Summary

In this Iron Radio episode, hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss the realities of training after 50, including recovery changes, hormonal shifts, accumulated injuries, and the steep age-related decline curve that research shows after the mid-50s. The conversation covers shifting from strength sport specificity toward physique-based training, maintaining rate of force development safely, the importance of sleep and micronutrition, collagen supplementation for connective tissue, and why doing something always beats doing nothing.
