Stop Doing Multiple Sets After 50 (Here's A Better Way)

5 Set Workouts Taught Me A Hard Lesson Why I Limit My Workouts to 2 Working Sets (and How It’s Transforming My Training After 50) Most guys over 50 think more sets = more muscle. I used to grind through 5–6 sets per exercise… until I realized it was holding me back. The truth? Extra sets often lead to junk volume—more wear and tear on your joints, less recovery, and little to no extra growth. In this video, I’ll show you why I’ve switched to just 2 true working sets per exercise—and how it’s completely changed my results after 50. You’ll learn: ✅ What a “working set” really is (and why warm-ups don’t count) ✅ Why 5–6 sets were hurting my recovery instead of helping ✅ The science that proves more isn’t always better ✅ How 2 sets done right can deliver more intensity, better recovery, and faster gains This approach is simple, joint-friendly, and perfect for men over 50 who want to keep building muscle without beating up their bodies. 👉 If you want a full step-by-step plan built on this method, check out my FA50 Joint-Friendly Muscle Blueprint fa50officialgear.com 📙Get your copy of my book: Big Men Don’t Just Lift - They Lead.
