Your Best Body at 40+ by Jeff Csatari
Most of the effects of aging are reversible. Men don’t have to get fat when they turn 40; they don’t have to lose their muscle, energy, sexual drive, mindpower, competitive edge, or anything else that modern culture associates with aging. The 40s is the most crucial time in a man’s life to get back in shape and set himself on the road to healthy, active, exciting living for decades to come. This book shows men how to take control and establish healthy lifestyle habits that will help them stay on top of their game well into their 90s.

Alpha Male Challenge by James Villepigue and Rick Collins
Men are losing their masculinity. The traditional attributes that make men “male” are blurring, and guys are urged to get in touch with their “feminine side”. This erosion of masculinity is also physical, with studies showing declines in men’s testosterone levels over the past 20 years. Today’s men need a major alpha attitude adjustment, and ‘Alpha Male Challenge’ is the 10-week plan for reclaiming the masculine, competitive edge guys need to be on top of their game in every aspect of their lives. ‘Alpha Male Challenge’ will help guys become more successful in their workouts, in their careers, and even in their relationships, as they learn to embody the everyday heroism of the alpha male.

Men’s Health Huge in a Hurry by Chad Waterbury
A gym rat himself, Chad Waterbury has developed novel training methods that run counter to many long-accepted theories and practices. Forget lifting moderate weights slowly for lots of sets and reps. Instead, Waterbury insists that the best way to get huge in a hurry is to use heavy weights and lift them quickly for fewer repetitions. The athletes and lifters he trains and the tens of thousands who read his articles on the online bodybuilding magazine “T-Nation” have been reaping the benefits.
The result is a set of groundbreaking workouts that maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of training time for quick and impressive results.
