💪 BENEFITS OF STRENGTH TRAINING FOR MEN OVER 40
You know you’re over 40 when standing up sounds like a percussion solo from some dodgy 80’s rock band wearing snakeskin.
The fix? Stop moaning about your knees and start picking up some weights.
Once you hit your 40’s, strength training isn’t just for show… it’s survival training.
Here’s why you should be chucking some heavy s**t about:
☑️ Slows down that “dad bod by default” muscle loss
☑️ Fires up your metabolism (yes, that’s why your mate can still eat pizza and not grow a spare tyre)
☑️ Builds stronger bones — think less “creaky” and more “solid oak”
☑️ Keeps you moving well, so you can still outpace the kids (or at least the dog)
☑️ Boosts mood and mental health — because lifting heavy stuff is cheaper than therapy
☑️ Supports heart health and lowers risk of diabetes and arthritis
☑️ More energy, less joint pain, and you just feel like you again
So basically — get yourself in the gym, pick heavy things up, put them down again… repeat.
Simple formula. Big results.
