Training pain vs. injury. Building muscle after 40. TRT. Mobility. HRV. Explosiveness as you age. In this Q&A episode of The Judd Lienhard Podcast , Judd answers some of the most common (and most misunderstood) questions around training, recovery, and performance after 40. If you’ve ever questioned whether you should push through discomfort or back off, or wondered how aging actually affects strength, power, and recovery, this episode is for you. Judd breaks down how to distinguish normal training pain from real injury signals, why loss of power and strength inhibition are red flags you shouldn’t ignore, and how most injuries build slowly long before something “goes wrong.” He explains how smarter training adjustments help you continue progressing instead of ending up sidelined. The conversation also covers muscle growth after 40, explosiveness and power development, mobility versus flexibility, HRV and wearable data, and an honest discussion on testosterone, TRT, and hormone optimization. This episode is for anyone who wants to train hard, stay athletic, and make smarter decisions as they get older, without wrecking their body in the process.

What does functional fitness actually mean—and how do you know if your training is truly functional? In this episode, performance coach Judd Lienhard breaks down one of the most overused and misunderstood concepts in the fitness industry. Judd explains what “functionality” really is, why most definitions miss the mark, and how to determine which exercises actually carry over to strength, movement, and real-world capability. He explores why flashy or “functional-looking” movements often fail, why no exercise is inherently functional or nonfunctional, and how to design training that supports the way you live, perform, and move. You’ll learn: How to determine whether an exercise is functional for your goals Why the “it must look functional” mentality leads people astray The difference between training strength vs. endurance (and why it matters) Why lunges often build more real-world capability than maxing out squats How isolating muscles can sometimes be the most functional choice Why aesthetics still matter for long-term capability and resilience Ultimately, real functional fitness is individualized, purpose-driven, and built around the demands of your actual life—not trends, internet dogma, or theoretical scenarios. Judd gives you a clear, practical framework for building training that makes you stronger, more capable, and more athletic.

In this episode, Judd sits down with Peloton instructor and hybrid athlete Logan Aldridge to explore what it really means to maintain an athlete mindset through injury, adversity, and unexpected setbacks. Logan lost his arm at 13 in a traumatic accident—but what makes his story powerful isn’t the injury, it’s the mindset he built because of it. Judd and Logan break down the practical mental skills athletes use to stay grounded and keep progressing when training gets disrupted. You’ll learn how Logan rebuilt his confidence, questioned his limiting beliefs, took action before conditions were perfect, created momentum during rehab, and turned a disadvantage into a genuine advantage.

Strength training Q&A with Judd Lienhard. In this episode, Judd breaks down common misconceptions around training intensity, deloads, creatine, peptides, gender-specific programming, and why inmates build muscle despite poor nutrition. Direct answers, with real exercise science and practical takeaways. What Judd covers: • How inmates get strong with limited food quality • When deload weeks matter—and when they don’t • Whether any exercises should be gender-specific • Creatine: benefits, safety, myths, and proper dosing • An overview of peptides like BPC-157, TB-500, and MOTS-C • Judd’s recommended reading list Key ideas: • The training stimulus drives adaptation more than perfect nutrition. • General strength and power work transfers better than most people think. • Deloads are only effective when you’ve actually been pushing hard. • Women do not need separate training systems—the fundamentals apply to everyone. • Creatine is one of the safest, most researched supplements available, and peptides may support recovery depending on individual context.

Former NFL strength and conditioning coach Jon Heck joins Judd Lienhard to talk about what actually works for diet, strength, and long-term athletic performance . They cover the fundamentals of eating, training, and building a body that stays lean, strong, and capable. Topics Covered Why most people fail at dieting The real role of carbohydrates in strength and muscle growth How to become a carbohydrate-processing machine How to use reverse dieting to stay lean after cutting Training your metabolism to handle more food The balance between protein and carbs for hypertrophy How to structure your diet around “ Kill it, Pick it, Grow it ” foods Improving insulin sensitivity and using movement to burn fat How strength training has changed in college and the NFL Why machines still matter for performance Building durable athletes through simple, consistent training How to train hard without losing mobility or breaking down The difference between training to compete vs. training for life Key Takeaways Movement comes first. Walk, train, and move daily to use the food you eat. Carbs fuel strength. When you train hard, carbs become anabolic. Reverse dieting matters. How you finish a cut determines if you stay lean. Keep protein high in a deficit and moderate in a surplus. Eat real food. If you can hunt it, pick it, or grow it, it belongs in your diet. Machines and basics build longevity. Don’t overcomplicate training. Be consistent. Robotic discipline outside the gym, effort inside it. About Jon Heck Jon Heck is the founder of Hammer & Chisel Performance , a former NFL and Division I strength coach , and a performance nutrition coach for athletes and high performers.

