After 40.
Lower fatigue, more recovery, the same lifts. Built for guys whose forties show up in the warm-up.
Andy co-authored The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40 with Dr. Jonathon Sullivan. That book is the textbook; these are the programs. Three options for three versions of the after-40 problem.
After 40.
Strength & Mass After 40
This was the first actual template I released. I did so after getting some fantastic results with several private clients who were 40+ and looking to continue to get stronger while “getting jacked.” It’s still one of my most popular programs. This program follows a “5-3-1” approach to the main lifts. However, many clients wind up switching that up to an “8-5-2” approach after several cycles.
The Busy Dad Strength & Muscle-Building Program
Six short, focused sessions a week, designed to be done in thirty minutes or less. Strong, jacked, and fit on a real-job schedule.
The Over-60 Basic Barbell Program
A basic barbell strength program for the over-60 lifter. Two days a week. Squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press. Rack, barbell, bench.
