Today we're gonna talk about how men over 40 should be setting up the ideal workout to maximize your muscle, maximize your strength, and maybe most importantly, move really well at any age.
I've been training for, gosh, 30-plus years and made every mistake under the sun.
In fact, I've had every goal under the sun, accomplished most of my goals, and now as a man of 45, wanting to be an amazing athlete at 45, 55, 65, and certainly beyond, the thing that is most important to me above all is moving well.
And I think one of the biggest mistakes that people are making is thinking moving well means I need to stretch.
Gentlemen, if you're listening, if you're paying attention, if you're someone who goes to the gym consistently, stretching is only part of the equation.
Getting into those positions is extremely important, but it's not the full part of the equation.
This podcast is gonna talk you through how I think about mobility, how I think about movement quality, how I think about strength, and ultimately how I think about muscle building as a man over 40.
It's different at 45 than it was when I was 35 for sure, and I'm sure it's gonna be different at 55.
In fact, I work with men 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond now, and I notice it's very different, and so what I'm doing is putting together a strategy to make sure that I continue to move well.
