    13 Years from now:
    Alan Jr. Sneaks in the door late at night.
    The kitchen light clicks on. Alan is sitting in his PJs at the table. "Welcome home, son. You sure were out late. What's that in your pocket. Show me!"
    Alan Jr: "It's nothing, dad! It's just- it's... Shaving gel and... a- a razor. The other guys from a school told me about it. I wasn't really gonna use it, honest!"
    A single tear runs down Alan's face.

    Alan, I am a big fan. You are genuine and make great sense. I am 67 years old and have been "heavy lifting" for six years. I put that in quotes, because , my PR deadlift is 275. As I never had a power lifter body, I am pretty happy with that. Regarding weight, I believe that heavy lifting and muscle mass are a great tool to having a stable weight at my age. My weight has not really varied since starting heavy lifting 6 years ago. Regarding your "ands", I have a mental trick for that. I floss and brush right after dinner. I am too lazy to eat a snack then floss and brush again. It works!!
    Thanks for your videos.

    Thanks Alan! 48 years old, with a 9 year old. I hate dad bod. Was 300 pounds 7 months ago, so got my military self together, changed my diet, and got to the gym everyday. I'm getting strong. Able to jog 6 miles, and bench over 200 with reps. I suck at squats but doing it anyhow. Starting deadlifts soon. Down to 230 now. I'm 6'6 so that's about as low as I want to be. I need a good strength program. And I like what you've been laying down the last few vids. It's speaking to me as life happens and for the past 7 days I've been unable to get to the gym. So here's to you and all the dads out there that are disciplining themselves to come up better and stronger. =)

    I went well past a Dad Bod, then became a father of 3 over the course of 5 years. Found myself looking down at a floor scale that read 297 lbs at 38% BF. That was 14 months ago, happy to report now that after an initial drop to 187lbs, I have been lifting regularly and returned to a good 195lbs at about 15%BF, hoping to settle into a good place around 205 lbs maintaining about 15% BF. Don't need a chizzled look, but do want to be a healthy active size for my boys. Thanks for the videos Allan been watching regularly for lifting tips, and just good overall entertainment.

    Alan, thanks for the excellent call on the plastic bags. I don't have a plastic bag for 6 years now because I was ignorant about the harm they cause. Also stopped abusing animals, so chicken, steak, eggs, etc are out of my diet. Yes, I am not strong like you, bit it is not diets fault (see Patrick Babumiam;surely you know).
    Hope you keep mindful of the environment and hope the next step goes also towards your food options.
