A huge new study involving 150,000 participants, and 30 years of data has just confirmed what we've always believed: lifting weights helps you live longer. In this episode, Frank and Katie break down what the research actually says, what 90 minutes a week of strength training can do for your health, and why it's never too late to start. Whether you're a complete beginner or just need a reminder of why you bother showing up,this one's for you.

Can lifting weights slow how fast your brain ages?A new study used brain scans to measure exactly that. The results show that resistance training is a uniquely beneficial tool for brain health that works through different pathways than cardio.Lifting weights can make the brain test younger on functional MRI, and the benefits may keep compounding even long after you train. Learn what brain age measures, why the prefrontal cortex matters for Alzheimer's and cognitive aging, the muscle-to-brain signaling system activated by strength training, and how heavy lifting compares to moderate intensity for protecting the brain after 40. Plus a quick self-check for strength-related dementia risk, especially after 40. Enroll in Eat More Lift Heavy, the 26-week coached program where adults over 40 build the nutrition and training skills to lift heavy, build muscle, lose fat, and stay strong and sharp for decades. Timestamps:0:00 - Lifting weights and brain aging 0:47 - Dementia risk and strength training over 40 3:58 - Aerobic exercise and the hippocampus 6:00 - Prefrontal cortex and muscle signaling 7:48 - Recent study and brain age scans 10:21 - Brain age gap and dementia risk 11:30 - Results across both lifting intensities 13:12 - Myokines, irisin, and BDNF 16:57 - How to build skills for lifting weights 18:30 - Lifting protocol for brain health 20:45 - Entry points for new lifters 24:15 - Grip strength and dementia risk

Is pumping iron the key to a long life? A Harvard study involving more than 147,000 people found lifting weights for two hours a week reduced the risk of early death. Frank spoke to top PT Tiernan McCarthy Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Strength training is having a massive moment for women in midlife, but it comes with a silent side effect showing up in clinical offices: pelvic organ prolapse. In this "15-Minute Consult," Dr. Rachel Pope sits down with Dr. Jessica Jenkins, PT, DPT, ATC, to discuss how to protect your pelvic floor while lifting heavy, managing internal abdominal pressure, and keeping your organs exactly where they belong.Key Takeaways: Prolapse Isn't Just for Older Women: Heavy lifting can bring undetected pelvic organ prolapse to light even in young, active women in their 20s who have never given birth. The Danger of Holding Your Breath: Holding your breath or bearing down (Valsalva) during standard strength training acts exactly like straining on the toilet, sending massive downward pressure straight onto your bladder and uterus. The Golden Rule of Lifting: When the movement gets hard, breathe out. On the exertion phase (like pushing up from a squat), exhale, pull in your lower abs, and engage your pelvic floor (Kegel) to push the pressure upward. Listen to Your Body: Experiencing a distinct heaviness or a "tampon is stuck inside" sensation during or after a workout means the weight is too heavy, the pace is too fast, or your mechanics need a reassessment. Underutilized Support Tools: Pessaries (silicone support rings) can be worn strictly as "sports gear" to physically support tissues during workouts. Localized estrogen is also highly effective for restoring tissue extensibility before diving into core rehab. The Power of Hypopressives: This specialized vacuum-breathing technique creates negative pressure in the abdomen, involuntarily lifting the pelvic floor up and in to help train the abdominal wall to support internal organs.Quick Training Tips: Never hold your breath during the exertion or lifting portion of an exercise. Exhale and contract your pelvic floor as you lift to redirect internal pressure safely toward your diaphragm.About Guest Expert Dr. Jessica Jenkins:Dr. Jessica Jenkins is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Athletic Trainer, and the founder of the Cleveland Pelvic Wellness Center. Driven by her own experience navigating a pelvic floor injury as a competitive cross-country and track athlete, she blends sports medicine principles with specialized pelvic floor rehabilitation to help active individuals master core stability and pressure management.Connect & Resources: Learn More About Dr. Jenkins: Cleveland Pelvic Wellness Center Watch on YouTube: Our Womanity ChannelFree Resources: Get your free copies of: ➡️ The Proactive Perimenopause Guide➡️ "She's Just Under Construction" partner GuideDisclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In this episode, I answer 10 common questions about training close to failure—one of the most misunderstood topics in strength training and muscle growth. I cover what “training to failure” actually means, whether beginners should do it, how close to failure you really need to train for muscle growth, why many people underestimate workout intensity, and whether pushing every set to the limit is actually helping or hurting your progress.

