Ep 9. Harder to Kill: Your Over 50 Gym Blueprint

Kevin English Episode 9

Ready to trade in that dad bod for a battle-hardened body? In this episode of The Alpha Edge Podcast, I’m joined by Coach Russell for a no-BS conversation on everything gym-related for men over 50.

 

Whether you’re just starting out, haven’t seen a dumbbell since high school, or you're ready to level up your strength game - this episode is your blueprint. We’re diving deep into our personal gym journeys (from clueless newbies to confident lifters), smashing through gym intimidation, and laying out exactly how to build a training space that works for your life - whether that’s a home gym, a commercial gym, or a hardcore powerlifting dungeon.

 

If you’ve ever walked into a gym and felt like everyone was judging you (spoiler: they’re not), or if you just need a kick in the ass to start lifting heavy things and getting strong - this one's for you.

 

In This Episode:

  • Our first gym experiences - -the good, the bad, and the cringeworthy
  • How lifting transformed our bodies, energy, confidence, and sex drive
  • The TRUTH about gym intimidation and how to overcome it like a man
  • Home gym vs commercial gym: pros, cons, and what’s best for YOU
  • How to build a garage gym on any budget (plus our must-have gear list)
  • Why strength is your greatest asset in your 50s, 60s, and beyond
  • And of course… why strong men are harder to kill
