Author: Funk Roberts February 19, 2023 Duration: 59:52
Muscle talk is essential. The reason behind this is that as we get older, we start losing muscle and gaining fat. Therefore, we must train our bodies smartly to gain strength, especially after 30. In this episode, I discuss this important topic with Jay "Flex" Marks.
Flex is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Coach with over 25 years of experience. He coaches men over 30 and helps them achieve & maintain their dream physiques. At the age of 47, he has successfully helped thousands of guys build the body they've always wanted, with zero cardio, fad diets, and gimmicks.


Today, we'll discuss our top muscle-building workout protocols designed to help you maximize your gains and reach your muscle-building goals. Whether you're a seasoned gym-goer or just starting out, these protocols will provide you with the knowledge and guidance you need to build the muscle you want.


So grab a notebook and get ready to take some notes because we're diving into the world of muscle-building and the workout protocols that will help you get there.


“Lots of people don’t know the difference between exercising and training. And exercising is just random exercises, and there’s no setlist, there’s no protocol, there’s no phase that you are in.” —Jay "Flex" Marks
