Ep. 7 Don’t Be a Scrawny Grandpa: Eat, Train, and Recover Like a Man

Kevin English Episode 7

Welcome back to The Alpha Edge Podcast - the show for men over 50 who refuse to fade out, slow down, or settle for average. In this episode, Kevin and returning co-host Russell lay out a no-BS roadmap to help you avoid becoming what we call the scrawny grandpa.

 

We’re talking about that skinny-fat look - narrow shoulders, soft flabby belly, skinny arms and legs - that screams frail and fragile instead of strong and capable.

 

Sound familiar? Or maybe it's someone you know?

 

Either way, this episode is your wake-up call.

 

Inside this episode:

  • Why muscle is non-negotiable for men over 50
  • The truth about skinny-fat syndrome (and why it might be worse than being overweight)
  • How to eat like a man (yes, this means protein - real protein)
  • Why strength training is the most masculine thing you can do
  • The surprising importance of sleep, stress management, and walking
  • What it really means to recover like a man

 

If you want to show up as the kind of grandpa who gets mistaken for your kid’s older brother (instead of needing a walker to get through Costco), this one’s for you.
