Episode #1122 Are you working out too hard and actually slowing your progress? A lot of men hit their 40s and try to train like they're still in their 20s. More days, more weight, more intensity. But instead of getting stronger, they end up injured, exhausted, and stuck. In this episode, Doug sits down with Dr. Phil Batterson, a PhD in exercise physiology, to break down what actually works for men who want to get fit without burning out. They get into what "minimum effective dose" really means when it comes to exercise, and why three workouts a week might be all you need to see real progress. You'll also hear why most men underestimate the role of stress, sleep, and nutrition, and how ignoring recovery can quietly sabotage your results. If you've ever pushed too hard, gotten injured, or felt like your body just doesn't respond the way it used to, this conversation will help you reset and build a smarter approach. This isn't about doing more. It's about doing what actually works. If you know something feels off in your marriage, the fastest way to fix it is to understand exactly what's not working.