How much lifting is too much vs. too little? What about cardio?

Kenny Webster interviews JD Shipley of Starting Strength. 

Rest periods are one of the most ignored parts of training, and they're often the reason you're exhausted but not actually getting stronger. This episode of Broads is about removing the guesswork. We break down what rest periods do, why more sweat doesn't equal better results, and how mismatching your rest to your goal can stall progress without you realizing it. If your lifts feel inconsistent, your workouts feel randomly hard or way too easy, or you're spending forever in the gym without seeing results, your rest between sets might be the missing piece. That's what this episode is all about. What's Discussed: (00:48) Why rest periods are an overlooked driver of strength and muscle gains (03:25) ATP, creatine phosphate, and what actually recovers between sets (05:03) How rest determines strength, hypertrophy, or endurance outcomes (06:51) Why heavy lifts require three to five minutes of rest (07:46) Using shorter rest to create metabolic stress for muscle growth (09:13) How short rest trains fatigue tolerance and muscular endurance (10:52) What breaks when rest is too short or too long (15:41) Why timing rest separates training from random workouts Head to https://www.broads.app/broadscoach and apply for BroadsCOACH.

But what if strength training is itself a form of cardio?What if you're ignoring one of the most effective tools for lowering blood pressure, improving cholesterol, and reducing your risk of heart disease?Philip breaks down the evidence showing that strength training lowers blood pressure on par with first-line medication, improves HDL and LDL cholesterol, enhances insulin sensitivity, and reduces visceral fat, all independent of cardio. You'll learn why your muscle tissue functions as a metabolic organ that regulates blood sugar, why adults who lift have up to 17% lower cardiovascular disease risk, and how to program your lifting sessions to get a real cardiovascular training effect without adding time on the treadmill. Philip also answers listener Jack R.'s question comparing cardio and lifting head-to-head for fat loss, muscle building, and long-term sustainability after 40. Whether you're already strength training over 40 or still treating the weight room as optional for heart health and longevity, this episode gives you the evidence-based case for making lifting your foundation.Timestamps:0:00 - Why "cardio for your heart" is incomplete 1:43 - The 2023 AHA statement about lifting weights and heart health 5:28 - How strength training lowers blood pressure as much as medication 7:11 - Nitric oxide, arterial stiffness, and improved blood vessels 9:27 - Cholesterol, triglycerides, and ApoB improvements 13:17 - Why muscle is your most powerful metabolic organ for insulin and blood sugar 15:20 - Cardio vs. lifting for fat loss and building muscle after 40 18:01 - Visceral fat, inflammation, and menopause 19:47 - Can lifting weights improve VO2max? 22:01 - Longevity data and the minimum dose of strength training for heart health 23:57 - How to get cardiovascular benefits WITHOUT extra cardio 26:04 - Rest periods, compound movements, and rep ranges for heart-healthy lifting 28:59 - Weekly template combining strength training and walking 30:59 - Physical reserve and why strength protects your heart all day 33:04 - Bonus: 10-second heart rate recovery test you can do between sets

