By Skip La Cour, 57 years old Workouts For Older Men Why am I waking up scared? Maybe you know what I’m talking about. I often ask myself that question. Too often. What’s so different about today that has me feeling this way? Is today really different than any other day? Is my angst unjustified? Do I just need to get moving, have a cup or two of coffee, and wait a little while and my thoughts will be back to normal? Whatever normal is, right? Or, is this the way I should be feeling all of the time so…

By Skip La Cour, 57 years old Workouts For Older Men Transformation. Damn. Do know how many times I’ve said to myself, “It’s time to get it together, Skip. It’s time to really take your life to the next level. I mean, REALLY this time!” Hundreds of times. I just said that to myself this morning. At 57 years old, I’ve learned that I will ALWAYS be in the middle of some sort of transformation. Physical. Mental. Emotional. Family. Business. Figuring out how this whole “life thing” is going to play itself out. And that’s a GOOD thing. The only…

I would never have thought I could look this great at 55 years old while putting so little importance on things I believed were mandatory to becoming an awesome, competitive bodybuilder. This is a perfect system for you if you’re a little older with a busy, productive life that you must keep intact. I get asked several times a day about my diet. This is the way I’ve been living for about the last year or so. Many of these habits have been a standard part of my life for much longer. But, as I took everything up to a…

Learning How to Harness This Tremendous Power Will Launch Your Bodybuilding Efforts To A Higher Level When you look in the mirror, do you see a physique that’s pretty darn good by most people’s standards—but not quite good enough to make you 100 percent satisfied?

That’s if, of course, you are to ever achieve the body you really want. Although you always hear…

Good Just Isn’t Good Enough For You I talk with men just like you on the phone every single day. They’re a little bit older. They have busy, productive lives. They can’t “live” in the gym or think about workout strategies 24/7. But they want RESULTS. They DEMAND results and are willing to do the work. They look good for their age now. They know it. They appreciate this. Everyone in their family, at work, and in their social circles alway tells them how great they look too. It’s easy for these men like you to stand out and look better than the…

Do you think it’s really difficult to find a woman who supports your dedicated bodybuilding lifestyle? In this video, I share some of the toughest life lessons I’ve learned about relationships. This insight didn’t come only from my personal experiences. It also comes from the ones I’ve observed of many men dedicated to the bodybuilding lifestyle just like you and me for almost 30 years. I know what you’re thinking. “Relationship advice from a former champion bodybuilder? What the heck can he possibly know about relationships that I need to know?” I get it.

As you may know, my background has allowed me to help hundreds of men around the world become their very best both inside AND outside of the gym. That’s what MANformation is all about.

But I do have a solution that will allow you to keep doing so AND work toward enjoying a better overall quality of life. As always, I’m going to take really good care of you. The Angst Inside – The Power To Heal Therapy. I love the gym for the sense of relief it gives me. All of my challenges in life suddenly seem manageable after…

We bodybuilders love to think in extremes, don’t we? It’s ingrained in our identity. We generate power from doing so. A person is either FOR me or AGAINST me. Dedicated or lazy. Right or wrong. Good or bad. Saint or sinner. The situation we’re facing is either heaven or hell. It’s one way OR the other and can’t be both at the same time. Black or white. Nothing in between. Ever. In most cases, this mentality serves us well when it comes to building our bodies. It simplifies things. Our choices are limited. The only thing that’s simpler than having…

I used to pride myself on being super structured. Especially on Saturdays. While the rest of the world was taking it easy and enjoying life, I kept the same training, eating, and sleeping patterns as I did all week long. I saw keeping my structured, daily disciplines on Saturdays as a sign of power. I would even go so far to say that I even saw other people’s lack of structure on Saturdays as weakness. I don’t think that way anymore. I’m thankful for what my super structure did for me. It helped make me who I am today. It…

I have a confession. A confession that’s personal and brings out a lot of emotion in me. But before I tell you what that is, I want to ask you a few questions. Do you ever have these nagging thoughts? I’m hardworking. I’m smart. I’m doing better than most people around me. But . . . Why can’t I break through to the next level? Why can’t I get myself to take enough action to get what I really deserve? I know what you’re thinking. Maybe a little self-doubt sets in. You start wondering if you’re ever going to live…

“Who will I eventually become?” Do you ever ask yourself that question? If so, you’re not alone. It’s a very common question the men who I work with during our weekly, one-one-one coaching sessions ask themselves. I find myself asking that question all the time. And, it doesn’t matter what I’ve accomplished in the past or what exciting things I have planned in the future, I always wonder how my “story” will play out. Nothing in life is guaranteed. I don’t have to tell you that, I’m sure. That’s what causes our angst. We all want that sense of control.…

HOW TO BECOME MORE CONFIDENT We all could use more strategies that will teach us how to become more confident, can’t we? It doesn’t matter what we’ve accomplished in the past.

Learning more effective strategies that will teach us how to become more confident will help us get to those higher levels.
