If you don’t want to be decrepit as you age, focus your training on things you will lose with age. Training things you will keep anyway is a waste of time.
After the age of 40, you lose every year:
1% muscle size
2-4% muscle strength
8-10% muscle power
Not because of age but because of lack of training.
Get to the gym. It’s never too late.

PV☀️ It’s a great day to exercise.
I see many workout gurus online selling complicated programs for improving pull-ups. I’ll save you $. It’s simple:
1. Do pull-ups
2. Repeat step 1
If you can’t do a pull-up you’re running into a strength issue. No amount of other exercises targeting muscle endurance will solve the problem. Doing pull-ups become one rep max attempts triggering strength adaptations. You will eventually do a pull-up.
If you can do pull-ups, attempt more. Now you will be triggering muscle endurance adaptations and will be able to do more in a row.
Either way, follow the simple above rule.

Very true. Doing that will work wonders for most of the population. It’s hard to get folks to even consume 0.6g of protein/lb of body weight let alone 1g which would be ideal.
What’s strange about this stuff is that even with similar caloric/macronutrient intake and exercise regimen the weight loss tends to come from a greater loss in lean tissue after taking GLP-1 drugs compared to before at least anecdotally in clients. This part I don’t get.
If I could get people to choose the low time preference approach you point out rather than the easier but potentially dangerous way, I’d be happy but it’s hard to overcome the immediacy mindset combined with the influence of money and power behind these drugs. These are so popular now in my area that doctors have a specific section of their websites devoted to GLP-1 prescriptions.

If you’re crashing in the afternoon after a hard workout in the morning, before changing anything about your nutrition or workout routine, take 5 minutes (even as little as 3 minutes) after the
workout and do some breath work to calm yourself down.
4 seconds in and 8 seconds out, box breathing, or any other method that calms you will work.
