The Pain and Performance Podcast

Why Most People Stop Getting Stronger as They Age (RPE Explained)


Listen Later

In this mini episode, Dr. Derrick Hines explains why strength gains often stall as people get older — and why it’s usually not because of age itself.

This conversation breaks down the misunderstanding around effort, intensity, and recovery, and introduces a smarter way to think about training as the body changes. Rather than avoiding challenge, the episode highlights how properly applied intensity is essential for maintaining strength, resilience, and independence over time.

Topics Covered:

Why strength decline is not inevitable with age

The role of effort and intensity in strength gains

Common training mistakes that limit progress

How to challenge the body safely and effectively

Why strength is foundational for long-term health

🎧 Tune in to learn how to keep building strength and capacity at any age.
