Stop calling it "old age"—it’s just rust. 🧱💪

If you’ve spent the last decade neglecting your body, sleep, and nutrition, you aren't broken; you’re just undertrained.

The goal isn't to look "jacked." It's to stay strong enough to keep doing everything you love.

I’m tracking my own rebuild with my app, Pump It Better. Join me. Let’s trade "weak" for "capable."

Take that Cult of Youth! You who write off your elders as ignorant, frail and infirm, shake your heads and look around you. Strong capable elders are everywhere.

Record-smashing powerlifter, 68, says she lives for the 'clang' of the weights

On Thursday morning, 68-year-old Mava Brydges put the weight of a household refrigerator onto her back, lowered herself toward the floor and then stood up again.

Her 132.5-kilogram squat at the Canadian Powerlifting National Championships in St. John's, N.L., was five kilograms shy of the national record for her age and weight class, which she set herself in 2022.

In the next few hours, she set two new records, finishing the morning by hoisting a 140-kilogram barbell off the ground as a crowd of gobsmacked fans cheered and shouted her name.

"This is my sport that I love," Brydges said minutes after her final lift, her eyes filling with tears. "It's an amazing feeling to be able to do what I do at this age."

The Importance of Training Intensity while Dieting 📊

Training intensity during a diet is one of the biggest tools for protecting the muscle you already built.

👉 It tells the body to keep muscle

👉 It preserves strength during a fat loss phase

👉 It keeps the hypertrophy signal strong

👉 It improves body composition, not just weight loss

🏋️ The EZ bar standing bicep curl is a great arm-building exercise because it blends biceps tension, wrist comfort, and overload potential into one movement.

👉 It targets the biceps well for growth

👉 The angled grip is easier on the wrists
