So very much appreciated. Thank you. Okay.
All right. It's my challenge. Boys, psychopenia is a bitch. You guys are in your mid-40s, so you'd start to feel the effects just a little bit, but you could put it off as, you know, didn't get enough carbs the last 24 hours or something like that. But when you get to your early and mid-60s, trust me, boys, she becomes a vengeful bitch.

And that's the core of my challenge or my question or my problem. Anyway, let me set up a framework for you. I'm 66, I'll be 67 next month. I picked up my first weights when I was 16 years old. And really, I haven't looked back since. Mind you, back in those days, I came from a very, very poor sort of background. My mum was a single mum. It was only me and my brother.

And no money for anything other than food and a roof over our heads. So I had to be quite, what's the word? Probably creative. in terms of my first sort of gear that I created in the early 70s. So what I did was I made a bench out of an old bedhead. So it was an old wooden bedhead. I cut it out. I used pillows for the base and I just strapped it all down. Wow.

For my weight stands, I used, well, I reappropriated. Maybe there's a better word than that. a couple of stop signs from our local council. Hopefully they won't be listening. And I cut off the stop signs and I just cut a slight. And that was my weight. That was my weight set up for five or six years. But anyway, it just shows you if you're committed, you can do it no matter what.

All right, since then I've lived a life. I'm still married after 44 years to my gorgeous wife. I've raised three beautiful, successful children, and I'm now a nonno. And, Sal, you'll appreciate this. Both myself and my wife are of Italian heritage. I'm Sicilian. My wife comes from the north of Italy, a little place called Belluno, north of Venice.

So we constantly have debates on what being Italian really is because we're so far apart. Anyway, through all these chapters of life, I've kept passionate to my weight training, all being the varying degrees of motivation and availability. Life gets in the way sometimes. And I've had my own set up in the garage here for about 30 odd years. So I've got no excuses. All right, fundamentals.

I've been weight training 50 years. I weigh 78 kilos, which is about 172 pounds. I'm 175 centimetres tall, which is about 5 foot 9, but I'm shrinking. Another beautiful aspect of getting older. 27% body fat, according to my scale this morning. I average about 2,500, 2,600 calories a day. Always prioritise my protein. I get about 160 to 180 grams a day.
