Stop Destroying These Muscles with Overtraining After 50

If you're over 50 and training shoulders, lower back, or biceps more than twice a week, you’re not building muscle—you’re breaking it down. I’m BJ, 56-year-old natural bodybuilder, and I see this mistake destroy progress every single day.

In this episode, I break down:
✅ The 3 muscles most guys over 50 are overtraining
✅ How overtraining sabotages your strength and growth
✅ Simple fixes that respect recovery and maximize results
✅ A sample 4-week recovery protocol to get back on track

Muscles covered:
Shoulders: Stop overloading your front delts and protect your rotator cuff
Lower Back: Avoid spinal fatigue and chronic tightness
Biceps: Prevent tendon injuries and finally grow your arms

Your Challenge: Track your strength, joint health, and recovery over the next 4 weeks. I guarantee smarter training beats harder training after 50.
