The 3-step formula every man over 40 should use if he’s serious about “losing weight.”
If you're a man over 40 trying to lose weight, you might be making one big mistake. **You're focusing on weighing less instead of building a better body.** I've used this 3-step formula since the 1990s, and in this video, I'll explain why I believe it's a smarter approach to getting leaner, stronger, and staying capable as you age. Here's the formula: 1. **Get strong and build muscle.** 2. **Eat a protein-dominant diet.** 3. **Add cardio when necessary.** I'll explain why I p

Grab a copy of Rebuilt After 40 and use either Schedule A or Schedule B (and mix it with the Squat and bodyweight exercises) 👉 https://go.chasingstrength.com/rebuilt-after-40/ The kettlebell Clean + Press is one of the most effective exercises you can use to build strength, muscle, conditioning, and work capacity.

More reps. More volume. More time. But what if you’re starting at the wrong end? What if you built more CAPABILITY first? Then expanded your CAPACITY from there? That’s the idea behind this video: **CAPABILITY before CAPACITY.** Before you can do 10 reps, you have to be capable o
