If you're over the age of 30, and you're not lifting regularly, with intensity, you're slowly dying.
After 30, sarcopenia (muscle loss) kicks in, and you lose 5% of the muscle you have each decade that passes.
After 60, that number jumps to 12%.
When you run the numbers, it's terrifying...
Let's say you're 25 years old and you lift regularly.
You weigh 180 pounds and you're 15% body fat (not shredded, but lean and healthy).
This means you have ~27 pounds of fat and 153 pounds of fat-free mass on your body.
That's pretty solid. You look good. You feel good. Everything is on track...
But when you hit 30, life smacks you in the face. You're married with a kid. Your career is taking off. And now you don't have time for fitness.
So you stop lifting... you have other "priorities".
Fast forward 40 years.
You're 70.
And you STILL weigh 180.
Awesome, right? You didn't gain weight like most people do!
You feel pretty good about yourself!
But... your body composition is DRASTICALLY different. Doesn't matter if you still weigh 180. You're now skinny fat, and dangerously unhealthy...
Let's run the numbers.
Remember... you hit 30, and you lose 5% of muscle each decade, and when you're 60, that number jumps to 12%...
At age 30, you're 180 and 15% body fat.
This means, you have:
- 153 pounds of muscle
- 27 pounds of body fat
You then lose 5% of your muscle mass in the next decade.
At age 40, you're 180 pounds... but you've lost 8 pounds of muscle (153 x .05 ~ 8)
This means, at age 40, you are 180 pounds still...
BUT you now have:
- 145 pounds of muscle
- 35 pounds of body fat
Now, you're 19% body fat, and trending in the WRONG direction...
This is what being sedentary does to your body over time. Fast forward 10 more years...
You've lost another 5% of your muscle (7 more pounds).
You're 50 years old and STILL 180 pounds.
But you have:
- 138 pounds of muscle
- 42 pounds of body fat
And you're 23% body fat. Now, you're no longer in the healthy range, and you likely have metabolic issues...
10 more years go by... now you're 60... and remember this is WITHOUT gaining ANY weight...
You lose another 5% of muscle (7 more pounds)...
Now you have:
- 131 pounds of muscle
- 49 pounds of body fat
And you're 27% body fat. YIKES. You likely have high blood sugar and are diabetic by now.
But here's where it really gets wild... At age 60, the 5% jumps to 12%...
You lose 12% of your muscle over the next 10 years...
12% of 131 = a whopping 17 pounds of muscle lost in the next decade.
And that once strapping 25 year old is morbidly obese. Even though he weighs the exact same amount he did when he was 30.
You are now:
- 70 years old
- 180 pounds
- 114 pounds of muscle
- 65 pounds of body fat
And you're 36% body fat. Morbidly obese.
Most people end up gaining weight over time as well.
Let's say you gain a "modest" 20 pounds over that time frame. That's really not much, by societal standards... you likely wouldn't even be considered "fat".
With 20 extra pounds of body fat, and the subsequent muscle loss, you're looking at...
- 70 years old
- 200 pounds
- 115 pounds of muscle
- 85 POUNDS OF BODY FAT
You're 43% body fat. Your quality of life is compromised. You have mobility issues. You're full diabetic with a high heart rate + blood pressure. Y
All because you were too lazy to lift.
The good news is the fix is simple.
Not "easy". But simple.
The way you combat sacropenia (muscle loss) is 3 fold:
1. Strength train 3-5 times per week in a full body format
2. Eat ample protein to ensure muscle growth and retention
3. Get your calories in line to ensure you don't gain any excess body fat (and get lean as well)
If you need some free training programs (or diet programs, recipe guides, etc), you can check the link in my bio if you wish.
But you need to LIFT.
Everyone needs to lift.
It's literally the #1 way for you to live a long, healthy, and active life.

When the low-carb cult yells "cArBs MaKe YoU fAt", they're usually talking about foods that just as much FAT in them as carbs...
Here are 5 "CARBS" that you can't actually call "carbs" due to their fat content (and the REAL carb sources you should eat instead):
1. Ice Cream
Getting older is not an excuse to let your health slip. It's the main reason not to.

Just start.
Start slow if you have to. Start small if you have to. Start privately if you have to.
Just start.

Vacation season is almost here!
One of the most common questions I get from clients is how to not screw everything up while sipping their Mai-Tais on the beach.
Here's what I always tell them...

If you're a Dad, spending time in the gym building your body isn't selfish.
But being apathetic, lazy, and neglecting your health is.
The time you spend getting your health in order today will come back tenfold in your later years.
And your children will appreciate it.
