Jacked After 40

Calories in vs calories out is the most important factor in getting shredded after 40. But for us men over 40 who want to feel our best, perform our best, and live our lives to the fullest -- we need to think beyond calories in vs calories out.

In today's Jacked After 40 Podcast we'll dive into why the source of the calories you consume and how you burn calories throughout the day, can play a significant role in your successful body transformation.

Many of my fellow men over 40 struggle with motivation and setting goals after completing a cutting phase. With fat loss your progress is easily measured and comes at a much faster pace than gaining muscle, especially with decades spent under the bar.

Having to put in a year of work to add a mere 1-3 pounds of muscle can be demotivating, which is probably why some of my fellow bro's prefer to gain more weight during a fat loss phase. Although the excess fat won't lead to greater muscle gains, at least they know they are moving in the right direction when they see the scale going up a pound or two each week compared to seeing just 0.25 pounds and wondering if that's muscle or just excess waste in their digestive system.

So how do you stay motivated to continue improving your physique without packing on unnecessary excess fat in the process? We've got you covered in this week's episode of the Jacked After 40 Podcast.
