The modern man is set up for failure. They are expected to make a lot of money, have success in their career, be athletic and in good shape, and still have the energy to play with the kids and give their wives attention when they get home. Often, they feel like they have to do it all without emotion in fear that they may look weak. No wonder most men complain of feeling stressed or burnt out by age 30. Many men find themselves thinking, “This is not what my life was supposed to be.”

The truth is that men are even less equipped to handle the stress of our modern culture today than they were just 25 years ago. Average male Testosterone levels have been slowly dropping over the last 50 years. Yes, that means that your grandfather likely had twice the testosterone that you had when he was your age. This is due to the high-stress lives that most men live now, but also due to exposure to processed foods, toxins in the environment, testicular exposure, and many men sitting at a desk all day instead of having physically demanding careers.

This leads to men feeling exhausted by their late 30s, they no longer have the same energy and drive to advance in their careers and meet all the needs of their family, but also don’t have the motivation to maintain their ideal body. The truth is, those of us who do get to the gym regularly still don’t see the results that we should.
