With my recent post showing images of myself at 30/40/50 in great shape I’ve had a few DMs commenting that it must be great to have such good genetics to be in shape my whole life. This could not be farther from the truth! In fact, I have shit genetics and have to scratch and claw for every ounce of muscle I gain and have to diet my ass off to burn the fat. It wasn’t until my late 20’s that I finally figured out the proper approach to training and nutrtion to see real changes... in my body. I had friends in high school that never watched what they ate and by being active and playing sports alone had great physiques but I wasn’t one of them. When I look at my 30/40/50 year old post I don’t see great genetics and an easy path I see many years of struggle and sacrifice that eventually became a way of life for me. 99% of the population would not have lived the life I did for so many years to look the way I do today. As I look back now with my decades of experience and realize that I didn’t have to be as hardcore as I was, I have now learned about balance with my diet and training. Today I live a much more rewarding lifestyle where I can go out to eat, travel without thinking about my diet and working out all the time, I actually have a life. From my mid 20’s to my early 40’s everything I ate was accounted for and my training was much more intense. I’ve loosened up a lot in recent years and now enjoy my life. This has made life more fun for me and my clients. They are lucky that I can now teach them how to look and feel great without being as hardcore as I once was. #transformation #change #nevertoolate #fitover50 #fitat50 #fitnesslifestyle #fitnessfoodie #grandad See more

What’s your motivation? 99% of the people I’ve trained over the years motivation was to look better, plain and simple. I’ve literally had clients with several significant health issues due to an unhealthy lifestyle that could dramatically shorten their life. However, they are coming to see me to look better not to become healthier. The fortunate things for my clients is that they are going to improve their health on their way to the better body goal. The older I get the more I realize that looking good is terrific BUT being healthy is far more important. #priorites

Real-time #blackandwhite #abscheck I’ve increased my calories somewhat as I have been feeling depleted even when I’ve replenished my glycogen stores after #fasting I haven’t increased them by much, I’ve basically added 40-50% more carbs to my meals (average meal was 30g now 40-45g) and this seems to be making a difference. I look fuller and feel better. Again, the leaner you get the more deprived you feel. It’s a lot different dieting when you have lots of weight to lose, you have lots of stored calories for your body to consume. When you are already lean your body wants to burn lean mass more then body fat. It’s a tricky balance to say the least! #balance #diet #fitover50 #fitatanyage #grandad #whitebeard #abs

Being #fitover40 isn’t as easy as being fit at 20. Being #fitover50 is even harder. Saying that it’s so more rewarding being fit into your later years. As an @optimumnutrition #sponsored athlete I’m lucky enough to try out their newest products to help me stay fit. Especially now with their new #Fit40 line designed specifically for people over 40. They have a #wheyprotein a #performancebooster and a #jointformula I have been using these products for the last few month exclusively and I feel great. My joints especially have not felt this good in years! If I can look like this at Christmas time at #50yearsold imagine how you can look if you’re over 40. #proven #TeamON #supplements #fitatanyage #itsnevertoolate #abs

Ok Game Changers since you have been brainwashed by a nutrtion documentary you are clearly interested in having more knowledge about the food you eat. This is... one of the better ones Ive seen recently that covers many angles. When you have 1.5 hours to spare give it a watch with an open mind and plain old common sense. Ive seen many of the same results people have in this movie first hand over the years. If you have children this is a must watch. Stop feeding them the shit most people THINK is good for them because the food corporations say so. Start fuelling their bodies with the foods that were put on this planet for us to eat.

