Where did this belly come from? The scale barely moved, but nothing fits the same. If you're over 40, you're not imagining it.

Herman and Brooks take on the menobelly question: why fat starts landing in your middle now, why muscle loss speeds up, and why the old playbook still works even though the margin for error shrank. Also in this one: what exercise actually does for fat loss, the core strength piece nobody mentions, and a David Goggins quote that gets a full teardown.
