EP 144: Building Muscle After 50, GLP-1s, Supplements & More | Q&A
Can you still build muscle after 50? Is soreness actually a sign of a good workout? Do cheat meals have a place in a healthy diet? And how do you rebuild discipline when you’ve completely fallen off? In EP 144 of Your Ultimate Comeback , Brad and Raquel open up the Q&A and tackle some of the biggest questions around training, nutrition, recovery, supplements, sleep, GLP-1s, and getting results as you get older. Brad breaks down why building muscle after 50 is absolutely still possible, but the strategy has to change. Training volume, recovery, protein, sleep, hormones, rest periods, and how you structure your workouts become increasingly important. They also share some of the health and fitness beliefs they’ve changed their minds about over the years, including Brad’s old approach to carbohydrates and Raquel’s experience with HIIT. The conversation moves into their top supplements, whether soreness really means you had a good workout, how wearables can help determine when you need a recovery day, Brad’s current nighttime routine, and his approach to cheat meals. Brad also shares his perspective on GLP-1s and why he believes they should be viewed as more than simply a shortcut for weight loss when used appropriately alongside nutrition, strength training, hydration, and other lifestyle habits. Finally, they tackle the emotional roller coaster of the scale and one of the most important questions of the episode: how do you start again after completely falling off? Brad’s answer is simple: one habit at a time. Remember: your setback doesn't have to be your ending. #YourUltimateComeback #EP144 #BradDavidson #FitnessOver50 #MuscleBuilding #StrengthTraining #GLP1 #Creatine #Recovery #HealthyAging
