Thank you! We are just getting started!

@Jason Stoker Great question and this is something a lot of guys struggle with when transitioning to the volume approach. Here’s how I think about progression. Instead of asking can I add more weight? ask can I add more quality reps with this weight? If you’re doing 12 reps and they’re controlled with good tension throughout, try hitting 15 with that same weight before you even think about going heavier. When you can hit the top of your rep range for all your sets with perfect form and still feel the muscle working on every rep, then consider a small bump in weight. The goal isn’t to lift heavier. The goal is to create more stimulus over time. You can do that by adding reps, adding sets, slowing down the tempo, or improving the mind muscle connection. Adding weight is just one tool and honestly it’s the one most likely to get you hurt at 50. The weights I use in the videos look light because I’m focused on tension and control, not impressing anyone. That approach is why I’m still building muscle at 60 instead of nursing injuries. Focus on feeling the muscle work. The strength will come as a byproduct. Welcome to the community.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🙌🏻 Thank you for the share. This is what it’s all about!

Great to hear Justin. What's your current split looking like - how many days a week are you training legs? 💪🏼

Glad to have you back Matthew 💪🏻

@Carsten Breum this is what it's all about. One session with the right approach and you're already feeling the difference. Sore in all the right places, joints feel fine, and you're excited about training again. That's the Built Different philosophy in action. Also want you to hear this clearly because you said something important. You thought your time of growing bigger was over. It's not. Not even close. You're 60 years old, you just proved to yourself in one workout that your muscles still respond when you train them properly. The only thing that was done growing was the old approach. This is just the beginning of the next chapter for you. Keep going with the lighter weight, controlled reps, focus on the muscle working. Post your progress in here. I want to see where you are in 30 days.

@John Hicks That comment from your student says it all. What's the elbow feeling like now - any pain during curls or pressing, or just stiffness? 🫵🏻
