A quick but humorous thought:

Wow, it's been since mid-July since my last post. Man, I've got to get back to doing this regularly.

Anyway, today's post is going to be short but sweet.

It's funny that about a decade ago or so I kept on hearing the following from so many people:

"Brett, once your in your thirties it'll be tough to stay flexible."

"Brett, remember, when your in your mid-thirties your metabolism is going to slow down."

"Brett, it's going to be harder to stay as lean and fit once your in your thirties."

"Brett, you won't be able to keep on getting stronger once your in your thirties."

And so on and so forth.

I find this funny because I"m now 36 and I haven't seen any of these statements to be true. I'm currently the strongest that I've ever been. I'm in better shape than I've ever been. I have better flexibility and mobility. I'm leaner. My metabolism is so quick that I have trouble eating enough to keep weight on. My muscle mass keeps on increasing. And more.

So, to all of you who told me that things would start getting harder in my 30's I just have to laugh a little. It's really not the age, but how you take care of the body that counts. I'm looking forward to the next decade and sending out a similar message to all of you that are repeating those same statements about being in your 40's.

Now, go train hard and smart.

Yours in strength and health,
Brett Stepan
