DESCRIPTION

In this episode of The Fit40 Podcast, I break down everything you need to know about building muscle after 40 — without getting bulky or beating up your body. We’ll dive into the two key mechanisms that drive growth (mechanical tension and progressive overload), how to train close to failure safely, and why even TRX, kettlebells, and bodyweight work can build real strength. Whether you’re brand new to lifting or just trying to stay toned, this episode will teach you how to build muscle for energy, longevity, and confidence that lasts.
