The only tool a dad over 40 actually needs to stay fit, a Steel Mace 💪

Staying strong and fit after 40 doesn't need to be complicated.

You don't have to leave your house to drive to a gym. You don't need thousands of dollars of equipment to build a home gym. And you definitely don't need the same boring workouts you did in your 20s.

The goal now is to be functionally fit and stay active for life.

If I could only pick one tool, it's the steel mace. Every time.

For the last 6 years it's been my main tool for strength, fitness, and mobility. It's kept me strong, lean, and flexible. It's kept me on the ball field with my girls, running around, and confident in how I look. All without spending hours I don't have.

If you want something you can keep in your garage, train with at home, and actually feel good doing, the steel mace could be your answer.

👉 Follow me and I'll show you exactly how I use it to stay one of the fittest 40 year olds around.

Played in my first official pickleball tournament this weekend.

7 months ago I picked up a paddle for the first time. This weekend I was out there competing with my good buddy Blake, and man… it brought something back I didn't even realize I was missing.

That nervous energy before a match.
The butterflies.
The fire to compete.

I bowled competitively from age 3 until I was 17. High level, my whole childhood. Then college baseball. Then men's softball. Then golf. Then CrossFit, where I trained and competed for years.

Somewhere along the way, life got full. Business. Coaching. Being a husband and a dad. And I stopped competing without even noticing.

But here's what I know about myself:

I'm an athlete. Always have been.

I need something to sharpen my sword on. Something to work at. Something that pushes me and humbles me at the same time.

Pickleball gave me that.

And the best part? My whole family plays now. My wife, my two girls, even my mom and dad. Three generations on the court together. That's the stuff that matters.

If you haven't tried it yet, don't knock it till you do. It's easy to pick up, hard to master, and it will humble you real quick. 😂

Had an absolute blast. Blake and I walked away with 3rd place, and I'm already looking forward to the next one. 🥉

Anybody else out there playing pickleball? Or thinking about giving it a shot? 👇

Never ever ever do this one thing if you want to be fit over 40...

Be the dad who teaches them health and fitness habits, how to train, and to have reasons why.

You're not eating too much. You're eating the wrong way. 🍳

Look at how fast breakfast protein stacks up:

🥚 4 eggs = 26g protein
🥚 4 eggs + ½ cup egg whites = 37g protein
🥣 4 eggs + ½ cup egg whites + Greek yogurt = 52g protein

That's the kind of start that keeps you full, builds lean muscle, and helps your body burn fat all day.

Most dads over 40 tell me "Coach, I barely eat anything and I still can't lose this gut."

Here's why. You're not getting enough protein early in the day. So you stay hungry, you snack, your energy crashes, and the belly doesn't budge.

Fix breakfast first. Everything else gets easier.

If you're tired of conflicting diet advice and you want to get lean, fit, and healthy over 40, follow me for simple nutrition that actually works in real life. 💪

I used to pop two or three Aleve just to get through a workout.

Shoulders, knees, back. By 30 I felt like a 60 year old man.

And here's the crazy part.

I was a Physical Therapist Assistant. I knew better. I just wasn't doing better.

So I did what most guys do when something hurts.

I tried to strengthen my way out of it.

More presses. More push ups. More bench.

And my shoulders kept getting worse.

Here's what nobody told me back then 👇

If your shoulder keeps getting hurt, it's usually not a strength problem.

It's a mobility problem.

Most guys go straight to building muscle on top of a joint that can't move the way it's supposed to. You're stacking strength on top of restricted range of motion. And then we wonder why it keeps flaring up.

You don't need another workout.

You need your shoulder to move again first.

That's why I love this one stretch with the steel mace.

Here's how to do it:

Put the mace on your shoulder and raise it up.

Reach back with your back hand and bring your front hand forward. That twists the mace and gets you a great external rotation stretch in the shoulder.

Now pull up with the hand at the top of the mace. That brings the arm behind your back into internal rotation.

Once you're there, pull down on the mace to deepen that internal rotation stretch.

Breathe the whole time. Slow and steady.

And go easy. Don't overdo this one. You're earning range of motion, not forcing it.

Add this into your routine a few times a week.

Get the shoulder moving again.

Then get back to the push ups, the bench press, playing catch in the yard with your kids, whatever it is you want to do to stay healthy and active for the long haul 💪

Save this so you have it for your next session.

Meal prep this lunch for 1 week and watch your weight drop. 👇

Most dads don't have a dinner problem.

They have a LUNCH problem.

You're slammed at work. Noon hits. You grab the drive thru, the gas station sandwich, or whatever's sitting in the break room.

Seed oils. Bread. Sugar. Barely any protein.

By 3 o'clock you're starving and dragging.

By dinner you're eating everything in sight.

And you wonder why the gut won't go away. 🤦‍♂️

I've been there. Beat up, inflamed, and softer than I wanted to admit.

What changed it wasn't a crazy diet. It was fixing simple meals like this one and repeating them.

This is the exact lunch I eat. 👇

🍠 200g baked sweet potato
🍗 8 oz chicken breast
🥒 46g dill pickles
🌶️ 24g buffalo sauce made with avocado oil

📊 THE NUMBERS
605 calories
75g protein
45g carbs
12g fat

4 real ingredients. Zero seed oils. Keeps you full till dinner.

And you only cook it ONCE a week. ⏱️

Inside the slides you get:

✅ Every ingredient weighed out
✅ The full macro breakdown
✅ Your Monday to Friday shopping list
✅ A 1 hour Sunday prep plan

No guessing. No counting all day. Just open the fridge and eat.

Eat this lunch for a week and you'll start losing the dad bod. 💪

📌 SAVE this so you have it at the store this weekend.

📲 SEND it to the dad who lives on drive thru lunches.
