearly every major requirement for long-term health.

Strength training has been shown to:

Preserve muscle mass and metabolism as you age
Improve balance and coordination
Support joint health
Reduce risk of falls and injury
Lower risk of chronic disease
Improve confidence, energy, and quality of life

You don’t need endless variety.
You need the basics done well, consistently, over time.

Simple, Effective Training Beats Complicated Programs

Most adults struggle not because they lack motivation but because their training lacks structure.

When your program is built around these five movements:

Progress becomes measurable
Joints stay healthier
Strength builds sustainably
Results compound over time

If you can squat, hinge, push, pull, and carry you’re already ahead of most adults.

How This Fits Into the Old Man Shredded Program

These five movement patterns are the foundation of the Old Man Shredded Program a 10-week system designed for adults who want to: jeremyscottfitness.com/old-man-shredded

Get lean and visibly shredded
Build real, functional strength
Maintain mobility and joint health
Train efficiently without burning out

The program has already started, and you still have the next 10 weeks to train with structure, intent, and accountability.

20 Fitness Truths Busy Adults Over 40 Eventually Learn

If you’re over 40 and trying to stay in shape while balancing work, family, and real life responsibilities, you’ve probably realized something already:

Fitness after 40 looks very different than fitness in your 20s.

Your schedule is tighter.
Recovery matters more.
And random workouts without a plan simply don’t work anymore.

Most people eventually discover the same fitness truths after 40.

Usually the hard way.

Here are the 20 biggest lessons men and women over 40 eventually learn about strength, fat loss, and longevity training.

Full Podcast Episode with all 20 CLICK HERE - podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cost-of-optimal-…

We dive into .....

1. You Can’t Out-Train Bad Sleep
Sleep becomes one of the most important parts of your fitness routine.

Poor sleep negatively impacts:

• fat loss
• muscle recovery
• hormone balance
• energy levels

Busy adults who prioritize sleep almost always see better long-term results.

2. Mobility Is No Longer Optional
After 40, tight hips, stiff shoulders, and lower back discomfort become common.

Daily mobility work helps:

• improve movement quality
• reduce injury risk
• eliminate nagging pain

This is why we include mobility work inside our Micro-Dosing Mobility program inside the Jeremy Scott Fitness App.

You can try it here:
jeremyscottfitness.app/

3. Consistency Beats Intensity
You don’t need to train harder.

You need to train more consistently.

For most busy adults, 3–4 efficient workouts per week produces better results than extreme programs that are impossible to sustain.

4. Ego Lifting Eventually Catches Up
Heavy weights are great — but technique always matters more.

The goal after 40 is strength that lasts decades, not one workout.

For all 20 click here and listen to the full episode in detail.

If you’re a busy adult…or a new parent…

You know the feeling.

Your sleep is a little off.
Your schedule is unpredictable.
Your day gets hijacked by work, kids, life, and about 1,000 random things.

And the last thing you want to hear from some fitness influencer is:

“Just wake up at 4AM and train 6 days a week.”

Yeah… no thanks.

The truth is most adults don’t need more workouts.

They need smarter better more realistic ones.

That’s exactly why I built this program:

Busy But Built — The 2 Day Training Split

Two focused training days per week.

That’s it.

Because when workouts are designed properly, two great sessions can maintain or even build muscle, keep your metabolism strong, and help you stay lean.

The key is making those two days count.

For busy adults and parents, this is the real playbook:

1. Lift twice per week

Strength training is the biggest ROI for busy people.

It builds muscle, protects joints, boosts metabolism, and helps you stay strong as you age.

Two solid sessions done consistently beats the “start and stop” six-day plan every time.

2. Walk more than you think you need to

Most adults sit too much.

Aim for 8–12k steps per day when possible.

Walk the dog.
Push the stroller.
Take a quick loop around the block.

It adds up fast.

3. Eat mostly real food

Nothing fancy.

Just focus on:

• protein at every meal
• fruits and vegetables daily
• enough water
• less junk food that sneaks in when you're tired

You don’t need perfection.....You need consistency.

4. Sleep when you can

Parents know this one is tough.

But even improving sleep a little bit helps recovery, fat loss, and energy.

Small upgrades matter.

And when you combine those simple habits with two smart strength workouts each week, the results compound quickly.

That’s exactly what this program gives you.

A plan that actually fits real life.

