Episode notes
Fitness Over 40 Is Different, Not Impossible
- Fitness after 40 is different, not strictly harder; wisdom often offsets physical decline.
- Mobility, accrued injuries, and repetitive-job patterns create new constraints that require different strategies.
Prioritize Compound Lifts With Regressions
- Prioritize compound, gross-motor lifts like squats for maximum bang-for-buck in muscle and strength gains.
- Use regressions like box squats to build mobility and technique toward full barbell squats safely.
Use Deadlift Variations To Bulletproof The Back
- Include deadlift variations (trap bar/RDLs) to strengthen the posterior chain and improve posture.
- Use trap bar deadlifts as an accessible alternative to barbell deadlifts for most clients.
