Introduction
We are all aging and it’s just a fact of life!
That does NOT mean your body, mind, joints, and energy have to deteriorate , leaving you with joint and muscle aches and pains, brain fog, a slow metabolism, blood sugar problems and diabetes, zero energy, relying on a medicine cabinet full of pills just to get you moving in the morning.
You have a LOT of control over how your body feels as you get older, but the problem is you’ve been lied to and misled about the foods, workouts, and strategies to help you lose fat, stay young and get into shape.
In fact, it’s  NOT your fault  if you’re over 40 and your mind and body feel 20 years older…
Everything that you read in magazines and online are targeted to 20- and 30-year-old guys!
You’ve probably been told that you are “past your prime” or too “washed-up” to get a strong and ripped body you can be proud of.
Have you been told your “glory days” are dead and gone, and getting the body you had in your 20’s and 30’s is impossible?
Well, my Brother, you’ve been lied to. Because your best body, health and LIFE is ahead of you!
It won’t matter if you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond, starting today you can pack on mass, and experience the same eruptions of muscle growth, sex drive, and vitality you enjoyed as a teenager .
We are all aging but not at the same rate. Have you ever wondered why one 40-year-old has trouble getting out of bed while another is running mara thons?
More often than not it’s because they have kept up a healthy lifestyle that includes a bulletproof mindset, great recovery plan, clean eating, and exercising on a regular basis.
But it is not just about exercising regularly and eating clean. At our age we have to change the way that we train and the foods we eat (or don’t eat!).
The days of traditional bodybuilding style weight training like we did when we were younger (you know bis/tris and chest and shoulders, etc.) are over.
Those types of workouts don’t work well for us when we reach our 40s. We don’t recover fast enough and our body doesn’t release the hormones that we need to focus on as we age.
Before I share how this book will help you with the transformation of your life, allow me to officially introduce myself.
My name is Funk Roberts and I am a 51-year-old former professional athlete, turned Master Metabolic Conditioning Trainer, MMA Strength & Conditioning Coach, Body Transformation Specialist for Men Over 40, and Founder of the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood.
Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve co-authored an Amazon #1 best-selling book and have been named one of America’s Premiere Experts as seen on ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox TV Affiliates.
I’ve written for many magazines and websites, am a featured trainer in fitness training DVD’s, and I’ve produced my own online products.
I reach over 1 million people every day through my emails, YouTube channel, Facebook and Instagram.
And most importantly, I have helped thousands and thousands of men just like you to completely transform their bodies, health and life.
THIS SIMPLY MEANS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE TRUST ME AND BELIEVE THAT I’LL GIVE THEM THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT IT REALLY TAKES TO LOSE FAT AND GAIN MUSCLE.
Unlike a lot of so-called fitness “gurus,” I won’t lead you astray just to make a buck.
Nope, my integrity is the only thing that matters and I refuse to sell out to make money.
Before I helped thousands of other people, I had to literally help myself first!
That’s right, for years I was humiliated by my own body.
I was a professional volleyball player, so during my 20’s I was always very active and very ripped.
But when I retired from playing pro volleyball, that all changed.
I was 39 years old, with a 9 to 5 desk job, kids to raise and a live-in girlfriend. I ballooned up from a ripped 180 pounds to a soft, puffy, and fat 215 pounds.
Since I was never happy about my body… I did what I “thought” I had to do: hour-long cardio sessions and 6 days a week of heavy weight training for an hour or two each time.
Even though I was in the gym six days a week, training for up to two hours in one session…
I couldn’t get the lean ripped body I wanted – and was NEVER able to get the abs I wanted.
I Was Big, Soft, Puffy and Never Able to Reach the Lean, Ripped Look.
Then I began to get nagging injuries in my shoulders and knees. I felt depressed, defeated, and my self-esteem started to deteriorate.
I felt like I hit a roadblock in life but still couldn’t figure out why.
And to make things worse, I totally lost my sex drive. My MOJO was GONE and my girlfriend left me.
I ended up eating horrible foods, drinking, partying and drugs. I was on a downward spiral of self-destruction.
It wasn’t until I went to the doctor with all these symptoms that he told me it might be due to my testosterone levels being LOW!
After a few tests and some blood work, low and behold I had very low testosterone, just over 300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL).
Instead of going on Testosterone Therapy I decided I needed to change my lifestyle to focus on increasing my testosterone and balancing my hormones so I can combat the aging process and get into the best shape of my life.
After months of research, trial and error, and lots of work I used the system I’m about to share with you, my Over 40 Alpha System, that helped to transform my body from 215 pounds to 185 pounds of lean, ripped, muscular physique – all in about 8 weeks.
I was finally lean, ripped, and back down to 185 pounds of solid muscle with hardly any fat at all.  These techniques helped me lose 30 pounds of fat while building lean, hard muscle and getting ripped.
More importantly I GOT MY MOJO BACK!
And I’ve continued to stay strong for the past 10 years using my 4-pillar system I am going to share with you in this book
