Coach Paul is right, and this is exactly the kind of cultural messaging that quietly sabotages people in your demographic guys 40+ who could be in the best shape of their lives but are told it's "cringe" to try. The Ronaldo/Higuaín comparison is doing rhetorical work that falls apart under scrutiny. Higuaín isn't proof that "letting yourself go after a certain age" is normal or dignified he's proof that stopping all training after a career built on it leads to rapid decline. That's not aging. That's deconditioning. Ronaldo at 41 isn't a freak; he's what's possible when you don't quit. The "cringe" framing is the actual psyop. It reframes: Tracking your food → cringe Lifting heavy at 50 → cringe Posting your progress → cringe Caring about your physique past 35 → cringe Meanwhile, the actual cringe outcome — sarcopenia, T2 diabetes, frailty, dependence on your kids in your 60s — gets coded as "normal" and therefore acceptable. Normalize the bad outcome, stigmatize the work required to avoid it. That's the trick.

Coach Paul@CoachPauI

You will see this psyop in many different forms. DON’T fall for it. By definition you have to be “cringe” to make something of yourself. So-called “normal” people get normal outcomes: Fat or skinny fat. Surely YOU won’t let yourself be like this for another summer, right?

@stats_feed 16 years in clinical coaching and the answer is the same every time muscle loss. The way a person stands up from a chair tells you more about their biological age than the year on their license. Skin ages. Hair ages. But muscle is what makes someone look 60 at 45 or 50 at 70.

@ManOnThePen The bigger story isn't supply chain. It's that millions of patients went on these drugs without a resistance training protocol. Whether they stay on, switch to brand-name, or stop entirely they're all walking off with less muscle than they had. That's the real long-term cost.

🚨 MASSIVE REPORT: I am hearing through my network of patient groups that providers are starting to get contacted by state licensing boards and told to stop prescribing compounded GLP-1s immediately. Expect this to become a patchwork. Some providers stop, some don’t. Some states tighten, others lag. Patients get caught in the middle. $LLY $NVO $HIMS

The number nobody talks about. Studies show up to 40% of weight lost on GLP-1 medications is muscle not fat. The scale celebrates. Your metabolism doesn't. 16 years in clinical coaching and the pattern is clear: patients who lose weight without resistance training end up smaller, weaker, and metabolically worse off than when they started. Muscle is the shield. Train it.

16 years in clinical coaching has taught me one thing muscle doesn't care how old you are. It cares whether you load it. These two are proof the body responds at 89 and 91. The only question that matters is when you decide to start.

You dieted. You lost weight. Then your metabolism stopped cooperating. It's not willpower. It's biology. When you lose muscle during a diet, you dismantle the engine that burns calories at rest. And the body doesn't rebuild it on its own. The scale went down. Your metabolic rate went with it. Has this happened to you? #Over40Fitness #GLP1

@brettboettcher1 The average hospital stay costs adults over 65 up to 10% of their muscle mass in just one week of bed rest. Most never fully recover it. The system is designed to save your life in a crisis and slowly take your independence after.

Your doctor will prescribe you Ozempic at $50 a month. They won't prescribe the resistance training that prevents you from losing the muscle keeping you out of a wheelchair. One costs money. The other costs nothing. Guess which one they never mention. #GLP1 #Over40Fitness

@whoistife_x If you're over 40, stop chasing weight loss and start chasing strength. The scale lies to you every day. Your squat number never does. Resistance training 3x a week is the single best investment you can make in how you age.

Banning meat ads while an entire generation is under-eating protein and losing muscle at 1-2% per year after 40. Animal protein is one of the most bioavailable sources of the amino acids your body needs to maintain lean mass. The messaging is going in the exact wrong direction for an aging population.

$50 a month for the drug. $0 for the resistance training protocol that should come with it because it doesn't exist. Medicare patients are 65+. They're already losing muscle at 3% per year. Add a GLP-1 without strength training and you're accelerating the one thing that puts them in assisted living. The price is great. The plan is incomplete.

@BladeoftheS Doesn't matter if it's 2.5kg or 25kg. They're 89 and 91 and they showed up. That's more than most people half their age can say. The bar doesn't judge. Neither should you.

I love how they have made massive plates that are normally 20-25kg, and changed them to 2.5kg so it looks like they are lifting loads.

@micheal_ws18 Pull-ups. Not even close. After 40, grip strength is one of the strongest predictors of how long you live. If you can do a pull-up at 70, you're in the top 1% of your age group. Push-ups are great. Pull-ups keep you alive.

The deadlift is the most functional exercise that exists. Every time you pick up groceries, lift a grandchild, or get something off the floor that's a deadlift. After 40, the people who train this movement stay independent. The people who avoid it lose the ability to do it. That's not aging. That's detraining.

English

yosoymario@yosoymario91·13h

People love to say that deadlifting is a pointless, harmful, or even dangerous exercise. Yet all the older people I see are doing deadlifts with excellent form, and it has helped their lower back problems tremendously. I’m not saying you should max out on deadlifts all the time if you’re not a powerlifter. But picking something heavy up from the floor is a much more natural movement than squatting with a barbell on your back, yet people rarely complain about squats. You should absolutely include some form of deadlift in your training if you want a healthy, strong lower back (and glutes/hams)

Good list but the order matters. Lift weights should be number one by a mile. After 40, you lose 1-2% of muscle per year. Everything else on this list works better when you have the muscle to support it metabolism, protein utilization, hydration, even mental health. Muscle is the foundation. Build that first.

Non-negotiables after 40: - Lift weights - Limit alcohol - Stay hydrated - Move your body daily - Prioritize protein intake - Eat a nutrient-dense diet - Talk to yourself like a friend - Stay connected with friends and family

Up to 40% of weight lost on GLP-1 medications is muscle not fat. That means someone who loses 30 lbs on Ozempic could be losing 10-12 lbs of the tissue that controls their metabolism, protects their bones, and keeps them independent. The scale can't tell you the difference. A DEXA scan can. If you're on a GLP-1 and not strength training start this week. #GLP1 #Over40Fitness

@joeroganhq 16 years of coaching adults over 40 and this is exactly what I tell every one of them. The body doesn't have an expiration date. It has a use-it-or-lose-it switch. These women flipped it. The nursing home is full of people who never did.

English

Joe Rogan Podcast News@joeroganhq·21h

Stoked to see this becoming a thing. Not only will strength training make growing old more fun, it will slow it down, in a sense. As an older person, it keeps you independent, prevents falls, protects your bones, and even supports your brain.
