This is not a book for influencers. It’s for men over 40 who’ve looked in the mirror, felt the slow creep of physical decline, and decided they’re not going out quietly. "Smaller, Weaker, Slower" cuts through the noise, the marketing fluff, and the recycled advice from fitness magazines written for 25-year-olds with nothing but time and testosterone.

This is the blunt, field-tested guide to getting strong again when your joints crack, your metabolism sighs, and your energy has a bedtime. It doesn’t pretend aging doesn’t matter—it shows you how to train around it. Whether you’ve been out of the gym for a decade or never really left, this book gives you what you need: the truth about how to build muscle and keep it without wrecking your body, your schedule, or your sanity.

You’ll learn how to rethink training frequency, why old-school splits often fail older lifters, and how to recover like it’s part of the program—not an afterthought. You’ll see exactly what changes after 40—hormonally, physically, mentally—and how to adjust your approach without giving up your goals. There's straight talk about testosterone, about getting back into shape when you're starting from behind, and about why consistency matters more than heroics.

There are no transformation promises. No 30-day challenges. No talk of “biohacks” or magic supplements. Just what works when you’re ready to get serious about strength, longevity, and feeling like your body still belongs to you. It’s a book for men who want to be capable again—not just look the part.

Inside, you’ll find a program that respects your age, your time, and your injuries. A nutrition approach that doesn’t involve starving or measuring broccoli. And the mindset shift that lets you stop pretending you’re still 25—and start training like someone who plans to be strong at 65.

This is not a comeback story. This is the manual for what comes after. When you’re older, smarter, and finally ready to train for the long haul.
