Summary

"I'm not working hard enough," or "my nutrition is poor" are often the most common reasons I hear men over 35 cite to explain poor results around building muscle.

I recorded this solocast because, even though one or both of the above statements may be true, after decades of experience I can tell you that it's almost always something else - and it's probably not what you'd expect...

The reason you're not building muscle is more likely to be that you're NOT fit enough in the first place, to actually transform your body. That's what we get into on this episode.

You'll learn:

The 10 Specific Hormones that Significantly Impact Your Physique
The MOST Common Obstacle that Men Over 40 Face
3 BIG (But Simple) Factors to Manage Stress Long-term
The ONE Mindset Shift that Makes Goal Achievement Exponentially Easier
The #1 Tool to Improve Your Focus and Drive

0:00.0	Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Muslim intelligence podcast. I am our host, Ben Bikolsky.
0:12.4	Thank you for being here. I realize you have an incredible amount of information being thrown at you.
0:16.7	I do my best to provide the most valuable information for people looking to optimize body, mind,
0:23.7	performance, health, and ultimately, guys over 40 has become something close to my heart.
0:28.6	Because to be honest, I am one, and I understand what you're going through.
0:32.5	I understand what you're going through from perspective of the struggles, from the time constraints,
0:38.8	maybe from the physical limitations that maybe you're experiencing from time to time. Maybe it's a little bit harder
0:42.6	as we age. So I relate. I get it. I've been there. I've pushed my body to the highest level
0:48.7	at some point in my career. Certain things broke, right? Certain things hurt. I tore some muscles. I had some injuries. Certainly
0:55.9	early in my bodybuilding career or, you know, even before I was considered a bodybuilder,
1:01.1	I did some damage, right? I did some structural damage to my joints. I'm paying the price sometimes
1:06.9	for it now, learning how to train around it. I think it's an absolute blessing. I think all of my injuries and all of my obstacles and my challenges are blessings to me because
1:14.6	it allows me to come back and learn. Without challenges, we often don't grow, we don't learn.
1:20.6	So every time I face an obstacle, I'm grateful. And I've definitely been going through some challenges lately.
1:26.6	Physically, you know, I've got some injuries. Many of you may or may not know, I tore both my calves in my career, which is odd because of how big my calves were. Or maybe that's why I tore them. But for them both, and that's giving me some challenges. But again, we're learning to work around it. It's been an absolute blessing. So today's podcast is about the 14 reasons why
1:45.4	you're not building muscle. I thought it would be interesting for us to go into the challenges
1:49.1	you're facing and help you guys overcome them. And so after having worked with literally
1:54.2	thousands of people over the last, gosh, 23 years now I've been training people. And since
2:00.2	retiring in 2016, I've been working with a small
2:03.3	group of men high achievers and I don't work with people who are poor and want to get good
2:09.7	right not saying to say poor financially but like doing poorly and want to get to okay right I work
2:14.8	for people who are already exceptional and they want to get to world
