About BodybuildingAfter55

I started this website and facebook group because I was so tired of hearing all the so-called “magic” transformation stories. I’m sure you have heard some of them.

Take this magic pill, pharmaceutical, or eat my special food etc., and magically you will be muscular and healthy. No hard work needed. All I can say is BS!

When I was young, I followed bodybuilding magazines, because to people my age they were the go-to place to try and learn about bodybuilding. What I didn’t understand at the time was that they were only geared towards people using pharmaceuticals to enhance their bodies. There was nothing there for the average person.

There was a time when I would have loved a place where a person interested in achieving real results with honest information, and without the use of any drugs could find real answers without going broke. So I founded BodybuildingAfter55 in 2016 with a clear vision to be exactly that place.

The mission of BodybuildingAfter55 is to make strength training accessible to everyone regardless of your age or location. I’m determined to cut through all the clutter of today’s fad workout culture with my time-proven strength training methodology to get you the results you are looking for.

You could join our facebook group and get help from other like-minded members with your fitness journey for free if you’d like, or you could hire me to help you with 1-to-1 online personal training. I am not out to sell you some magic potion, but only to show you how to achieve your dreams.

Before I go further, I want to point out that everybody is different. Some of us have great genetics for bodybuilding, while others not so much. Everybody will have different results, so NOBODY can promise an unbelievable outcome. With that said, everybody can definitely improve their health and fitness levels by following proper exercise routines and nutrition. I’m not going to lie to you, it will be hard work, but isn’t your health and well-being worth the effort?

I know all about the hard work involved in getting fit and healthy, trust me, I’ve been there. Fat and sugary foods have always been a weakness of mine when it came to my diet. There have been a few different times in my life when I’ve had my body fat levels as high as 42% with a stomach size of 56″ at the largest. Last year with the world pandemic happening, I once again fell victim to my bad eating habits and became very obese. I am once again working on getting my body fat back to a reasonable range, so I do have personal experience and understand what it takes, and how hard it is to go from being very overweight to healthy and fit.

If you feel you need an honest trainer to get you where you need to be, then BodybuildingAfter55 is exactly what you’ve been looking for.
