One of the many interesting people I have met as a result of this blog is a distinguished physician/psychiatrist who treats people who have metabolic problems and are overweight or obese. He argues that I am a proof of concept for my Evolutionary Fitness Way. That is to say, I am an exemplar who represents an outcome of following the EF system, an existence proof of the efficacy of Evolutionary Fitness. Everything I say here is also true of WW who celebrates her 72th birthday this month.

In that spirit, I wanted to compare my body mass, strength, lipid and hormone profile to the 28 year old experienced weight trainers studied in an NJM article. I want to show that the conventional wisdom that aging causes a decline in muscle mass, increased obesity, a fall in testosterone, and an unfavorable alteration of blood lipids is not true. So, what are the relevant facts?
