Episode 3: In this raw conversation from the Podcast Lair, 60-year-old bodybuilding competitor Jim Reyes breaks down how to train for longevity—not ego. Discover why you DON'T need to hit the gym 7 days a week like Jim does (he just loves it!). For most people over 40, 2-3 smart sessions per week deliver massive benefits—plus easy ways to sneak in movement like 'dad workouts' during kid routines.Jim shares his brutal rehab stories (torn triceps off the bone—twice!—from one bad exercise, pec tears, and more) and proven strategies to stay injury-free: full range of motion, prehab like dead hangs & pendulum swings, pre-exhausting muscles, and ditching heavy ego lifts or awkward moves.Plus, the game-changer after 40: gut health controls your energy. Jim explains why absorption just eating, his daily 'Tummy Tonic' routine (super greens, fiber, turmeric, ACV, chia, beet powder & more), why coffee on empty stomach is a no, and how poor gut = chronic fatigue even with good sleep/training.If you're dealing with nagging joints, low energy, or feeling 'old' in the gym—Jim shows how to train smarter, recover from setbacks, and reclaim vitality.