You can try Busy But Built completely free for a week, along with my entire training app.

Grab access here:

my.playbookapp.io/jeremy-scott/programs/busy-but-b…

Because fitness shouldn’t feel like another job.

It should make your life better, stronger, and easier to handle.

And if you're a busy adult or parent trying to keep it together…

Just remember....

You don’t need to do everything.

You just need to do the right things consistently.

As always any questions just ask I am happy to answer.

Until next time eat well, train hard & be nice to people.

Stop Blaming Age. Start Blaming Inactivity.

“I’m just getting older. Of course I’m stiff.”

Truth? Age isn’t the main problem.

Research published in the Journal of Aging Research shows that loss of mobility is more strongly associated with inactivity than chronological age.

Translation:
It’s not your birthday.
It’s your chair.

If you sit 6–10 hours a day (which most working adults do), your hips tighten, thoracic spine stiffens, and shoulders start to feel like cement.


5–10 minutes of daily joint prep for hips, T-spine, and shoulders.

Small dose. Every day.
That’s how you win.

The Reality of Aging? Why Strength & Mobility Matter More Than Ever

Let me ask you something.

When was the last time you got tired because you were building something meaningful…
Not because you were stressed, distracted, and sitting all day?

We’re exhausted as adults.
But not from movement.
We’re tired from:
Screens
Stress
Sitting
Notifications
Work
Distraction

And here’s the part no one wants to say out loud:
The modern adult lifestyle is quietly weakening us.
And if you don’t intentionally fight back with strength and mobility — the ending is predictable.

Let’s look at the reality.
The average full-time American works 40–44 hours a week.
Many of you listening are closer to 45–50.

Add commute time.
Add family.
Add emails at night.
Now layer in this:
Most adults sit 7–10 hours per day.
Seven to ten hours.

That means:
Hips tighten
Glutes shut off
Thoracic spine stiffens
Neck rounds forward
Core weakens

Then you try to “get back into shape” by doing random workouts twice a week.
And you wonder why your back hurts.
You’re not broken.
You’re just sedentary.

I talk about all of this and much more on the latest episode of the JSF Podcast you can access it HERE 100% for free. - open.spotify.com/episode/2lAjUyJvRfqKrTAkjC5kXL?si…

You don’t wake up old. It happens slowly.
I’ve been coaching adults for over 20 years.

And I can tell you something most people don’t want to hear.

No one comes in and says, “I gave up on myself.”

They come in tired.
Stiff.
A little heavier than they expected.
Moving slower than they remember.

They say things like, “I used to be in great shape.”
Or, “I don’t know when this happened.”
Or, “I just feel off lately.”

And almost every time, the story is the same.

Life got busy.
Work got demanding.
Kids needed more.
Travel picked up.
Stress stayed high.

Training became inconsistent.
Then optional.
Then something they would get back to “when things settled down.”

They never do.

That’s how most adults get older.
Not all at once.
But quietly.

A little less strength each year.
A little less mobility.
A little more pain.
A little more fatigue.

Until one day they realize their body doesn’t feel like it belongs to them anymore.

What breaks my heart is this.....

Most of these people were never lazy.
They were never unmotivated.
They just didn’t have a plan that fit the life they were actually living.

That’s why we built the Jeremy Scott Fitness app.

Not as a backup.
Not as a watered down option.
But as a real solution for busy adults who travel, juggle family, work long hours, and still want to feel strong and capable in their body.

Inside the app you’ll find programs built from the same coaching principles we use in our Scottsdale gym.

Simple.
Structured.
Easy to start.
Designed to meet you where you are right now.

Short, effective workouts you can do anywhere.
Clear guidance so you’re not guessing.
Progressions that rebuild strength, mobility, and confidence over time.

This is for parents who don’t have an hour to waste.
For professionals who live out of a suitcase.
For adults who know they need to do something now, not six months from now.

If you’ve felt yourself getting stiffer, weaker, or more run down lately, that’s not a failure.

It’s a signal.

And the longer you ignore it, the harder it is to reverse.

That’s why I want to give you a free week inside the app.

No pressure.
No commitment.
Just a chance to start moving again with a plan that actually makes sense.

You don’t need to do everything.
You just need to start.

You can get your free week here
jeremyscottfitness.app/

This is how people get back on track.
Quietly.
Consistently.
One smart step at a time.

As always any questions just ask I am happy to answer.
