Summary

If you’re a man over 35 looking for a simple, effective and personalized plan to help you look, feel and perform better than you did in your 20s, head to https://muscleintelligence.com/mipapply to learn more about our upcoming programs.

One of the biggest mistakes I see my incoming clients make is doing the same type of training day in, day out and thinking they’re going to get a different result…

And maybe it worked for you once, but does that mean it’s going to work forever?

No. Here's the reality: you have to learn how to vary the stimulus to your body. Your body needs to be subjected to a diverse number of things if you want to be able to do a diverse number of things.

Boosting your physical capacity as you age requires not only strength, but also structural balance, stability, and cardiovascular fitness.

I recorded today’s episode to teach you the first big lever within my new framework of building resilience and, ultimately, longevity.

You'll learn:

How to Design the Perfect Workout - Every Time
The BIGGEST Training Mistake Most People Make
How to Assess and Improve your Physical Capability
The Solution to Your Modern Lifestyle’s Biggest Threats
The Big Differences between Hypertrophy & Strength Training

Mentioned in this Episode:

Three part video series: the 4 Areas of Resilience - where I share the four biggest challenges facing men over 35.

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Muscle Intelligence podcast.
0:11.3	We've got a solo cast for you today.
0:13.0	I've been thinking a lot around how I can maximally help you understand how to get the
0:18.9	most of your workouts.
0:23.5	And there's a lot of things that I'm focusing on lately personally in my life.
0:32.4	Really self-mastery, getting into looking at my shadows, looking at the areas of life that I have avoided.
0:34.9	And really improving that.
0:36.1	I'm also looking at longevity.
0:38.0	And a lot of those podcasts will be coming in you soon. I've been very blessed to work with some great coaches and study a lot, and
0:43.4	maybe I'm blessed to have a bit of an obsessive personality that tends to take things to a level
0:51.8	that maybe most people could benefit from.
0:55.5	So thanks for being here.
0:56.3	Today's podcast is really focused around how I think about designing the perfect workout.
1:02.0	And the perfect workout is obviously very subjective based on goals, based on the person

1:26.7	Most people really don't even know what they're physical capable of or they don't even know what they should be physically capable of. I don't love that word, but maybe what they want to be physically capable of? So when I say should be physically capable of, I think of what is this joint capable of doing, right? So if I walk through every joint in the body from the foot and ankle to
1:44.9	the knee to the hip to the spine to the shoulder girdle, and I say, well, relative to my 21-year-old
1:50.2	self, what is this joint capable of doing? Or relative to my teenage self, what is this joint