Lots of shirtless pics being posted lately, someone must be liking what he sees in the mirror despite pointing out nothing but his flaws all the time. Its funny how most people would look at me (in person or online) and think this prick is full of himself. Yet the truth is this prick is the first one to point out his flaws and is far more humble then expected. I realize there is always going to be someone in better shape or is more talented and more successful. I compare m...yself to people that are better then me all the time. This is what keeps me humble, however I also compare myself to the person I used to be and thats what keeps me motivated to continue to stand out from the crowd. You can make people see whatever you want them to see, you can fake it until you make it. Except in one area, the physique. You have to make it first, there is no faking a great physique. #gettingbetter #gettingleaner #fitatanyage #fitforlife #fitover50 #abs #mirrormirroronthewall #confidence See more

What a difference food can make. This #realtime #abscheck shows what I look like after two full days of eating every three hours after breaking my 46 hours of #intermittentfasting . If you compare it to the post before this one youll see the difference in my depleted physique vs replenished physique. A quick example of how important your nutrition is and how it impacts your body from the inside and out. #fitatanyage #abs #fitover50 #fitatanyage #fitforlife #whitebeard #grandad

This pic was taken last Friday afternoon. I had completed 43 hours of #intermittenfasting Tuesday evening then ate my typical diet of 6 meals a day Wednesday and Thursday. Since Friday night I had a big food binge on the town lined up I figured I would #fast again from Thursday evening at 8pm to eat again Friday evening around 6:30. In retrospect this may not have been the best idea. I feel super depleted in this pic and my stomach felt like a black hole consuming itself. The leaner you get the more aware you have to be about how you fast. When there you are carrying lots of body fat you have more wiggle room if you will. There is a fine lining between fasting and burning fat and fasting and burning muscle. #atrophy #sohungry #wastingaway #fitover50 #fitatanyage #fitnesstips #abs

Decades of #dedication and experience. Ive said it before and Ill say it again, I may not be the most jacked or the most anything for that matter but I dont know anyone personally that has been ripped year in and out (minus the odd few weeks of indulgence here and there) like I have been. Is it easy? Not even close! Why do you think bodybuilders have on and off seasons? Being lean 24/7 take a toll on your body and your mind but Ive sacrificed to inspire and motivate my cl...ients through the years. I used to look like crap most of my teen years and early 20s, embarrassed to take off my shirt or wear shorts in public. Since my transformation three decades ago its almost impossible to keep my body covered;) This has never been a fad or a phase for me, this became a lifestyle and stayed one and always will. I dont identify with being out of shape anymore, I designed my look and a new personality and person emerged with my transformation. Being in shape made me a different person not only on the outside but also on the inside. If you think its too late to make your change, its not. Your best you may still be waiting to emerge. #dedication #fitnesslifestyle #itsnevertoolate #youcandoit #fitforlife #walkthewalk #rolemodel #fitover30 #fitover40 #fitover50 #fitnessmotivation #fitatanyage #thereisnooffseason See more

If you truly follow me you know that recently I have been eating clean (most of the time) and indulging less. Saying that, I am living the #fitnessfoodie lifestyle by having some spectacular meals while continuing to lean out. Having my cake and eating it too if you will;) My combination of workouts/clean eating/intermittent fasting seem to be balancing my dietary indiscretions. I think I have found a great #balance for the fitness buff over 40 who wants to get into or maintain great shape without missing out on #thefinerthings in life. Its one thing to live in the gym and eat out of Tupperware 24/7 in your twentys but in your 40s, 50s and on its a different lifestyle. #fitnesslifestyle #haveyourcakeandeatittoo #lowbodyfat #fitover50 #fitover40 #fitatanyage #thisis50 #whitebeard

Hour 41 of what will be 46 hours of #intermittenfasting No pump, as usual. So needless to say Im feeling depleted BUT Im not feeling the saggy skin as much as previous weeks. My skin still needs to tighten A LOT for me to look my best but I still have 4.5 weeks to improve before my beach vacation. Between now and then I have at least 8 days where my food is going to be excessive. Yes I could use restraint and ensure I eat very little on the days. I know things are going to be excessive and the #fitnessfoodie in me will want to go overboard, and Im going to play it by ear. Time will tell. #ticktock #fitover50 #fitatanyage #whitebeard #abs #fitnessmotivation #thisis50 #imhungry

