About this episode

This episode provides a practical guide for training across decades to ensure longevity and physical capability into older age.

Are you training for your future, or just to make gains today? In this episode, I dive into the research and my long term professional work to provide a practical, decade-by-decade blueprint for longevity. From building your metabolic reserve in your 30s to preserving neuromuscular power in your 60s, learn how to shift your programming to ensure your body is as capable at 70 as it is today.
