99% of men over 40 get a few things wrong about building muscle - it’s why most of us will never build as much muscle as we’re actually capable of.
The truth is, as we get older, most of us end up losing muscle mass. But here’s the deal. Just because we’re getting older, it doesn’t mean our muscle gains have to slow down.
Research shows that older men can build just as much muscle as younger men.
This study, for example, compared the effects of resistance training on older men, ages 35-50 and younger men, ages 18-22. Not only did the older men gain just as much strength as the younger men, but they also gained 17% more muscle mass.
The question then becomes, why are most men over 40 gaining less muscle as we get older?
That’s exactly what I want to share in this video: a few things most men over 40 get wrong about building muscle.
And make sure you watch til the end, because I’m gonna share the exact workout program you can follow to make sure you’re getting bigger and stronger as you age.
