This clip is going viral in Brazil right now. A guy died after bench pressing with a suicide (thumbless) grip. The bar slipped, fell onto his chest and that was it. Looks like it was around 70kg/154 lbs. NEVER bench with a suicide grip. If you train alone, use a normal grip and stay away from failure. Or just use machines. One bad rep is all it takes to have a catastrophic injury or end your life.

It’s been said that 95% of adults over 30 will probably never sprint again. And I understand why. Most guys try it once after years of only lifting weights and then something snaps. They tweak a hamstring, flare up an old knee injury, or strain a calf. And decide, "My body just can’t do this anymore.” But that’s not true. Your body just lost the qualities required to sprint safely. Power Mobility Coordination Tissue tolerance. Tendon stiffness The solution isn’t avoiding sprinting. The solution is rebuilding your capacity in a gradual way. At 49, this is how I approach sprinting now: 1. Mobility before every session 2. Plyometrics before speed work 3. Short hill accelerations first 4. Low volume at first 5. Long rest periods 6. Lift weights consistently 7. Progress slowly The goal isn’t exhaustion. It's to reclaim your athleticism. Because sprinting isn’t just an exercise. It’s one of the most powerful signals of youth, power and resilience your body can express. If you feel like your athletic days are behind you, they aren’t. You just need a better plan. DM me “SPRINT” if you’re a successful man over 40 who wants expert help rebuilding without getting hurt.

If you ever feel stupid, remember that some guys are still using BOSU ball squats to build leg strength.

Push-ups get dismissed as “too easy” because most people never load them properly. If you’re doing sets of 30–50 reps, you’re not building as much strength or muscle as you think. Progression matters. Here’s how I scale the load on push-ups without machines or a weighted vest: • Start with standard push-ups • Elevate the feet to shift more load to the upper body • Add bands to increase resistance • Use rings to increase range of motion I didn't show it, but you can also elevate you feet while doing the ring push-ups to add more load as a 5th progression. Every step increases mechanical tension—which is the real driver of muscle growth. Stop repping out on push-ups. Start adding load...and enjoy the growth.

One of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, Georges St-Pierre, made a point on Lex Fridman’s podcast that most guys miss. Early in his career, he trained like a bodybuilder because that’s what we thought fighters should do. He grew up, like I did, watching Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Later, he realized combat sports reward efficiency, skill and energy management over pure strength or muscle mass. Today, he still lifts. But mostly for longevity, not performance. That distinction matters. Lifting is great. You should do it at least twice a week. But beyond that, you have to ask yourself what you're training for. Because if longevity is your goal and you're lifting 5-6 times a week but haven't done cardio since college, then you're missing out on lower sympathetic tone and a stronger cardiovascular system. Strength is a tool. Cardio is a tool. Skill is a tool. The mistake is turning one tool into an identity. Instead, understand what your goals are and use the right tool for the right job.

One of the biggest mistakes I made in my 20s and 30s? Treating warm-ups like they didn’t matter. I thought, “If I’m not lifting yet, I’m wasting time.” That mindset cost me. At 49, I look at training completely differently. Because the goal isn’t just getting through today’s workout. The goal is being able to train hard for YEARS without constantly getting hurt. Because injuries not only cost you progress, they mess with your mind. That’s why warm-ups matter. Especially after 40. You need to prepare your muscles, joints, tendons, and nervous system for explosive movement and heavy loading. And static stretching isn’t the answer. That’s why I prefer active mobility + athletic prep work like this: • Hip Flexor Stretch - 10 reps/side • Adductor Rock - 10 reps/side • Hamstring Stretch - 10 reps/side • World’s Greatest Stretch - 10 reps/side Then: • Jump Rope - 1–2 minutes • Lateral Bounds - 1–2 sets of 5 reps/side • Box Jumps - 1–2 sets of 5 reps This combination helps: • Improve mobility • Build athleticism • Reduce injury risk • Prime your nervous system • Help you feel faster & more explosive Most guys over 40 don’t need to stop training hard. They just need smarter preparation and better programming. That’s the difference. Are you a high-performing man over 40 who wants to build a body that stays athletic, powerful, and resilient? DM me “STRONG” and let's talk.

Why people think men do BJJ: • Be tough • Win street fights • Dominate others Why men actually do BJJ: • Avoid loneliness • Cheaper than therapy • Cardio disguised as survival • A reason to leave the house • Something to do other than drinking
