Hey, I’m Matt Perryman.
I’ve been called “the only Alabama redneck with a Southern drawl in New Zealand”.
Truth told I’m probably a letdown if you expect a redneck, even though everyone Down Under says I talk like one. I don’t know how many regular rednecks have a PhD in philosophical ethics… or create best-selling books about stress and fatigue in strength training… but we do it a little weird around here.

Who is Matt?
Ever feel like the whole fitness industry is built for 22-year-old men?
Once life crosses the odometer at age 40, your hormones, joints, life responsibilities, recovery, and goals are completely different.
Your training and eating must be completely different to adapt. Hardly anybody out there training people, or blowing up on the Instagram, talks to these needs.
I’m interested in longevity, strength, muscle, and vital energies for people in mid-life and beyond who work with lower recovery capacity, more stress, more inflammation, and metabolic issues sneaking up on you from unnoticed lifestyle habits.
I’ve been lifting weights since 1998, back when I wanted to be a muscled-up brute. Now that I’m a Gen X-er facing middle age, I’m doing my best to keep myself in prime condition, mind and body, as I get older.
If you’re over age 40, doing all the “right things” in the gym and in the kitchen but not seeing results you want, I’d like to help you.
When I wrote my much-praised book Squat Every Day, I opened the door to new ways of thinking about stress, energy, and human potential. Last I checked it had a 4.4 rating on Amazon with over 600 reviews.

We’re using the same ideas here with a different purpose:
Fat loss is a fatigue and recovery problem.
I don’t know about you but I’m pretty well exhausted with all the bro-fitness and influencer nonsense out there. I’m just trying to keep my body mobile, stay energized, and look as pretty as I can as I move into middle age and beyond.
If that sounds like something you’re into, you may as well sign up for daily(-ish) tips on how to get that energy for yourself 👇