#keepinitreal with another real time #abscheck This was taken at 10am Monday Dec 16th. Last Friday I went out for a night on the town where we got 4 restaurants in one night and had countless dishes. Saturday I spent eating some of the doggie bag contents as well as ordering a bunch of Thai food that evening. Something didnt agree with me and I spent all of Sunday lying down unable to eat or drink anything without getting sick. Needless to say that very sick day became day o...ne of my 48 hours of #intermittentfasting I felt like hell but there is no easier way to fast then being unable to eat due to an illness;). I feel great today thankfully and will continue the fast until approx hour 45-46 before eating. I have to say, the abs are looking better this week then last despite my weekend indulgence. #fitover50 #oopsididitagain #dietkarma #abs #gettingleaner #whitebeard #lowbodyfat See more

Working on a program for a new 40+ client. Generally I have to modify my typical training approach for the older client. Often they are coming to me with some sort of physical issue, and or health concerns. If they dont I still have to consider that they are not going to recover as quickly as they did in their earlier years to prevent injury and overtraining. One thing I can mention that they can do outside my studio is to incorporate the #fit40 line of products from @optimumnutrition They are designed for specifically for the person in the gym over 40. Lets face it, the older we get the more help we can use! #sponsored #proven #fitover40 #fitover50 #wheyprotein #jointformula #performancebooster

I have to say I probably enjoy training arms more than any other body part. Thats not saying much as i loath training most body parts. Thats right, you heard me. I dont love working out. Shocker? I workout and eat right for one reason only, to look the way I do. I dont enjoy killing myself in the gym or sacrificing all my favourite foods and beverages for decades at a time. I realize that if I dont live the lifestyle that I do I will look like every other #skinnyfat guy ...out there. Trust me, I remember my before pic days. It would be great if you could workout and diet and get to a certain point and stay there but it doesnt work that way. You have to keep doing what you did that got you to your goal to maintain it. Sorry for the bad news but being #fitforlife required eating clean and working out for life. If you arent ready for the commitment then enjoy your brief time looking good when you achieve your goal. Then get ready to see your old friend the before pic again cause he/she is coming home;) #fitnessmotivation #fitover50 #fitatanyage #dontstop #itneverends See more

Another #realtime #abscheck The pic may or may not show a significant change in the Lea was of my abs BUT the skin fold callipers have shown a drop in approx 30% of subcutaneous body fat in the past 3 weeks. I think due to the amount of liquids I consume and the volume of low calorie vegetables to bulk up my meals I end up distending my stomach every night before bed. This makes it even harder for my skin to tighten to reveal the true definition. I have to reduce my meal size, as much as I hate the idea, and get used to feeling hungry and deprived again. Saying that, tonight I have an epic #foodie experience planned with friends. God only knows how much distension Im in for tonight;). Pics to come. #fitnessfoodie #fitover50 #fitatanyage #biceps #abs #fitnessmotivation

Another #realtime #abscheck for those of you following along. There may not seem to be a major change visually but according to the skin fold callipers there have been a drop of approx 30% in the subcutaneous fat around my abs. Ive been drinking lots of water and eating larger meals (more veggies) which often distends my stomach. This keeps the skin from getting tighter. Gonna have to start making smaller more compact meals to get the most bang for the buck. #fitnessproblems #fitover50 #fitatanyage #fitforlife #abs #biceps #whitebeard

#veinspoppin despite having a way to go to lean out yet. As I lean out more and my skin gets tighter over time I will become very #vascular Sadly as much as I enjoy being freaky lean and vascular the general masses feel otherwise. Being covered in veins is too hardcore for the mainstream crowd but luckily for me this body is by design for ME and no one else. You are and artist and your body is your canvas, make it look however you want regardless of others think. Ideally you ...will do it in a healthy way and not a harmful way. Quite often I have clients that become self conscious because of negative comments they may get from friends and family thinking they are going too far. With todays waistlines getting bigger than ever and becoming the norm many people think that someone who is trying to get lean has some sort of body dysmorphia. The real body dysmorphia is in the media and the eyes of the general public accepting being overweight and even obese as the new norm. Ill continue to remain in great shape and leave the stares and snickers to the unhealthy out of shape people that have a problem with how I look. #lookinthemirror #gettingleaner #youdoyouandilldome #differentstrokes #fitover50 #fitatanyage #fitforlife See more

