Muscle scientist Dr Brad Schoenfeld on how to stay strong after 60.

Dr Brad Schoenfeld is a professor of exercise science at Lehman College, New York, and one of the world's most cited researchers on muscle hypertrophy. In this interview we cover the practical science of building and maintaining muscle as you age with a focus on what actually matters for healthspan and independence.

We discuss how much training older adults really need, why power matters more than strength for fall prevention, and how to think about loads and reps after 60. Brad also explains why protein requirements increase with age, what the leucine threshold is and why it matters, and gives his frank assessment of the supplement landscape including the one he thinks has genuine evidence behind it.

We also touch on VO2 max, balance, flexibility and the role of consistency. A practical, evidence-based conversation for anyone serious about staying strong and independent as they age.
