Welcome to the Grey Top Warriors Blog
This is your trusted resource for fitness, strength training, and health optimization specifically designed for men over 40.
Here at GTW, we understand the unique challenges that come with maintaining and building strength as you age. In my experience the standard fitness industry doesn’t understand the specific needs of men in their 40s, 50s, and beyond – so that’s exactly where GTW focus our expertise.
Our articles and guides are created by men who are walking this path ourselves and have helped hundreds of others transform their bodies and reclaim their vitality through the GTW Health & Fitness Lifestyle Program.

The GTW blog covers essential topics including bodyweight training, progressive overload techniques, home workout strategies, building functional strength after 40, maximizing testosterone naturally, injury prevention, proper recovery methods, and nutrition specifically optimized for men in midlife.
Unlike mainstream fitness advice, our content acknowledges the reality that men over 40 require specialized approaches. We believe that with the right knowledge and training methods, you can build a stronger, leaner, and more capable body regardless of your age or starting point.