If you want to live longer, move better, and still be thriving and active when you’re 70+ you should do one thing immediately: start lifting weights. In this episode, Judd Lienhard breaks down the truth about aging, metabolism, and why losing muscle is the real reason most people feel old. It’s not your metabolism slowing down, it’s your lifestyle. When you stop lifting, you lose muscle. When you lose muscle, your insulin sensitivity drops, your energy tanks, and your body starts falling apart long before it should. The good news? You can fix it, starting right now. Judd explains why strength training is the single most important thing you can do for healthy aging. It's more powerful than supplements, more protective than cardio, and absolutely essential if you want to keep your edge for life. He dives into: Why “metabolic slowdown” is a myth How muscle protects your hormones and your joints The difference between bodybuilding and true strength training The minimal effective dose for staying strong and lean How to lift for performance, not ego What it really means to age with strength and presence This isn’t about chasing aesthetics. It’s about staying capable and being the kind of person who can still move, lift, run, and play well into your 50s, 60s, and beyond. “We’re not meant to live forever. But we are meant to live well. Lift weights because you love your people and want to be around for them — not just because you want to look good. You can have both.” If you want to stay in the game — strong, healthy, and athletic for life — start with the fundamentals. 💪 Train with Judd: Get the full system that builds strength, athleticism, and longevity.

Kettlebells are one of the most misunderstood and underused tools in fitness — and they might be the key to unlocking real athletic strength. In this episode, Judd Lienhard sits down with Clifton Harski , of the Pain-Free Performance Specialist Certification (PPSC) and creator of the Functional Kettlebell Training program, to break down why kettlebell training builds real-world strength, mobility, and power that lasts. They dig into the truth about “odd-object” strength, eccentric training, and how to use kettlebells to build a stronger, more adaptable body. Clifton shares his “BA Matrix” approach — Be Able → Be Athletic → Be Adaptable → Be Badass — while Judd unpacks why most people underestimate what kettlebell work can do for athleticism and durability. 👉 Train with Judd: Get his MASS Method programs inside the Judd Lienhard Training App to build movement, athleticism, strength, and speed that last. https://www.juddlienhard.com/ 🎧 Subscribe: New episodes every Tuesday at 5 AM CST.

Most people argue over HIIT vs steady state cardio , but the truth is—you need both. If you want to recover faster, build real-world endurance, and keep your strength as you age, you have to understand how to train your cardiovascular system the right way. In this episode, Judd Lienhard —former Army Ranger, college linebacker, and performance coach for 15+ years—breaks down how your body actually fuels exercise, why your cardio base supports your weight training, and how to balance low-intensity aerobic work with high-intensity intervals for maximum results after 30. He explains the real difference between aerobic and anaerobic systems, how to improve VO₂ max and mitochondrial health, and why weight training is also cardio when structured correctly. You’ll learn how to blend Zone 2 conditioning, HIIT intervals, and strength training into one plan that makes you leaner, stronger, and more athletic for life. In This Episode HIIT vs steady state: which is better and why The science behind energy systems (without the jargon) How to train your VO₂ max for longevity and performance The ideal weekly balance of cardio and strength after 30 How to use weights to build endurance and power Why most people aren’t “out of shape”—they’re under-conditioned Train Like Judd Get access to Judd’s MASS Method —his complete system for movement, athleticism, strength, and speed —inside his Fitness App .

In a world built to hijack your attention, staying focused and grounded has become a form of resistance. Richard Ryan — co-founder of Black Rifle Coffee Company , software developer, and media executive — joins Judd Lienhard to talk about how Big Tech is shaping our thoughts, behaviors, and daily habits. As a seasoned tech insider with over 15 years in digital media, Richard has seen how algorithms manipulate behavior and profit from our time. He’s also the author of The Warrior’s Garden: Tools for Guarding Your Mind Against Big Tech, a book that teaches readers how to reclaim their focus and protect what matters most. In this conversation, Judd and Richard dive into how technology, dopamine, and comfort have changed the way we live—and how we can train our minds like we train our bodies to take back control. They discuss: How the “attention economy” rewires your brain Why friction and struggle build mental toughness The parallels between physical training and psychological resilience Why community, gratitude, and purpose still matter more than ever How to reclaim your time, discipline, and awareness in a world that profits from distraction This is a conversation about protecting your focus, building resilience, and finding meaning in an age of algorithms. It’s not about escaping technology—it’s about mastering your relationship with it. Richard Ryan has generated billions of views and built global communities online. His book The Warrior’s Garden pulls back the curtain on how digital systems manipulate behavior, while giving you practical tools to guard your mind and rebuild your attention.

Muscles don’t want to grow—you have to force them. Adaptation is painful and uncomfortable, and nowhere is that more true than with leg training. Quads grow with pain. Glutes and hamstrings grow with high tension. Most lifters miss both. I’m Judd Lienhard—former Army Ranger, college linebacker, and strength & performance coach for 15+ years. In this episode, I break down why most leg workouts fail—and how to actually build bigger, stronger, more athletic legs. Too many people train legs the wrong way: Overloading quads while neglecting hamstrings and glutes Relying only on bilateral lifts instead of adding unilateral work like lunges and split squats Training legs once a week and wondering why they aren’t growing Ignoring side-to-side movements that build complete athletic legs Stopping sets when things get uncomfortable instead of pushing for adaptation If you want legs that look powerful and perform in the real world—sprinting, jumping, and changing direction—you need to train smarter. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why unilateral lifts are the most complete leg exercises How to program quad-focused vs. hinge-focused leg days The 4 changes I made in my 30s that finally unlocked leg growth How to train legs with enough frequency without wrecking recovery Why calves rarely grow in the gym—and what athletes do differently How to target different quad and hamstring heads for complete development Stop wasting time on leg workouts that don’t work.

