Most men over 40 are sabotaging their training
Most men over 40 are sabotaging their training and they don't even know it. Not in the gym. Outside of it. You can train perfectly five days a week. Right weight, right form, right mind-muscle connection. But if you're going to bed at midnight, eating junk between meals, and running on stress with no outlet, you are working against yourself every single session. Recovery is where the muscle gets built. The gym is just the stimulus. I protect my sleep like it's a business asset. Phone down early. Eyes covered. Mouth taped. I look ridiculous, and I wake up recovered. That's the trade I'll take every time. I cut out the seed oils, the alcohol, the processed junk. Not because I'm obsessed with being perfect. Because I know exactly what those things do to my recovery, my inflammation, and my hormones. The data doesn't lie. You want to know why some men in their 50s and 60s look and move better than guys in their 30s? It's not genetics. It's what they do between workouts. The gym is 20% of this. The other 80% is how you live. What's the one thing outside the gym you know you need to fix but keep putting off? Drop it below. 👇

I need to put the phone down an hour before I go to bed but I just can’t stop watching Built Different videos🙂

The flex Therapy Bar worked good for me when I had tennis elbow.
Full Body Workouts
Does anyone in here run full body workouts? I’m considering doing them 3 days a week and wondering if anyone has gotten good results from this split. I know it only gives the muscles 48 hours of rest compared to the 72 hours usually recommended but it seems like a good way to shock the muscles with more volume especially with lighter weight/higher reps.

Thanks for the feedback. Having enough energy to do the full body workouts could be an issue because that’s the problem I’m having now of push days, I feel like I have to get enough volume with 3 body parts but it’s taking to long and after 40-45 minutes I start dragging and losing interest. I will have to put a little more thought into this but i was just wondering how everyone else structured these type of workouts

Hey Guys, to become more disciplined and organized I needed to record each day, my body part, weight, reps, and sets. It may seem simple, but I have not been doing that so today’s the day to start that!

Not sure if Keith recommends an app or a way to track progress but I have started using the Hevy App the last 2 weeks and I really like it so far. The best part is it has a rest timer that you can set and goes off that I have have been setting at 45 seconds and is a game changer for me when using the lighter weights
What do people do when you have a sore muscle’s?
Get sharp pain when I lift my arm and it’s hard to do hammer curls. Two areas same side, its been this way for a couple of weeks, currently, I started lifting lighter. Well it gets better. What do other people do when something like this happens?

I’m 6 months removed from shoulder surgery and I can say that I tried to work through it for 2 years and it progressively got worse to having to finally have it cleaned up and it’s the best decision I made but should of done sooner. This is how I stumbled on built different way and is something that I wish I would have found in the early stages and hopefully you guys have so you can avoid further injury.

Will there be an option to purchase the training programs with a one time payment for those of us that might not want to commit to monthly payments?

Appreciate the quick response!!! One last question, if I decide to join premium, Is the first month of training programs geared for beginners and then each month it ramps up or is there options for people who are already experienced lifters right away? I apologize for the questions but with so much content out there and different programs, I’m just trying to find one that works right for me and I love your YouTube content
