I have read at our age over training can spike cortisol and make midsection fat increase. What is considered over training ? And is this true??

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.

When unexpected challenges arise, it can disrupt your diet and exercise routine. However, it's crucial to view these interruptions as temporary distractions rather than permanent setbacks. This past week I had a house full of family members my wife and I were entertaining. Really frustrating when my routine gets broken but right back at it today.

Most of you likely heard of Eugen Sandow, the famous strongman and body builder. He was born in 1867 and trained using progressive weights, starting up the modern body building sport. His statue is presented at the Mr Olympia competition. I’m reading a history book and came upon this passage: “”…he maintained that to create great strength required more than exercise. “A careful study of the laws of hygiene and anatomy” was required. He also advised against overdoing bodybuilding. “The wise man will continue to live so long as his egotism remains dormant.”” Keith strongly advises to leave your ego at the door just as Sandow did over 100 years ago!