Whats your #postworkoutmeal ? Mine is always a liquid meal that is quickly absorbed containing a combination of high GH simple carbs and a quickly absorbed #wheyprotein Since Im over 40 I use @optimumnutrition #Fit40 line of protein. Its designed to meet the specific needs of people over 40. This is an important ingredient in my very tasty shake. #sponsored #proven #optimumnutrition #fitover40 #fitover50 #fitatanyage #postworkout #proteinshake

Being #fitover50 is pretty bad ass if I do say so myself. Being #fitatanyage is great but the older i get the fewer fit people there are to compare myself too. Go to a gym or beach and check out the people in great shape, Im guessing the majority are in their 20s and it starts to dwindle fast from there. The older I get the more attention I get (which as an #attentionwhore I love) and its mainly to do with the fact that I am now a fitness unicorn. Of course there are many many people in great shape in their #50s the thing is they are very rarely in each others company. Staying in shape and inspiring younger and older people keeps me on my game and standing out from the crowd. #itcanbedone #getinthegame #fitforlife #itsnevertoolate #standout #whitebeard #abs #fitoverfifty

50 year old doing bicep curls. Who knew youd be watching this today? Two weeks out from Christmas and Im making sure I get all my workouts in as well as stay on course with my eating (except for a few scheduled cheats) to ensure I continue to lean out over the season and not gain fat. Is it easy this time of year, heck no. Is it easy anytime of year, heck no! I look and perform like this at 50, whats your excuse? #noexcuses #bicepcurls #lowbodyfat #workout #fitnessmotivation #fitover50 #fitat50 #fitatanyage #fitforlife

Why so serious?! Ive been receiving some you need to smile comments or messages lately. @financingfirst you know what Im saying;). Its not easy smiling when you were born with a #restingbitchface If Im not scowling Im not breathing;). Funny thing is my grandson has the same look and has since he was born. Every photoshoot Ive done the photographer has said big smile, then I smile and he says come on, smile! I say it feels like I am smiling only to see a moderately less scowl when he shows me the pic. For those of you that want more smiles, Im working on it #smile #whysoserious #oldhabitsdiehard #fitover50 #fitat50 #fitoverfifty #whitebeard #scowl @ Emerge Lifestyle and Fitness Training

Some days youre feeling it and some days youre not. Throw in 30+ hours of not eating anything and working out doesnt rank high on the to do list. However, none of that matters. What matters is that you lift yourself up and get back in the game! Whether you are aiming for a goal or maintaining what you have already achieved you have to get your ass in the gym and you have to watch what you eat. If this was easy everyone would look kick ass, fortunately very few do so do whatever you have to do to motivate yourself and make sure you look kick ass! #triceps #gymmotivation #standout #beabetteryou #thisis50 #fitover50 #fitforlife #fitatanyage

The sun may not be out but the guns came out regardless. The bonus of eating way too many calories yesterday is a full arm pump today! At this point Im at hour 18 of what should be 42+ hours of #intermittenfasting I trained chest and back today to deplete my upper body muscles and tomorrow Ill be hitting legs. This way when I start to eat again my muscles will be primed to soak up all the carbs I consume. #fasting #pumped #arms #fitover50 #fitatanyage #fitforlife #whitebeard

#glorydays when were yours? Maybe they are still to come? I know a lot of people that peaked in high school. That sucks if you ask me. I have met many people who back in high school were The Man or the Most Popular Girl. Seeing how far they have slipped since their prime, those days are a distant memory. Saying that, its never to late and you are never to old to have glory days for the first time or all over again. Dont be the person that shows people pics from decades ago to show you at your best, create your new best. #nevertoolate #fitatanyage #fitforlife #fitover50 #startnow #fitnessmotivation

