Rest Period
Something I want every guy in here to understand about training over 40: Your rest periods are not just rest. They're part of the workout. I keep it to 30–45 seconds max between sets. Not because some program says so. Because I know that once you let that window stretch to 3, 4, 5 minutes, you lose the synergy. You lose the pump. You lose the muscle connection you just spent 3 sets building. Get in. Work the muscle. Move on. Get out. You're not training to impress anyone. You're training to feel it, grow it, and protect it. That's the approach. That's what we do. What's your rest time between sets right now? Vote below, and drop a comment if you're going to change it this week.

Have gone almost exclusively to 3-4 drop sets starting with moderate down to light weight keeping rest to 30-45 seconds. Legs a little longer. Incredible pump!
This Saturday
I'll be answering your questions on training, recovery, building muscle after 40, nutrition - whatever you're stuck on. Most men our age are getting generic advice built for 25-year-olds. This is a call where you get direct answers built for where you actually are. Drop your question below before Saturday and I'll make sure it gets covered. - Keith 💪

I'm interested in your opinion, experience and some enlightenment on TRT. I'm not very fond of the medical monopoly anyway and I have always tried to follow natural cures and treatments, but am still open-minded enough to hear what you might want to share about this. Thank you!
QUICK CHECK-IN
This community only works if we all show up. I started it, but the value comes from you guys - engaging, posting, holding each other accountable. We're over 250 members now. Use the map feature to find guys near you, or just drop a post and let us know how things are going 💪🏻 I made a poll for you guys to vote - Where are you at right now with training consistency? What's actually stopping you from being more consistent? Time? Energy? Motivation? Injury? Just being honest with yourself? Vote below and let us know. Let's see where everyone's at. If you guys do have questions or need help - just ask.

I'm 78. Been at the weights since high school and most of my life. My goal is to stay with it for my duration. All in all I'm in very good health, eating 90/10% good diet with a couple key supplements. My so-called ego is pretty much gone and I really enjoy the pump and burn with lighter weights. I prefer a Mon - Thurs schedule to allow for recuperation. Legs, back, chest, shoulders on Mon. Legs and arms (bis, tris, forearms) on Thurs. Keith, I love your videos and your approach to all this. You are doing a fantastic job!
