In this high-value Live in the Tribe episode of the Tom the Trainer Fitness Over 40 Podcast, I power through a rough day under the weather to deliver deep insights on training intensity, recovery, and technique refinement, especially for lifters over 40.

Kicking things off, I tackle a thought-provoking question on systemic fatigue and volume cycling, diving into the debate between science and real-world experience. I break down how to structure programs that prioritize certain muscle groups for growth without overtraining the entire system, and why proximity to failure, age, and exercise selection matter more than set counts alone.

I also drop gold on improving balance and form in lunges, split squats, and Bulgarians with easy-to-follow stability and mobility drills. From how to actually strengthen your knees (spoiler: it’s not step-downs) to managing creatine use wisely and progressing endurance safely for runners, this episode is packed with actionable strategies for smart, sustainable training.

Whether you're building a physique, improving movement, or just want to avoid spinning your wheels, this episode blends biomechanics, mindset, and no-BS coaching advice like only I can deliver.

In this fire-up solo episode of the Tom the Trainer Fitness Over 40 Podcast, I strip back the fluff and lay out the real, raw, and proven steps to achieving success, not just in fitness, but in every area of your life.

Drawing from personal stories of hardship, resilience, and transformation, I share six powerful principles that helped me go from surviving to thriving.

This isn’t your average motivation talk. I dive into the psychology of goal setting, the importance of specificity, the power of daily vision reinforcement, and why becoming the person you need to be before success arrives is the ultimate game-changer.

From my morning mindset routine to unapologetic time-blocking and drawing clear boundaries, I give you both the mindset and tactical roadmap for getting real results.

Whether you're trying to lose weight, build a business, improve your relationships, or become a more fulfilled version of yourself, this episode is a masterclass in discipline, vision, and personal integrity.

In this powerful Q&A episode of Tom the Trainer’s Fitness Over 40 Podcast, I take you inside my live coaching session with The Tribe to tackle training plateaus, proper progression for beginners, squat mechanics, and the often-overlooked intersection of mental health and fitness.

I share coaching insights on how (and when) to push closer to failure, especially for newer lifters, and how smart programming, like submaximal lifting, builds real, lasting strength. I also dive into squat depth struggles, Smith machine foot placement, and why cardio might be killing your progress more than your muscles are.

But what really hits home is a vulnerable and relatable deep dive into overcoming depressive and anxious periods. I share my personal tools for climbing out of mental ruts, everything from my morning mindset routine and motivational playlists to therapy, emotional regulation, and honest conversations with my son.

It’s a raw, real, and refreshingly unfiltered episode on why self-awareness, boundaries, and grace are just as important as training volume.

If you’ve ever struggled with hitting the gym while feeling mentally drained, this episode reminds you that you’re not alone, and that fitness isn’t just about your body, but about building the strongest version of your entire self.