As I kid I would always hear Drink your milk. Now as an adult that works out my inner voice says Drink your whey! Since Im #over40 I choose @optimumnutrition and their #Fit40 line designed specifically for people just like me. Fit 40 Whey supports recovery more than any other whey on the market. #Recovery is VERY important for the aging athlete. I spend less time killing myself in the gym and focus more on recovery from my workouts. If you are over 40 give Fit 40 Whey a try! It tastes great and mixes great too! #sponsored #proven #wheyprotein #supplements #proteinpowder #fitover40 #fitover50 #fitforlife #fitatanyage

This weekend wasnt perfect diet wise. I had my granddaughter staying with us which exposed me to treats we normally dont have in the house. Yes I did end up nibbling on Sour Candies and M&Ms while watching combat sports on TV. Partly due to cutting my finger pretty bad while being distracted from chopping up food for dinner. This lead to playing the victim that could only be consoled with sugary treats. Then the next day was followed by dinner and wine at moms. Check out the pic of the #meatloaf (that Ive grown up on) and I can assure you I ate more than shown in the pic. No worries though, back on track and back on my 48 hours of #intermittentfasting #oopsididitagain #backontrack #fitover50 #fitatanyage #fitnessfoodie #foodporn #comfortfood @ Emerge Lifestyle and Fitness Training

I may not be prefect, far from. I may not be the strongest or the fastest, not even close. One thing I do tend to excel at is #longevity I have outperformed 99% of the people that were in extreme shape with me back in the day. Its one thing to be in your shape in your 20s, its another to maintain that shape for 30 years. Its also another thing to sacrifice for decades and maintain extreme shape. Ive never competed as I have too many flaws and I dont need them to be poin...ted out. Ive always looked at my life as a stage, I compete in life everyday not on stage against a handful of people who prepped for that one and only day. Prepping for life and not for a day is a whole other animal. Its not easy being a mentor but it is rewarding and keeps me on my toes. #ificandoityoucandoit #fitforlife #fitover50 #fitatanyage #ageisnoexcuse #raisethebar See more

Everyday I wake up after completing another perfect day on my diet I wake up a happy guy. Much better feeling then the mornings where Im still full from the night before or even worse feeling the effects of too much vino! The saying goes nothing tastes as good as being in shape feels. There is some truth to that, but Ive also eaten some very tasty foods;). Do your best to string together a couple of weeks of eating clean and see how good you feel. It almost becomes a bigger motivator than the changes you see in the mirror! #eatgood #feelgood #lookgood #fitover50 #fitatanyage #abs #thisis50

#thisis50 or at least this is me at 50. After three decades of staying in shape (single digit body fat 99% of the time) by always eating clean it starts to get a little old. The older I get the more the #foodie in me wants to get out. However I can still enjoy many of my favorite dishes by preparing them at home and replacing dirty ingredients with clean ones. Today I prepared a #thai dish known as #padkraprao which is one of the most popular dishes in Thailand. I ground up #...porktenderloin instead of using pre ground pork. This is a much leaner option and it tastes just as good. By using far less oil and a leaner protein source I took a meal that I couldnt eat at a restaurant and stay on track and turned it into one I could. By weighing and measuring the food before putting it on my plate I know Im getting the exact macros I require. The #fitnessfoodie strikes again! #thaifood #foodporn #fitover50 #fitatanyage #eatclean #learnhowtocook #diet @ Emerge Lifestyle and Fitness Training See more

Another great #haircut and #beardtrim from @hairbossbarbershop This should keep me going until just before New Years! #groomingformen is just as important as it is for women. That gets kicked up several levels when you are a man in the fitness industry! I must have spent a million dollars on razors at this stage of my life. Three decades of full body shaves adds up! Im sure the day will come where I eventually take a step back and let the hair go. When that day does come Ill make Wolverine look as smooth as a babys bottom;) #beard #whitebeard #silverfox #thisis50 #fitover50 #jeepwranglerunlimited

