You can still build muscle after 35 - we just need to honor what happens as part of the natural ageing process

Which is

Recovery slows down

Protein needs go up

Hormones are changing, and

You can potentially lose 3 - 5% of your muscle mass each decade IF you dont strength train

This isn't a death sentence for your muscle building hopes and dreams

It just means we need a program that fuels your body, supports your nervous system, and has you lifting with intentionality

Then we build you a physique that you never wouldve imagined

Comment BUILD and I’ll tell you how I help clients build muscle without starving or living in the gym
