I know how hard you're working at this. I know how badly you want it.You're probably doing a lot of things right. You may even be getting some pretty good results.But pretty good isn't the same as getting the body you really want.I've worked with older men for decades. Smart men. Successful men. Hard-working men who know how to get results in other areas of their lives.But when it comes to building muscle, losing body fat, and getting into the best shape possible at their age, they're missing some important pieces of the puzzle.And here's the problem.It doesn't matter how hard you work if you don't have all the pieces of the puzzle.You can train harder. Eat cleaner. Spend more money on supplements. Put in more time.But if you're getting these 10 things wrong, you're making the process much harder than it needs to be.In this video, I break down the Top 10 Things Older Men Get Wrong and explain what you need to understand to get better results from your efforts.The Top 10 Things Older Men Get Wrong:They don't count their calories.They overvalue the need and role of testosterone.They overvalue supplements.They don't understand how their body changes and the time frames involved.They eat too few calories when trying to lose body fat.They don't understand how body weight and the scale work.They believe more sets and exercises are better.They confuse training intensity with simply working hard.They overestimate how much muscle they'll gain.They think their transformation will come from workouts alone.You don't have to figure all of this out through years of trial and error.Want some one-on-one attention?I offer a 12-week private coaching program where we work together to get all the pieces of your fitness puzzle in place.We'll address your training, nutrition, mindset, habits, and the mistakes that have been holding you back.My goal isn't just to help you get better results over the next 12 weeks.

In this Workouts for Older Men podcast, we talk about what happens when a man gets serious about his fitness after 50 and starts comparing himself to men who’ve lived in the gym for decades. We get into the conversation around TRT, the business behind some of the advice you hear, and the training decisions you can make the next time you walk into the gym.How two different bodybuilding backgrounds shaped the way we talk about TRT and performance-enhancing drugs.Why somebody else’s lab number can become a distraction from the question you meant to ask.How an influencer’s discount code and a promise to feel younger can shape the way you hear a pitch.What a man who bought my books and VHS tapes taught me about coaching men with careers and families.Why an extra set needs a purpose and how to judge a weight by the reps you can control.What tracking calories for a short stretch can tell you about how you actually eat.How a weekly check-in can turn vague frustration into one clear change.If you want help sorting through your training and eating, fill out my questionnaire. Tell me what you’ve tried and what you want to accomplish. TalkWithSkip.com#WorkoutsForOlderMen #FitnessPodcast #MuscleAfter50 #DrugFreeBodybuilding #SkipLaCour

You’ve spent decades getting good at your work and taking care of your family. Now you’re the new guy at the gym. How are you supposed to know when to ask to work in, how long to stay on a machine, or whether anybody cares what you’re doing in the squat rack?On this episode of Workouts for Older Men, Michael Phelps joins me on his 61st birthday. We get into the difference between being friendly and interrupting somebody’s workout, why a crowded gym changes the squat-rack debate, and how social media can make an ordinary gym feel more intimidating than it is. Then we dig into listener questions about making weighted dips productive, what you expect from a supplement, finding a calorie number you can work with, and keeping one weigh-in from throwing off a good week.If you’ve been showing up and still feel stuck, fill out my coaching questionnaire. Tell me what you’re doing now, what you’ve tried, and where you want to go. TalkWithSkip.com#WorkoutsForOlderMen #FitnessPodcast #MenOver50 #GymEtiquette #FitnessAfter50

We discuss the training mistakes we would avoid today, why chasing a bigger bench press can distract you from building muscle, rear-delt training, and the difference between doing more work and doing better work.We also break down why your eating deserves more attention when your goal is losing body fat, how low-carb diets and evening eating rules can reduce calories, and why a good coach helps you understand your progress instead of constantly changing your plan.

You’ve built a career. Raised a family. Handled responsibilities for decades. So why does getting control of your fitness still feel so confusing?In this episode of Workouts for Older Men LIVE, Michael Phelps and I discuss how to make fitness fit a busy, productive life. We talk about why an effective plan you can follow can serve you better than chasing a supposedly perfect routine, why “clean eating” doesn’t tell you how much you’re eating, and why information alone often fails to create change.We also get into hidden calories in drinks, rationalizing oversized portions of healthy foods, the value of communicating with your coach, and the difference between a short burst of motivation and a system that keeps your commitments in front of you. Along the way, I share stories from my competitive bodybuilding years—including the “Tunamobile,” fish meals in a movie theater, and blending chicken and rice before a Tony Robbins event—and explain what busy older men can learn from that experience without copying those extremes.Ready to get clear about your next step?
