About this episode

Jim Stoppani joins Gary Brecka to discuss muscle building strategies for those over 50, focusing on protein, leucine, and workout techniques.

Jim Stoppani, PhD, joins Gary Brecka to explain anabolic resistance, why leucine decides whether a meal builds muscle at all, and why he takes his branched-chain amino acids 30 minutes before eating instead of with the meal. Plus protein absorption from whole food versus whey versus free-form aminos, cardio versus weights when time is short, and how to train after 50 without getting hurt.
