Josh Felber explains why ex-athletes can't train like they did in their 20s and 30s. In your 40s, 50s, and 60s, recovery slows, protein needs rise, and your body changes enough that old routines cause overtraining and injury. You have to adapt.
For the ex athlete listening here. They used to be in shape 20, 30 years ago and they still want to do that routine that got them in shape back then. But things have changed. Your body at 40, 50, 60 is not anymore the same as it was at 20, 25 and 30. Things have changed. Your recovery, your nutrient status, protein needs and so on. And following that same plan often leads to overtraining, injuries and lack of consistency in itself.