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted engages with Mike Bledsoe, a performance philosopher and leadership coach, discussing the journey of men in pursuit of success and fulfillment. They explore themes of emotional resilience, self-awareness, and the transformative power of fear. Mike shares his personal experiences, including his transition from fitness coaching to emotional development, and the importance of understanding one's emotions as a pathway to personal growth. The conversation culminates in the introduction of the Full Stack community, aimed at helping men navigate their emotional landscapes and achieve sustainable success.   Takeaways Men often feel isolated and unfulfilled despite chasing success. Self-awareness is crucial for personal growth and transformation. Fear can be a powerful motivator if understood correctly. Emotional intelligence is key to achieving peak performance. Personal development requires a balance between heart and mind. The body holds significant intelligence that informs our emotions. Relationships can serve as mirrors for personal growth. It's important to embrace emotions rather than suppress them. Finding peace can enhance passion and productivity. The journey of self-discovery is ongoing and multifaceted.   Chapters  00:00 – Awakening A Cycle Of Clarity (Teaser) 00:47 – Introduction to the Modern Man Podcast 02:02 – Meet Mike Bledsoe: A Journey of Transformation 03:41 – The Evolution of Self-Awareness 07:35 – The Role of Fear in Success 15:07 – Finding Peace Amidst Achievement 20:11 – Rewiring Relationships with Fear and Success 27:50 – Understanding Success and Awareness 28:57 – The Body as a Gateway to Awakening 37:51 – Emotional Intelligence and Its Impact 49:09 – The Full Stack Community and Its Mission   Bledsoe's Links Website: bledsoe.life  YouTube: MikeBledsoe Instagram: mike_bledsoe Free eBook Here: Mastering Self-Development: Strategies of the New Masculine: https://rebrand.ly/m2ebook   ⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️ https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights  

This episode might shake some foundations.Because we're diving into something almost no one talks about… But it might be the single most misunderstood and misused variable in your training.Rest. That's right. Rest periods.And no — I'm not talking about sleeping at night or taking a rest day. I'm talking about those 30 seconds... 60 seconds... 2 minutes... The space between your sets.Most people I coach — whether in my group fitness classes or one-on-one — they think just because they're lifting weights, they're doing strength training. But that's not how the body works.You can be holding a barbell and still not be strength training.What determines whether your training builds strength, muscle, endurance, or just gets you sweaty — Isn't the exercise. It's the stimulus. And REST is a major part of that stimulus.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Today's episode delves into the science-backed benefits, safety, and programming principles of youth resistance training. We're here to bust common myths: lifting won't stunt growth! In fact, it's more crucial than ever for children to engage in resistance training.Curious about what resistance training looks like for kids? Wondering about strength gains before puberty or the safety of 1-rep max testing? We've got you covered. Resistance training is a safe, smart, and essential way to build a strong foundation, prevent injuries, and boost confidence. It's not about creating tiny bodybuilders, but rather improving movement quality and overall well-being. With proper supervision, good technique, and a fun environment, resistance training can become a valuable lifelong skill.Links: AAP Clinical Report (2020, reaffirmed 2024)Brain BalanceKidStrong The information shared in this podcast is not intended as medical advice.

In this episode, we break down one of the most misunderstood parts of training, lifting heavy. Whether you're a runner, a beginner, or someone looking to build strength safely, you'll learn how to start lifting with proper form, build confidence under the bar, and use science-backed strategies like progressive overload and optimal rest.We'll cover everything from movement mastery to how many days a week you actually need to train, and why heavy lifting isn't just safe, but essential for long-term performance, injury prevention, and metabolic health.To close, we shift into a 10-minute mini mindset reset on creating a training routine you'll actually stick with. You'll walk away with tangible mindset tools, flexible structure, and habits that keep you showing up, even when life gets messy.www.trainmk.com@melissa_kendter- A 2014 systematic review and meta-analysis in the British Journal of Sports Medicine- The LIFTMOR trial (2017)- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24100287/- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30131332/

In today's episode, Róisín Ingle is joined by women's health and fitness coach Elaine Gillespie, to talk about the transformative power of lifting weights and strength training. From navigating fitness during perimenopause to returning to exercise postpartum, Gillespie explains why lifting weights isn't just for bodybuilders - it's essential for women's health, energy, and confidence at every stage of life. The pair discuss gym intimidation, how to get started if you're a total beginner, and how to tell the difference between your dumbbell and your barbell. Gillespie also shares her own personal fitness journey following the birth of her two children and why she left her career as an estate agent to set up the Kildare based fitness group, Sound Mamas. But first, Irish Times opinion editor Jennifer O'Connell is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week including a quick de-brief on the two women hoping to become the next Irish president and why the lyrics of CMAT's latest song are resonating with so many.
