Why Explosive Training Matters as We Age & How To Do It: Fast-Twitch Muscle, Performance & Longevity

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked—and most powerful—types of training for anyone who want to perform well and stay strong as they age: explosive, fast-twitch muscle training.

We’ll break down:

What fast-twitch muscle fibers are and how they function
Why we lose them faster as we age—and what that means for performance
The direct link between power training, athleticism, fall prevention, and metabolism
Practical, safe strategies to train explosiveness in your 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond
Specific protocols for climbing, biking, and strength work
How to start incorporating this training now—no matter your current fitness level

If you want to maintain or improve your athletic performance, protect your joints, and stay powerful as you age, this episode will give you the tools to make it happen. Aging strong isn’t just about endurance or strength—it’s about keeping the power turned on.
