Save Your Joints. Build More Muscle. Live Longer.

from Workouts for Older Men · host Skip La Cour

In this episode of the Workouts for Older Men Podcast, I break down one of the most important—and most misunderstood—principles for men who are a little older: More volume is NOT building more muscle. In fact, it’s probably destroying your joints and holding back your progress.I explain the real truth behind muscle growth at this stage of life, the illusion of “more is better,” and why efficiency, precision, and smart overload matter far more than marathon workouts. I also share insights from my 37 years of experience, real stories from the men I coach, and the simple changes that help older men get leaner, stronger, healthier, and more confident—without beating up their joints.This episode will help you understand why your results may have stalled, why your body is hurting, and how to train in a way that respects your age, your mission, and your longevity.If you want a training plan that fits a man with a busy, productive life—and actually delivers results—reach out to me.👉 Go to TalkWithSkip.com and fill out the short questionnaire.👉 Or text me directly at 925-352-4366.Let’s build a body that lasts.
