#98 - Can you still get in shape over 35??
You hit 35 and suddenly the world talks like you are on the scrapheap. We are not buying it. Larry Doyle and Daniel get honest about what actually changes after 35, and why “I cannot get results anymore” is usually a life problem, not a biology problem. We dig into the comparison trap of measuring a busy parent or stressed commuter against your 25 year old self who had more time, more sport, and fewer responsibilities. We talk realistic training for fat loss and muscle gain: why three solid strength sessions can be enough, how to adjust volume to match recovery, and why the smartest move is often doing less, better. Steps get a proper reality check too, because going from 4,000 to 10,000 overnight is a great way to quit. The conversation gets practical and messy: cutting down ultra processed food, sorting sleep, easing off the weekend drink, and building a routine that stacks the deck in your favour. We also tackle “notions” head on, from going too hard at tennis to the ego hit of being weaker than you remember, plus the truth about novel stimulus soreness when you bring back movements you have ignored. Former athletes will recognise the identity shift, and why training with purpose beats chasing old PBs. If hormones or testosterone are your go to explanation, we ask the blunt question: where is the proof?
