Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

In this episode, I break down Cardio For Lifters Over 30 (Benefits, Splits, Progressions)

I go through the biggest mistakes lifters make with cardio and how to structure it so it actually improves your training. We talk about progressive overload for cardio, how to track progress, and the difference between interval and steady-state work. I also explain how to periodize cardio during building phases and fat loss phases.

Cardio is one of the most underrated tools for lifters, especially after 30. If you’ve avoided it because you thought it would hurt muscle growth, this episode explains why cardio might actually be the thing improving your body composition, recovery, and performance.
