He’s lost the 25 lbs and put on about 5 lbs of muscle so far. It’s so important to have muscle as you get older bc you lose that every year you age. His life is so much better now.

I have the alpha grips forearm extensor trainers and anytime I feel a slight twinge in my elbow I do a few sets and it is gone.
