THE OLDER YOU get, the narrative says, the more challenging it becomes to pack on muscle and strength. But no, that doesn’t need to stop you from becoming the best version of yourself.
For all the aches and pains and injuries that may make you feel older than you are, you can still chase your fitness goals and build muscle. And 51-year-old trainer Bryan Krahn is proof of that. Krahn reveals his secrets in his new Max Muscle at 50 workout program, which is designed specifically for guys who are chasing fitness goals into (and beyond) their fifth decade.
This is a program that’s all about building muscle safely and efficiently, while still leaving plenty of time for you to enjoy life. You’ll learn the exercises that are most essential to build muscle, and pick up on workout tweaks that can keep you pain- and injury-free while still letting you train hard. You’ll also master the mindset needed to battle through any workout, even when the world tries to tell you that you need to slow down.
This program is exclusively available to Men’s Health MVP Premium members, so if you’re not already a member, be sure to sign up now.

A decade ago, he chronicled this approach in his Muscle After 40 training guide. He refines that approach even more in his Max Muscle at 50 PDF and video workout programs.
