Fun Bonus Pod: Bart talks Maximizing Muscle After 40
Manage episode 477539386 series 3573781
We uncover the nuts and bolts of maintaining and building muscle in your 40s and 50s through optimized gym workouts. This chapter of life requires smart training strategies as our bodies don't recover as quickly as they once did.
• Seven essential concepts for building muscle past 40 years old
• Creating an effective workout split: push-pull-legs or push-pull-legs-rest-upper-lower-rest
• Selecting the right compound movements for each major muscle group
• Incorporating isolation exercises to increase volume without overloading joints
• Optimal sets per body part per week (12-20 sets depending on experience)
• Managing exertion levels without going to failure on every set (RPE 8-9)
• Eating your body weight in grams of protein daily for recovery
• Prioritizing 7-8 hours of quality sleep, with extra on weekends if possible
