## Resource

Strength training after 40 should help you do more than lift weights in the gym. It should help you stay capable, active, and strong for the life you actually want to live. Beau Baggett joins Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson to talk about building strength for backcountry hunting, family life, and long-term health. After years of running marathons and focusing on endurance, Beau realized he had the cardiovascular fitness to move through the mountains but not the strength to pack out heavy loads during hunting trips. That realization led him to Barbell Logic, where his training evolved from linear progression into a more goal-driven, conjugate-style approach. Beau explains how rotating heavy singles, specialty lifts, single-leg work, reverse hypers, belt squats, and smart accessory work have helped him keep training hard while managing recovery in his 40s. The conversation also covers early morning training, parenting young kids, protecting sleep, building a home gym, training for annual hunts, and why consistency matters more than intensity. Beau shares how his father's continued activity into his 70s inspires him to train for the long haul and how he hopes to pass that same active lifestyle on to his own kids. Strength training after 40 is not about slowing down. It is about training with purpose, adapting intelligently, and building strength you can actually use.
