Why Getting Older Makes It Easier Than Ever to Stand Out

July 22, 2025 | Episode 5142

Host: Scott Smith

Episode Description

Scott gets fired up about his latest fitness transformation and shares why being a "grandfluencer" might be your secret weapon. He's lost 19 pounds, gained 10 pounds of muscle, and discovered that getting older actually makes it easier than ever to stand out from the crowd.

In this longer-format episode, Scott breaks down his exact 4-day workout routine, his 1600-calorie daily diet strategy, and why most people are training for their "before" picture instead of their "after" picture. Get ready for some real talk about aging, fitness, and why now might be your time to become the king or queen of the prom.

Featured Story

Scott opens up about his complete body transformation journey that started before his hip replacement surgery. Determined not to "get old," he's been strictly training for eight weeks and working out consistently for a year.

The results speak volumes: 19 pounds lost, 10 pounds of muscle gained, bench pressing 260 pounds, and feeling better than he has in years. His story proves that you can rewrite your fitness story at any age, and it all started with refusing to accept that a hip replacement meant becoming his grandfather.

Important Points

Most people age poorly and become out of shape, which creates an incredible opportunity for you to stand out in ways that were never possible when you were younger.

You can successfully lose fat and gain muscle simultaneously by eating at least one gram of protein per pound of body weight while maintaining a caloric deficit.

Weekend "cheat days" destroy your progress because they represent 25% of your month, which means you're reducing your results by at least a quarter.

Memorable Quotes

"Once you get older, it's easier than ever to stand out in the crowd in ways that were never possible when you were younger."

"Can you imagine you can now be the king or queen of the old homecoming dance?"

"I've spent a good amount of my life training for my before picture."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

Create a default diet with just two breakfast options and two lunch options that you eat consistently without variation to eliminate decision fatigue and ensure accurate tracking.

Follow a simple 4-day resistance training schedule: chest on Monday, back on Tuesday, rest Wednesday, and legs on Friday, doing three exercises, four sets, 12 reps to failure.

Track your dinner calories by knowing your morning and midday totals, then ask yourself "How many calories for dinner tonight?" to stay within your daily target.
