Hairline is still strong, so no worries there.

Well there ya go.

Once you lift up your glasses from the granny chain they’re dangling from around your neck, put them on and squint hard enough at this comment to be able to read it, it might make you feel better to know that my own hairline is hanging on for dear life. So you’ve got me there at least!

As soon I turned 40 my eyes went to shit. Reading glasses the last couple years. It's crazy how you're young then you're just old overnight.

A bunch of recent research has been done on this. There's two periods, typically in your 40's and your 60's where a bunch of your biology just says fuck it and gets older quickly. I definitely noticed some shifts over the last 6 months that has pushed me into working out more and differently, eating better, ramping up my supplement game, etc.

Massive biomolecular shifts occur in our 40s and 60s, Stanford Medicine researchers find

Time marches on predictably, but biological aging is anything but constant, according to a new Stanford Medicine study.

One of my interests in GLP-1's is for their ability to keep some of this shit at bay.

Ya, I adjusted my diet recently to a more vegetarian slant with some chicken/fish. Also started to do more weights. I was mostly a treadmill guy but that's not enough now.

I've traditionally lifted heavy, mostly the standard compound (squad, deadlift, etc) lifts and mostly for strength. That shit gets hard on the joints though, recovery periods get longer and longer, more days or weeks off for small tweaks, injuries etc. All of it just makes it easier to skip workouts. I switched to kettlebell complexes 2 months ago to try to get more cardio stress built in to a compact strength building working, and just have something that I can do every day (I bought a few and just do them out on the deck after I finish my morning coffee most days) that still keeps me strong and I fucking love it.

Now...I don't know how that's going to work in the winter, but that's a problem for 5 months from now.

I was looking into kettlebells. Do you have a routine you can share.
