A lot of people online will tell you VO2max is the number one indicator of longevity. I draw a firm line at a hard: Maybe. VO2max clearly matters. But if you want to do more work in less time — or the same amount of work more efficiently — you need the ability to produce force quickly.  That’s power. Power = Work / Time. And that’s the P in the RSMP Method — POWER. Recent research from the CLINIMEX cohort followed nearly 4,000 adults between 46 and 75 for almost 11 years. One of the most interesting findings? Men with the lowest muscle power relative to bodyweight were 5.88 times more likely to die than the men with the highest. When researchers looked at grip strength in the ...

Kettlebell MAXIMORUM: https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-maximorum-e / Research: 1- Guys in their 60s and early 70s MORE THAN DOUBLED their leg strength in just 12 weeks. Men between 60 and 72 increased one measure of leg strength by 107%... and another by a whopping 227%.  And it wasn’t just some fancy testing trick. They actually built muscle, too. In their 60s. And 70s. In only 12 weeks. (Frontera et al., 1988, Journal of Applied Physiology.) 2- And this wasn’t some one-off fluke. Researchers looked at 47 different studies involving 1,079 adults over 50. On average, resistance training increased strength by roughly 25–33%. But here’s the part I really like... Getting older didn’t make people less capable of getting stronger. In other words, your body doesn’t suddenly lose its ability to respond to strength training just because you’ve got a few more candles on the birthday cake. (Peterson et al., 2010, Ageing Research Reviews.) 3- You can still build muscle AND strength w...

If you want to build high-quality, usable muscle, then I built this program specifically for guys over 40. Check it out here. https://go.chasingstrength.com/rebuilt-after-40/ And if you want to build up to a pound of muscle a week using a pair of kettlebells in as little as an hour a week? You’ll want to use this one. https://kettlebellmuscle.com Every man over 40 should be focused on building and maintaining muscle. But what’s the best way to do it? In this video, I break down the 2 main types of muscle growth and explain which one I think is more useful for guys our age. This is the “M” in the RSMP Method — MUSCLE. As we get older, muscle becomes increasingly important. Your fast-twitch muscle fibers are the ones responsible for producing high levels of force. They help you: Lift more weight. Move faster. Jump higher. And as you age, they also play an important role in helping you stay capable, strong, and harder to knock off balance. I also like to think of muscle as your metabolic ...

If you're new to kettlebell training, use this program here. It tackles your technique, your neural strength training, and your structural / functional strength training. https://salutis.kartra.com/page/BIG-6-w-bonus And if you want to fast track your results by using a pair of kettlebells, use this program to train your technique, your neural strength, and your structural / functional strength. https://cart.chasingstrength.com/strong4 Why do so many men get weaker as they get older — and what’s the best way to get strong after 40 without spending 1–2 hours a day working out? That’s what I’m breaking down in this video. When I was a young trainer and coach, I saw “senior training” marketed constantly. Chair curls. 3–5 lb dumbbells. Stability balls. That’s not strength training. That’s babysitting. And that’s exactly why the S in the RSMP Method stands for STRENGTH. For men over 40, strength needs to stay a priority. Current research keeps pointing to grip strength and leg strength ...

Test this out for yourself - watch the demo video with Fabio and do the drills as he does them at the link below.  👉 https://go.chasingstrength.com/sore-joint-solution-e/ Feel like your shoulder, lower back, or hamstrings are “locked up” no matter how much you stretch, foam roll, or train? That’s the problem I’m breaking down in this video. You can keep pressing. Keep swinging. Keep stretching. Keep doing mobility drills. And still feel like your body won’t give you access to the range of motion — or the muscle — you’re trying to use. Here’s the big idea: You cannot make a muscle stronger if you can’t get to it. And you can’t grow it very well either. If a joint won’t move through its full range, your body finds another way to get the job done. You compensate. You work around the restriction. And after enough years, that workaround starts to feel “normal.” I know because I spent years doing exactly what the fitness industry told me to do. Stretching. Foam rolling. Corrective exerc...

This is the plan I recommend you use for your BIG R work if you don’t currently have one – the same one I use myself. 👉 https://go.chasingstrength.com/sore-joint-solution-e/ There’s a lot of noise online about the “best” way to train after 40. I’ve been training men in this age group since 1996, I’m over 50 myself, and I still catch myself thinking:  “Yeah, but back in the day I could…” That’s exactly why I use the RSMP Training Method. In this video, I’m breaking down the first part: R = Restoration / Reclamation / Rejuvenation I call it The BIG R. For me, this starts with joint health and muscle pliability. If your joints don’t work well, your muscles aren’t going to work well either. Restricted range of motion, stiffness, soreness, tightness, and especially pain can interfere with how the muscles around a joint function. One of the mechanisms involved is called Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition — AMI. I know this firsthand. I dealt with chronic knee pain for 25 years. Toward the en...