#thisis50 or at least this is me at 50. I get so many DMs from guys telling me how they have tried to get into shape but cant. The problem is lack of knowledge more than lack of desire. When you waste months trying to get into shape and only spin your wheels its frustrating. That was basically my first 3 years of working out. I had no idea what I was doing in the gym and knew nothing about nutrition. It wasnt until I took the Trainer and Sports Nutrition Specialist courses... through @issaonline in the 90s that I finally understood what I was doing wrong. This is what led to me leaving the corporate world for the fitness world. Anyone can get into much better shape than they presently are, IF they know what to do. What took me 6 years to achieve personally with my physique I can accomplish in 6 months with a client starting from the same place. Dont give up, just stop doing something that isnt yielding results. If you dont see changes in the first month its not working for you, stop wasting time. #ticktock #youcandoit #fitover50 #fitover40 #fitatanyage #fitforlife #grandad See more

7 weeks out from my Jamaican vacation, focused on my diet and my goals. Dont get me wrong, the #fitness foodie is still in full effect. Between now and my trip there are many dietary distractions and thats why Im being so good when I can. To be a fitness foodie you have to balance the clean and the dirty carefully. I have at least 12 dates where the foodie in me will in complete control of the eating. To counter those dates I have to be really good on the other days. #balance #abs #fitover50 #fitatanyage #fitforlife #fitnessmotivation #50yearsold

The morning after breaking my 45 hours of #intermittentfasting I broke my fast at my #Persian wifes familys house with a #Persianfood feast. I used some self control and didnt go crazy with the food. To be honest Ive been eating so clean lately that the food I ate didnt quite agree with me like it normal does. Lots of carbs and fat all at once got my stomach doing flips so I had to shut down the feeding frenzy early;). Turned out to be a fortunate situation as it prevent...ed me from having any spillover. Needless to say Im feeling fuller today and remaining lean even though Im probably holding some sub Q water from all the sodium. Either way Im calling this a success! Excited to see how the rest of the week goes #stayingontrack #focused #fitnessfoodie #foodporn #foodie #fitover50 #fitatanyage #grandad #whitebeard @ Emerge Lifestyle and Fitness Training See more

For years Ive had #sorejoints but the last couple months my joints have felt a lot better thanks to @optimumnutrition #Fit40 #jointformula Taking only one capsule a day I noticed a difference in a few weeks.

#realtime #abscheck once again. This is day nine of eating clean and following a structured approach. A similar pic was posted a week ago (scroll down) and the changes are minor but they are there. Some times all it takes is seeing a little change to stay motivated. Im always recording clients changes on paper but those changes arent always seen in the mirror. Im doing a body composition test on myself tonight so Ill see what the changes on paper look like and if they reflect what my eyes see. #progresspic #fitover50 #fitatanyage #fitnessmotivation #whitebeard #grandad

Hour 21 of my 45 hours of #intermittentfasting Chest and back workout complete and #pumped from stored glycogen. Im going to train legs tomorrow on hour 41, that should be fun! #fasting #dieting #pumpedup #fitover50 #fitatanyage #fitnessmotivation #noglasses #whitebeard #grandad #grandfather

#keepinitreal with another real time #abscheck Ive actually been pretty good for the last 5 days as far as my diet goes. I havent eaten anything dirty, havent drank any alcohol although I may have nibbles here and there consuming more calories then I should have. I was honestly hoping to look a little tighter than this but its only been 5 days. Im MIGHT treat myself with one meal at some point this weekend but my goal is to not go crazy and continue to progress through the weekend. If you are struggling staying on track you arent alone. It happens to the best of us;) #dietstruggles #whatsfordinner #fitover50 #fitatanyage #biceps #abs #whitebeard

#keepinitreal with another real time #abscheck Im happy to say Im receiving many DMs from people telling me they admire my real approach posting body shots that are both photoshoot ready as well as less than perfect. Most fitness industry people get into photoshoot shape and pay several photographers to take many many shots with many looks that they can post year round. This give a false representation of their lifestyle. You will notice when Im leaner in pics my food pics are cleaner. When Im softer my food pics are dirtier. So enjoy this pic of my smooth midsection and the kind of foods Im consuming to make it look this way;). #reallife #nolies #fitover50 #fitatanyage #fitnessfoodie #foodporn #comfortfood @ Burlington, Ontario
