Episode notes
Train Older Muscles Wisely
- Older bodybuilders should avoid heavy compound upper body movements to protect shoulders and elbows.
- Smaller muscles like arms and calves can tolerate and even benefit from higher volume and frequency training.
Adjust Macros Smartly
- On a cut, keep protein high and reduce carbs first, avoiding excessively low carbs below 150 grams daily.
- On a bulk, focus on slow weight gain, judge progress mostly by photos, and avoid high fats which store easily as fat.
Short Bulks, Annual Competes
- Avoid year-plus offseasons as long bulks lead to insulin resistance and fat gain.
- Compete annually to gain experience, with about 16-20 week offseasons, followed by cruise and prep phases.
