New as of Sept. 29th. Turning 50 in early December. I’m looking to be overall healthier and build muscle mass over the next few years to help me in my late 50’s/early 60’s. I currently have zero joint or back pain. A year ago my doctor told me that I am very healthy for someone my age with no reals signs of anything bad. I want to keep that going!

Some basic stuff for now to get my body used to being in shape. Core stuff as I also look to lose about 10-15 lbs of unhealth. My goal is to be “that” old guy at the gym who is in shape and is noticeably on the verge of being jacked
Your Daily Training Check-In (Post on the Timeline)
From now on, whenever you train, make your own post here in the timeline. Posting here keeps the community alive, and it pushes you to show up consistently. Don't be afraid to ask questions, we are here to help and support each other. Keep it simple: - Photo/clip of your form - What you trained today - Win or struggle 👉 Goal: Post after every workout. Doesn’t need to be fancy, even a sweaty selfie or “today: squats + presses” counts.

Started at the gym a week ago! Today is my 4th visit. Went to bed early to get up early. Core stuff today!
Sunlight Is the Source Code of Human Health (Must Read)
Walk outside on a bright morning and let the sun hit your skin. You’ll notice something instantly, your body wakes up in a way no coffee or pill can match. There’s a reason for that. For millions of years, sunlight was the master signal that guided human health. Every hormone, every clock in your body, every rhythm of wake and sleep was set by it. Modern man lives in boxes. We wake up in a dark room, step into a car, sit in an office under artificial light, stare at blue screens all day, then go home and wind down with a glowing TV. We might swallow a vitamin D pill or a melatonin capsule and call it “health.” But this is a tragic downgrade compared to how men lived for 99% of human history. Our ancestors rose with the sun, worked under its full spectrum of light, and rested when it set. Their bodies weren’t confused about when to be awake or when to sleep. Their hormones weren’t blunted. Their moods weren’t flatlined. They didn’t need supplements, because they lived plugged into the original source code of health (code our body follows for thousands of years): the Sun. Sunlight gives you the whole picture. When the morning light hits your eyes, special receptors send a message straight to your brain: it’s time to be awake. Cortisol rises naturally, metabolism switches on, and testosterone production gets its daily cue. Midday, the UVB rays strike your skin and convert cholesterol into vitamin D, the raw material your body uses to strengthen bones, support immunity, and maintain healthy testosterone levels. At the same time, UVA rays release nitric oxide stored in your skin, opening blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, and improving circulation. Then, as the day ends, the low red and infrared light of sunset calms your nervous system, penetrates deep into your tissues, and sets you up for deep, restorative sleep. This is the orchestra of health. A supplement can only ever play one instrument. Men with regular sun exposure consistently show stronger testosterone levels, not just because of vitamin D, but because their circadian rhythm, the daily hormonal pulse — is aligned with the light–dark cycle our bodies were built on. When that rhythm drifts, testosterone release becomes weaker and flatter. That’s why a man who trains outside, lifts in the sun, and respects his body clock often feels more powerful than the guy relying on pills and pre-workouts.

I first heard about these concepts on Huberman’s podcast. Found it fascinating, but have tried to implement it. I’ve cound it to be very true!
