The Truth About Supplements, Sleep and Shrinking for Longevity

Judd Lienhard is surprisingly open to questions about mortality. Behind the 250 pounds of muscle is a man unusually willing to confront what that mass means for his long-term health and to plan for its eventual disappearance. “I do not plan to be doing this when I’m 70,” he says flatly.

Look Like a Bodybuilder, Move Like an Athlete

There’s a reason Judd Lienhard’s Instagram videos make people stop scrolling: he looks like a linebacker and moves like a gymnast. It’s not just the size or the control, it’s the contradiction.
