And even if maybe you're not going heavier on the weights, that strength starts to really, you know, old man strength is real.

My husband has the most phenomenal old man strength and that only comes from very well-trained muscle for a long time.

And we have data on this.

This is like, I used to just call it old man strength and it was this sort of myth, but it's true.

I mean, those muscle fibers really long-term, men who have been

strong and kept themselves strong and kept themselves physical in whatever capacity.

My husband hates the gym, by the way.

He loves being physical, like pulling tree roots out of the ground.

And that's how he deadlifts.

But it's true old man strength and muscles that fire together, wire together.

And it's this long standing wiring and firing of fibers and the central nervous system together that lead to this kind of strength.

All of a sudden that starts to wane.

And they're pretty aware, like he's real physical on the farm and he's very clear.

If he can't get a wrench to go or like something that he's used to doing pretty effortlessly, he's like, what's wrong with me?

I'm losing my strength.

And so I think it's important.

And I'll say the other thing, men, and this whole idea that you have to have a six pack is such nonsense.

Actually, and women too, carrying a little bit of belly fat on you, not like a gut, but a little bit of adiposity,

really leads to tremendous strength gains.

Like when I see guys that are very fit and they have a little layer of adipose, those guys are usually super strong.
