    Building Muscle after 60 – the Elixir of Youth

    Strength training is more and more looking like the closest thing we have to an elixir of youth. But how do you get started building muscle when you're over 60? And if you're already bitten by the iron bug, are there any changes you should make or be aware of past that age? In this episode, we try to answer all of your questions on the topic (see the timestamps below) to leave no stone unturned. Timestamps: 05:00 - The benefits of strength training for people over 60. 09:15 - Intro to building muscle after 60: sarcopenia, lower hormone levels, and blunted signals for muscle growth. 15:00 - Common questions and objections: it's too late to start, it's dangerous, and joints hurt. 22:30 - The effects of menopause: is it game over? 28:40 - What actually changes in your body after 60? 30:20 - How do you keep your connective tissue strong and healthy so it doesn't become a bottleneck? 31:30 - Do you need longer recovery time after heavy workouts when you're over 60? Would it be better to split your training into shorter, more frequent workouts? 33:40 - How to strength train when over 60. 38:30 - Are higher rep-ranges safer? 41:00 - Should we reduce or increase training volume and/or frequency as we age? 42:00 - Choosing the right training program. 44:20 - Eating for muscle, strength, and health: metabolism, macronutrients, and supplements. 52:00 - Will nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) impair muscle growth? 55:45 - Managing joint pain. 01:00:00 - Specific advice for women getting back into lifting after 60. 01:00:45 - For how long can people with impressive physiques maintain their muscle and strength as they age? 01:05:00 - What are the most impactful recovery methods? Most of these questions came in through our Subreddit. You should join the conversation over there, if you haven't already! *** Do you like what you hear so far?

    The Key to Losing as Much Fat as Possible

    Preserving your muscle mass during a weight loss diet is critical for preventing sarcopenia and maintaining metabolic health. It also means you're going to look better both clothed and naked, which is kind of sweet. So, what's the best strategy to lose mainly fat? In today's episode, we're diving headfirst into a brand-new study showing what you can do to massively increase the amount of fat you lose when dieting, while minimizing muscle loss. The study had participants do either strength training, cardio, or nothing at all – and the differences were remarkable! *** Do you like what you hear so far?

    Should You Load up on Carbs before the Gym?

    Your body uses carbohydrates to power your muscles, organs, and brain. But how important is it to eat carbs before your strength workouts? That's the topic today, and we're discussing a new meta-analysis that looked at the effects of acute carbohydrate feeding on resistance exercise performance. Or, in other words, how much (or little) carbs up to an hour before your workouts can benefit you in the gym! *** Do you like what you hear so far?

    Is a Full Range of Motion Always Best?

    The range of motion you use when lifting can have a profound effect on your strength and muscle-building results. In today's episode, we break down a brand-new meta-analysis that compares the effects of strength training at short versus long muscle lengths. By now, we're really starting to get a clearer picture of what range of motion you should aim for most of the time – and with the help of this study, we give you our recommendations regarding full range of motion, when you might benefit from doing partial repetitions, and at what muscle length those partials should be performed. Nerdy but important stuff. *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player. And hit that follow button! You can also follow us on Instagram.

    Maximal Muscle Mass in Minimum Minutes

    One of the biggest hurdles to strength training is a lack of time. Luckily, there are several advanced techniques to cram a lot of training into a short amount of time, one of the more popular ones being drop sets. In today's episode, we're discussing a new study comparing traditional strength training to drop-set training, to determine if you can achieve the same muscle growth in a fraction of the time. *** Do you like what you hear so far?

    Our Cardio Experience, One Year In

    We all know that cardio is great for us. But as lifters, cardio is seldom a passion, and many of us skip it entirely. 2025 was the year this changed for your two podcast hosts. As heavy guys, we had a hard time fitting cardio into our lives, and all efforts to build a cardio habit in the past had failed. But not this time! Both of us managed to turn things around, and although 'love' might be too strong a word, we can proudly say that cardio is something we no longer struggle with. In today's episode, we discuss what changed for us, how we successfully built our cardio habits, and what results we've seen from this after almost a full year as cardio bunnies! *** Do you like what you hear so far?
