Growing older in fitness doesn’t mean losing your edge—it means evolving.
When you’ve spent decades in the weight room walking every road from bodybuilding to heavy powerlifting (like Mike has), priorities naturally shift. It’s easy to feel like a part of you is gone when you aren’t chasing the same numbers you used to. Trust me (Jo) when I say this because I've seen Mike squat 700 and bench 500 but now squats are smaller and bench is really just a movement more than weights. The real strength is knowing when to adapt and be okay moving on and forward.
Lately, Mike’s focus has been on scaling back body weight, keeping healthy, and dialing into mobility and longevity. Meeting your body where it’s at today is how you stay in the game for the long haul.
