MEN, in your 40s, 50s or 60s? and questioning WHY you have to spend hours in the gym every week?

3 sessions maybe 4 at an hour each plus you like to play golf, ride a motorcycle or just hike in the mountains.

Are those sessions in the gym leaving you feeling tired, exhausted, depleted?

I mean you love to exercise right? But somehow as you grew older it got so much harder to recover.

Now you’re just ramping up your cortisol levels and wearing down your joints, that’s if you haven’t already from years of exercise and sports etc

I can’t begin to explain how you can negatively affect your Testosterone levels and all other manner of hormones.

There really is such a thing as a male version of in that it’s age related hormonal change called

Well let me tell you, after many years I finally realised the mistakes we are making and how the media marketing creates a one sided view of what we need to do in order to loose weight, tone up and get really strong.

I mean how many trainers do you see aged 50+, a few but not many. I was one though 😁

We’ve known about better training practices for a very long time. It’s all documented by Sports Scientists that worked out you can save over half the time you spend on EXERCISE and get exactly the same RESULTS.

As we age it is just so much more difficult to recover from hard weightraining sessions.

Too much volume of Exercise really can impact the older man and put him off training altogether.

So why not look at your options?

20-30 mins twice a week?

Don’t be fooled into thinking you need more.

And don’t be fooled into thinking you don’t need to exercise with great intensity.

Honestly It’s taken me 50 years to realise how we have to adapt, the last 20 years of which are in a professional capacity as a Trainer and Exercise Rehabilitation Therapist amongst others.

Once you learn the Principles and the Method you’ll have it forever.

Just Get in touch if you are intrigued and I’ll send you some info.

One of these will build muscle and strength. It will change your life in so many ways. It is the best way to reversing ageing and to creating a toned healthy physique at any age in any condition. And actually you don’t even need to put weights on your back there’s much safer options but you get the idea.

One of these is a fun recreational activity that will not build anything other than high cortisol levels 😂 but hey it’s fun and you get to suffer with others 😂 but also it is an amazing way to waste an hour of your precious time, loose some money and feel tired and hungry.

You fed up with the time wasting, painful exercise programs that just aren’t hitting the mark?

Are you done with 3 or more hours a week in a gym working your butt off and eating chicken and broccoli for 12 weeks to get a photo and then go straight back to it.

🤷🏼‍♂️ I feel your pain I’ve been involved in exercise for 50 years, been there seen it done it 👊🏼

I guarantee you will be blown away by using the principles of HIT in my MAX EFFORT TRAINING METHOD.

It’s nothing new but it’s so efficient and effective that it would shut down mainstream training if there wasn’t already so much money invested.

Message me if you want to change your life around and give it a trial.

Do you have what it takes?

Each exercise is a Meditation of Concentration.

Being mindful in the present & being in tune with mind & body to create the environment needed to adapt.

If you concentrate and push yourself past your limits you will achieve the body you desire.

There is no need to keep jumping on an exercise and pumping out reps whilst eyeing yourself in a mirror.

Just one all out set with as much intensity as you can muster will do the job more safely and more efficiently.

Save time, save your joints & save your sanity.

If you want to know more about my MAX EFFORT TRAINING SYSTEM comment below or PM for details.

you’ll be in for a real treat 👌🏼

Fancy exercise methods will not do anything for you Vs Specific Training in whatever discipline you compete in against others or yourself.

Fancy style of off balance strengthening and utilising bands and bags and the like are a pointless waste of one’s energy and time.

Anything that slightly resembles your chosen thing will actually be detrimental to building your skills.

Example: doing football/soccer drills with a smaller ball like a tennis ball.
Whilst you may think it would make you better able to use a normal sized ball because for instance a tennis ball is smaller and more difficult to manage you are actually training yourself out of using a normal sized ball.

Or how about using a resistance band to train punching power 🚫

A parasail device to sprint faster ❌

I’ve been involved in exercise, fitness and rehabilitation for 50 years now and I’ve uncovered all the bullsh¥t information that’s costing people career ending injuries and age related damage along with countless wasted hours on pseudo gym bro science based training programs.

Want skill? Practice your discipline
Want to improve your skill? Do an efficient based resistance program that will increase muscle tone and make you move faster and with more power/strength.
*Hint: to build power don’t train power moves, your wasting your time unless you are an Olympic lifter or your discipline is based something around this like in kettlebell sports but this is a different story.

Worst of all is the scores of young men/women I see being broken and battered doing ridiculous exercise, built on the egos of their coaches and trainers. The injuries are ridiculously high and no one is ACCOUNTABLE!

Most trainers just do not realise the folly of their ways, funny thing is most have suffered horrendous juries, just ask them.

Well learn from my generation’s mistakes and grow older without a smashed up body needing requiring hip and knee replacements, bone on bone arthritis, spinal/concussion injuries, restricted movement in joints throughout the body, the list is endless.

💪 Breaking the “3-Set Rule” Myth in Training 💡

Have you ever wondered why three sets are the golden rule in training? Maybe even 5 sets? It’s a classic case of a self-fulfilling tautology:

1️⃣ “Everybody does three sets because it’s the best way to train.”
2️⃣ “Since everyone does it, it must be the best.”

But is that really true? 🤔

In the 1990s, Mike Mentzer, a former Mr. Universe, challenged this idea with the concepts of High Intensity Training taught to him by Arthur Jones. He proved that one set to failure could grow muscle just as effectively, and yet, bodybuilding magazines undermined his argument by showcasing massive bodybuilders who followed high-volume programs.

The headline? “Is everyone really wrong?”

This kind of reasoning persists in fitness debates:
➡️ Many argue that multi-set training is superior simply because it’s popular. But remember, popularity doesn’t equal proof. For decades, people believed the sun revolved around the Earth, but that didn’t make it true! 🌍☀️ this concept is still highly challenged today.

The reality is that the “3-set norm” wasn’t based on science—it was just a comfortable number with cultural significance. So, don’t let tradition dictate your progress. Experiment, find what works for you, and remember: what’s best isn’t always what’s popular. 🚀
