For many men, middle age comes with an unwelcome surprise — muscle loss. From your 30s onward, you could lose up to 5% of your muscle mass every decade, leading to lower strength, higher fall risk, and a host of other health concerns.
But it’s not all downhill. The body responds positively to resistance training at any age. Starting with bodyweight workouts and gradually increasing intensity allows your muscles — and your joints — to adapt without injury.
Pair this with a solid diet: more protein, fewer processed foods. Pistachios are an ideal post-workout snack thanks to their complete plant-based proteins and minerals. Support your training with good hydration, minimal stress, and 7–9 hours of sleep, and you’ll notice real gains — even in your 50s and beyond.
