For men 40+ who are done with the bullshit

No BS. No Broscience.
Just Answers.

For men who Google fitness questions at 11pm and regret it.

No spam. No "10 secrets to shredded abs." Just updates when we launch.

The fitness industry is broken.

And it's broken on purpose. Confused people buy programs, supplements, and coaching.

Conflicting information everywhere

One article says carbs are evil, the next says eat pasta. Both have "PhD" in the author bio.

Influencer worship

CBum's regime isn't for you. You have a job, responsibilities, and a Pingo Doce loyalty card.

Unrealistic timelines

"12-week transformation" started from a base of 10 years training, a chef, and a pharmacy.

Supplement overload

You've bought every supplement known to mankind. Your cabinet looks like a pharmacy. Still confused.

And around we go

The Mind Fuck Cycle

Sound familiar? You're not alone.
Unrealistic goal (Thor on the wall)
Start program with insane motivation
"Why don't I look different yet?"
"This isn't working"
"Maybe I can't do this"
Quit • switch programs • buy new supplement
New unrealistic goal
REPEAT FOR YEARS

The problem was never the program

The problem was the GOAL

The Phantom Take

On Influencer Grocery Hauls

"Nobody in Lisbon is buying high-altitude-fair-trade-activated-quinoa. You have chicken thighs and rice. That's a meal. Stop making this weird."

On Hollywood Transformations

"That actor got shredded in 12 weeks because he had a personal chef, trainer, sleep coach, and a pharmacy. You have a full-time job and a Pingo Doce loyalty card. Adjust expectations accordingly."

On Meal Prep

"If your meal prep requires a label maker and 47 identical containers, you've built a job, not a system. Cook meat. Put it in the fridge. Eat it during the week. This isn't rocket science."

On Your Goal Physique

"You've had a picture of CBum on your wall for 3 years. Chris Bumstead is 175cm. You're 194cm. His proportions literally cannot exist on your skeleton. Let's figure out what the best version of YOUR frame looks like."
