I break down the reality of building muscle after 30, including recovery, consistency, strength training, busy adult life, and common myths around ageing and fitness.
In this episode, I answer 10 common questions about building muscle after 30, including recovery, strength training, consistency, busy adult life, and whether it’s actually harder to get in shape as you get older.
I discuss common mistakes that make people feel physically older than they should, whether training needs to change after 30, how recovery and lifestyle impact muscle growth, and whether it’s too late to make serious progress if you’ve restarted your fitness journey multiple times.
