Hi Keith, what do you think about pre-workout powder? Does it really help?

Here is the difference. First one was last week. Second pic was may of 2025

Does anyone have any ideas for cardio when you have bad knees? I have bilateral meniscal tears so running is out. I can power walk that’s one thing.

I’m 62 187 lbs 6ft. When I ride my bike uphills my hart rate will go to 180 bpm for a very short period depending on my exertion, it doesn’t feel bad is it the same for others?

Most men over 40 are sabotaging their training and they don't even know it. Not in the gym. Outside of it. You can train perfectly five days a week. Right weight, right form, right mind-muscle connection. But if you're going to bed at midnight, eating junk between meals, and running on stress with no outlet, you are working against yourself every single session. Recovery is where the muscle gets built. The gym is just the stimulus. I protect my sleep like it's a business asset. Phone down early. Eyes covered. Mouth taped. I look ridiculous, and I wake up recovered. That's the trade I'll take every time. I cut out the seed oils, the alcohol, the processed junk. Not because I'm obsessed with being perfect. Because I know exactly what those things do to my recovery, my inflammation, and my hormones. The data doesn't lie. You want to know why some men in their 50s and 60s look and move better than guys in their 30s? It's not genetics. It's what they do between workouts. The gym is 20% of this. The other 80% is how you live. What's the one thing outside the gym you know you need to fix but keep putting off? Drop it below. 👇
