In this interview we cover the practical science of building and maintaining muscle as you age with a focus on what actually matters for healthspan and independence. We discuss how much training older adults really need, why power matters more than strength for fall prevention, and how to think about loads and reps after 60. Brad also explains why protein requirements increase with age, what the leucine threshold is and why it matters, and gives his frank assessment of the supplement landscape including the one he thinks has genuine evidence behind it. We also touch on VO2 max, balance, flexibility and the role of consistency. A practical, evidence-based conversation for anyone serious about staying strong and independent as they age. 📚 Chapters 0:00 Why muscle matters for longevity and healthspan 4:06 Strength vs power;which predicts how long you live? 7:30 Sarcopenia; what it really means and can it be reversed? 11:09 How much do you actually need to train after 60? 15:53 Reps, loads and how hard to push 17:45 The case for power training and injury risk 25:19 Machines vs free weights; what actually matters? 33:01 Optimising recovery as you age 36:25 Protein, leucine and the supplement question 46:04 Does cardio still matter?
