Here's why training more than two days per week might be holding you back.
I've been helping people 40+ build strength for four years. I've learned that more is not better when it comes to strength training. Most people 40+ have moderate to high levels of stress in their lives: kids, jobs, taking care of parents, bills, you name it. Piling on a bunch more stress on the body in the form of strength training overfills their stress bucket - which leads to injuries, aches, and pains. Less is more when it comes to strength training. For most people, 1 day per week is the perfect dose. Some people can get away with 2. 3 will be too much for most.
