After 30 years old, we lose 5% to 8% of our muscle mass per decade.
Quietly, very slowly.
It doesn't happen all in one day, but here's what I didn't understand.
Muscle isn't just about how you look.
It controls your insulin sensitivity, which then controls your metabolism and your energy and your digestion and your brain.
So that belly fat I was talking about earlier, that was making me feel like I was going crazy, largely because it's a muscle problem before it's a diet problem.
So I've really been focused on this.
And if you're following me on social media, you know, that's one of the big things because I lost some muscle and freaked out about it.
To actually build muscle, you have to train close to failure.
That's what a lot of the experts have talked about in this show.
Meaning your last reps have to be genuinely hard, not uncomfortable, not so you hurt yourself, but they need to be hard.
So I was working out for years and I was getting the wrong results.
Here is what I've found that's working for me these days.
I do three days a week compound movements.
So that means squats, that means hinges, that means presses, rows.
And by the way, if you have a few weights, you can do this in your bedroom if you want to.
Last two reps of every set should feel like you might not make it.
Plus, you've got to eat enough protein and you've got to give each muscle group 48 hours to recover, period.
So build a muscle, not for the mirror, even though I think you're going to like what you see in the mirror too.
Thing number five, I wish I knew I had more options.
