Yesterday a guy at the gym asked me what I do for my shoulders. I thought about it for a second and told him: “Overhead presses and lateral raises.”
As I walked away, it hit me: I’m not doing anything special. There’s no secret exercise. Just the basics, done with effort, over and over again.
That’s what really builds muscle after 40 (or at any age). Sure, some exercises might give you a slightly better stretch, or a slightly better contraction...but at the end of the day, it’s about picking a few solid movements (that you enjoy doing) and showing up consistently.
That’s also the philosophy behind Full Body 40, my latest free training program for men over 40.
Whether you train 2 days a week or 5, it gives you a clear plan built on the basics that actually work.
After 17 years, we finally crossed 1,000,000 subscribers.
There’s a story behind this journey...one that I hope to share with you all someday if you’d like to hear it.
For now, I just want to say thank you. Your support over the years has meant more than I can put into words.
As a small token of my appreciation, I’ve put together something brand new for you: Full Body 40.
Inside, you’ll find complete programs ranging from as little as 2 days per week to as many as 5, designed to fit any schedule. And it’s completely free.
After almost 17 years of showing up and building brick by brick, this channel just hit 1,000,000 subscribers. When I first picked up a camera in that tiny apartment all those years ago, I never imagined we’d get here.
I can’t put into words how grateful I am. Every single view, like, comment, and share has fueled this journey. You guys stuck with me through the highs and lows, and you’re the reason I never gave up.
This milestone isn’t just mine...it’s ours.
From the bottom of my heart: thank you. Thank you for trusting me, for letting me be a part of your fitness journey, and for building this community with me.
And we’re just getting started. I’ve got something special planned to celebrate this milestone, so stay tuned. On top of that, I’ve also been working on something pretty awesome for you guys behind the scenes. It’s completely free, and it’ll be ready very soon.
This is just the beginning. Let’s keep pushing forward together.
Men Over 40: If you’re trying to lose fat the right way, don’t miss my latest video.
I walk you through the exact plan I’d follow if I were starting at 30% body fat and wanted to get down to 10% — while still building muscle along the way.
Men Over 40: It's Time to Level Up, Not Slow Down! 💪
Despite what you’ve been told, your body is still capable of building muscle and strength just like it did in your 20s.
The key? A smarter, more strategic approach.
That’s why I created MASS-40 – a 6-week training guide designed specifically for men over 40 who want to pack on serious muscle in the shortest time possible.
🔥 And I want to give you a FREE copy! 🔥

So many men have excuses about why they can’t commit.
They’re too busy with work, family, or other obligations.
They say they’ll start when things “slow down” or when life gets less hectic. But the truth is… life never really slows down. There will always be something competing for your time.
And for most men, fitness is just a "nice to have," not a real priority.
The problem with this mindset is that it only leads in one direction—downhill. If you don’t make your health a priority now, it’s only going to get harder.
Muscle loss, weight gain, lower energy, joint pain—it all creeps up faster than you think.
The men who stay in shape aren’t the ones with the most free time; they’re the ones who refuse to let excuses dictate their future.
At some point, you have to decide if you want to take control or keep telling yourself the same story. The longer you wait, the worse it gets. But if you shift your mindset and commit, even in the middle of a busy life, the results will compound in your favor. It’s not about having time—it’s about making time.
