    This episode dives into the high volume workout trap men fall into when it comes to trying to get fit after 40 - we either avoid working out because we don't have 5 hours a week, or we start working out 5 hours a week and it's all too much and we stop.

    Intensity beats volume for older guys. We can work hard (intensity) but we need extra time to recover and grow so we need to dial down the volume (number of sets).

    ** email me chris@offacoach.com to chat about coaching and check out https://www.offacoach.com/books to grab those 0.99 books I mention in this episode.**

    Struggling to get back on track after holiday? You're not alone. In this episode, I share my own brutal reality of trying to restart my fitness routine after returning from Greece - and why I gained more weight AFTER my holiday than during it.

    If you've ever found yourself stuck in "holiday mode" weeks after returning home, this episode is for you. I'll walk you through exactly what happened when I tried to go from zero to hero overnight, why it failed miserably, and the simple process I used to finally get back in the groove.

    What You'll Learn:

    • Why starting to work out again feels so overwhelming (and what to do instead)
    • The biggest mistake men over 40 make when getting back into fitness routines
    • My simple daily structure that actually works for busy guys with real responsibilities
    • How to build sustainable habits without turning your life upside down

    Perfect for guys who are:

    • Struggling to restart their workout routine after time off
    • Feeling overwhelmed by rigid fitness programs that don't fit real life

    Key Topics Covered: Getting back on track after holiday, starting to work out again, restarting fitness routine, sustainable workout habits, men over 40 fitness, post-holiday weight gain, building healthy habits, overcoming fitness overwhelm, realistic daily routine, consistency over perfection.

    This isn't another "perfect morning routine" or complicated system. This is about what actually works when you're juggling work, family, and the reality that holiday mode is just more fun than discipline mode.

    I share my personal struggle with trying to implement too many changes at once, the moment I realized I needed to listen to my own advice, and the simple daily actions that got me back to consistent workouts and proper nutrition.

    Whether you're dealing with post-holiday blues, struggling to restart your fitness routine, or just tired of programs that don't account for real life, this episode gives you a practical roadmap for getting back on track without the stress and overwhelm.

    About Over 40 Freaking Awesome: I help guys in their 40s and 50s build sustainable fitness habits that work with real life, not some fantasy version where you have unlimited time and energy. No BS, no perfect systems, just practical advice from someone who's been there and knows what actually works for busy men our age.

    If you're ready to stop starting over every few weeks and build habits that actually stick, this episode will show you exactly how to do it - starting with what a realistic good day should look like for the healthier version of yourself.

    ** Grab the Men 40+ Supplements Playbook here: https://ovr40.co/bundle **

    Why Standard ZMA Supplements Don't Work for Men Over 40 (Build a Better Version)

    Most ZMA supplements use cheap, poorly absorbed forms of zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6 that your body struggles to utilize effectively.

    For men over 40 dealing with declining testosterone and poor sleep quality, these inferior ingredients mean you're not getting the hormonal and recovery benefits you're paying for.

    This episode reveals why standard ZMA products fail older men and provides a complete guide to building a superior version using highly bioavailable forms that actually work for testosterone support and sleep improvement.

    What you'll learn:

    • Why zinc monomethionine and magnesium aspartate have poor absorption rates
    • Best forms of zinc for testosterone support in men over 40
    • How to choose magnesium that improves sleep without digestive upset
    • Exact dosing protocols for older men's hormonal needs
    • Proper timing and absorption tips for maximum effectiveness
    • Where to source superior ingredients without overpaying
    • Signs your upgraded ZMA stack is working for recovery and sleep

    Discover how to stop wasting money on supplements that barely work and start using forms that deliver real results for mens health, testosterone optimization, and sleep quality. Perfect for busy men dealing with dad bod struggles who want practical, science-backed supplement advice.

  • Why Fasting for Fat Loss Can Be a Recipe for DISASTER
    Aug 14 2025

    Send a message/question here!

    If you've tried fasting for fat loss but found it backfired, you're not alone. While intermittent fasting can be effective, strict 16:8 approaches often don't work well for fasting after 40, especially for men juggling careers, families, and regular workouts.

    Grab the No Weird Sh*t Diet guide here: https://ovr40.co/noweird

    This episode reveals the real dangers of fasting that affect men over 40 differently than younger guys. From sluggish morning workouts to afternoon energy crashes, rigid eating windows can actually work against your goals.

    Fasting after 50 becomes even more challenging as recovery needs change and stress tolerance decreases.

    I break down why fasting for men over 40 requires a different approach than what's typically promoted online. The classic skip-breakfast method often leads to overeating at lunch, poor work performance, and messed-up hunger signals that can sabotage long-term fat loss.

    But I'm not anti-fasting - I'll show you smarter alternatives that get you all the benefits without the downsides. Instead of forcing yourself into rigid 6-8 hour windows, learn how flexible eating windows work better for busy men while still controlling calories and avoiding evening snacking.

    Whether you're new to fasting for fat loss or you've struggled with strict intermittent fasting protocols, this approach gives you the flexibility to maintain your energy levels, workout performance, and social life.

    You'll discover why a 10-12 hour eating window often works better than the popular 8-hour approach, especially when you're training regularly and need proper recovery.

    The dangers of fasting aren't talked about enough, particularly for active men over 40 who need sustainable approaches that work with their lifestyle, not against it.

  • THIS Is The Perfect Workout Program For Busy Fellas | Variable Intensity Training
    Aug 11 2025

    Send a message/question here!

    If you're looking for the best workout program for men over 40 that actually fits your busy life, Variable Intensity Training could be exactly what you need.

    Nope it's not just another rigid workout plan for men 40+ - it's a genuinely flexible system with three different workouts you can mix and match based on your time and energy levels.

    **email me chris@offacoach.com and let me know if this is a program you'd like to see the full version of!**

    Most workout programs fail because they don't account for real life. Some days you have an hour and feel great, other days you're exhausted with only 30 minutes to spare. VIT gives you options:

    the "Just Get It Done" 30-minute session with compound movements,

    the "Bread & Butter" 40-minute full-body HIT workout, and

    the "Ooh La La" 50-minute aesthetic-focused session.

    This is the best workout for when you're busy because there's always something you can do. Even if your week goes completely sideways, you can still get effective training done.

    The system combines High Intensity Training principles with practical flexibility, making it perfect for guys who want to build strength AND look good in clothes.

    Whether you're new to HIT after 40 or you've tried rigid programs that didn't stick, VIT adapts to your life instead of forcing your life to adapt to it. You'll hit all your major muscle groups, build functional strength, and target those areas that make you feel confident when you look in the mirror.

    The beauty is in the flexibility without randomness - you're always doing productive work, but you can roll with whatever life throws at you. No more giving up because you missed one workout or couldn't follow the exact program.
