Can You Build Muscle When You’re Older? Yes — And You Must
from Workouts for Older Men · host Skip La Cour
Can you build muscle when you are older?Absolutely. In this episode of the Workouts for Older Men podcast, I explain why the answer is yes—and why building muscle becomes even more important as you get older. I share why muscle is about much more than appearance. It's protection against becoming fragile, confidence in your everyday life, independence as you age, and proof that your body can still respond when you train intelligently, eat properly, recover effectively, and stay consistent.I'll also explain why many older men mistakenly believe they're not building muscle when they're actually losing body fat and changing their body composition, why strength training is one of the most important investments you can make at this stage of life, and what you need to focus on to maximize your results.If you're a man who wants to build muscle, lose body fat, increase your energy, and become stronger, healthier, and more capable as you get older, this episode is for you.And if you'd like my personal help creating a customized plan to build muscle, lose body fat, and get the most out of your fitness efforts at this stage of your life, go to TalkWithSkip.com and fill out the questionnaire.