Every sport is a total body sport — yet most lifters still follow body-part splits like “chest day” and “leg day.” In this episode, Judd Lienhard — former Army Ranger, college linebacker, and performance coach — breaks down why total body workouts are the smarter choice for building strength, size, athleticism, and long-term health.

You’ll learn: Why frequency beats volume for natural lifters The real reason “bro splits” became popular (hint: steroids) How soreness and fatigue can actually limit progress Why total body training keeps you fresher and more flexible in life How to structure full-body workouts for both muscle and performance If you want to move better, build strength that transfers to real life, and actually enjoy your training, this episode will show you why total body > splits . 👉 Train Judd's MASS Method training program, exclusively available in his Workout App: www.juddlienhard.com 📲 Follow Judd for more training, mindset, and performance insights: Instagram: @juddlienhard YouTube: Judd Lienhard Website: www.juddlienhard.com This episode is brought to you by LMNT.

Fear doesn’t just stop us in our tracks — it quietly shapes our choices, our discipline, and our relationships. In this episode, former Army Ranger, college linebacker, and strength & performance coach Judd Lienhard breaks down the seven core fears that hold us back: suffering, knowing the truth, the unknown, responsibility, commitment, isolation, and frustration.

Daniel Back is a highly respected performance coach known for blending biomechanics, science, and real-world coaching to help athletes jump higher, sprint faster, and build explosive power. In this episode, we break down the misunderstood foundations of athleticism and why strength alone won’t make you a better athlete. We talk about what actually transfers to sport: sprinting, jumping, submaximal movement, and variety. Daniel shares how his early obsession with jump training led to a career spent developing athletes across basketball, track, and field sports. He explains why the gym shouldn't be the starting point for most athletes and how to rebuild the athletic pyramid from the ground up. If your goal is to run faster, jump higher, or train smarter, this episode will reshape how you think about getting there. Highlights: Why strength ≠ force (and how that impacts speed) What most programs miss: submaximal movement and variety Sprinting and jumping as universal athletic skills How general play and movement challenges build true athleticism The problem with specializing too early Strength training’s place in the performance pyramid The neurological cost of always lifting heavy What fascia training gets wrong (and right) Tips for improving sprint mechanics and ground contact How to know when your athletes need less strength work, not more CONNECT WITH DANIEL BACK: Instagram: @2xathlete & @jump.science YouTube: 2X Athlete Programs: 2xathlete.com CONNECT WITH JUDD LIENHARD: Instagram: @juddlienhard Train with Judd: juddlienhard.com This episode is brought to you by LMNT.

I explain why I created MASS Method and how I approach athletic development after 15+ years in the fitness field as a coach.

Topics Covered: The real meaning of MASS Method (Movement, Athleticism, Strength, Speed) Why “optimal” training isn’t always useful The difference between being certified and being capable How to build athleticism back in midlife Lessons from coaching kids, college football, and the military What matters most in training: patience, angles, aggression Advice for athletes, coaches, and young men trying to figure it out In this episode: “You have your whole life to be a bodybuilder.

Most people don’t fail in the gym because they’re lazy—they fail because they don’t have a real plan. In this episode, I break down 5 military tactics I learned as an Army Ranger and have used as a performance coach for 15+ years to help people train with purpose. Too many training programs fall apart because they lack strategy. In this episode, I’ll show you how to build a plan that fits your goals, supports your lifestyle, and holds up under pressure. What you’ll learn: How to set a clear mission for your training The difference between your main effort and supporting efforts Why shaping and sustaining operations matter in fitness How to run daily after-action reviews (AARs) to stay consistent Why crossloading and redundancy help busy people train without missing workouts This isn’t about motivation. It’s about planning. If you’re serious about staying strong, fit, and adaptable—especially with a full plate—this is how you build a system that actually works.

I’ve spent over 15 years coaching young athletes—and I’ve seen one pattern over and over again: it’s not the kids who ruin their athletic experience... it’s the parents. In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the 7 biggest mistakes I see sports parents make all the time. From making excuses and criticizing constantly, to living through your kid or thinking you know more than the coaches—these habits are killing your kid’s love for the game. We all want what’s best for our kids, but sometimes we’re the ones standing in the way. 🎯 Here’s what I cover: Why letting your kid fail is a gift How excuses destroy accountability The damage caused by constant criticism Why comparing your kid to others (or yourself) backfires What sports are really supposed to teach How to tell if your kid actually loves the sport—or just wants to please you The truth about coaching When support turns into sabotage What it really means to raise an athlete who thrives If you’re a sports parent, this episode is for you.
