I’ll turn 40 early this year. The second half of life will begin. Middle age.
I feel good. My wife and I have a great relationship. I spend a ton of time with my girls. And I’m more certain of my purpose and direction in life.
I’ve spent the last several years focusing on bodybuilding and just being healthy and balanced in my training.
It’s worked well. My body feels great and I feel strong and durable.
Lately, the siren song of the barbell has been calling to me once more.
With my 40s approaching I’ve been thinking about what I want to do with my time. What I want to accomplish. What I don’t want to leave undone.
And one thing that has answered has been the thought that I still have more potential in me.
That my best lifts might not be behind me but lay ahead.
So, I find myself taking my training even more seriously as I begin to chase some numbers that I’d like to hit before my strongest days are behind me.
Or to at least know that I gave it absolutely everything I had in the attempt.
Follow along with me as I share my journey of balancing strength and health as I pursue these big white whale goals I have.
You’ll find a blend of the things that make you stronger along with the things that make you healthy enough to engage in the heavy training.
Men in their 30s, 40s and 50s will gain a lot of valuable insight into how to balance staying healthy and strong as they age.
This is just my path. You’re welcome to walk along with me for as long as you’d like. It’d be an honor for you to join me. 👊

I’m incredibly grateful for the team we have at Stivers Strength Gym.
You couldn’t ask for better people to partner with you on your life’s dream.
I told my high school guidance counselor that I wanted to workout for a living.
She told me I should probably be more realistic…🤣
Opening a gym, lifting all the time, and helping other people learn this practice that has brought so much to my life were my only aspirations.
I never would’ve imagined what this could all turn into.
I have a passion for training and passing it on to others. I truly think everyone’s life would be better if they lifted weights.
But, I was only able to take things so far by myself.
I believe these two incredible individuals were sent to make a good thing truly great.
Our mission is so much bigger than my potential but it is a pure and good one.
Kaitlin has been the leader and manager I never knew we needed. (What? Ya’ll don’t just fly by the seat of your pants?)
She has organized the chaos and set the standard for attention to detail, client care and follow through.
She takes initiative, takes great pride in her work and just genuinely cares about people and their health and well being.
I hope my daughters grow up to have such a good head on their shoulders as Kaitlin.
Zach impressed me from the beginning when despite having a broken leg in a cast he hobbled around the gym and still loaded plates and helped out.
He didnt complain or ask for anything. I knew everything I needed to know about his work ethic right then and there.
He’s genuinely interested in other people and got to know our members right away.
He just actually cares about other people and thats just so damn refreshing to see.
Without these two I’d just be some guy lifting weights, practicing armchair philosophy and helping a few people here and there.
But with this team, we’re going to change hundreds and hundreds of lives, build an amazing gym community, give back to local charity, provide a good income in an industry notorious for huge turnover, and help people age with strength and dignity for years to come.
Kaitlin, Zach, Thank you, truly 🤝
