Progressive Overload: Strength Training with Fractional Weight Plates | Mike Reed

Is your weight lifting stalling even though you are training consistently and doing everything right?

Many men over 50 put in the work but find that strength gains slow down while joints push back. The issue is often not effort or discipline. It is how progress is measured and applied as the body changes. 

This conversation, with Mike Reed, founder of Micro Gainz, speaks directly to men who want continued results without unnecessary wear and tear, and who care about longevity as much as numbers on the bar.

Listeners will discover:

How progressive overload applies differently in strength training for men over 50Why fractional weight plates allow progress without forcing big jumpsHow Micro Gainz® supports controlled, repeatable increases in training

Press play to gain clarity on how small, precise changes can restore momentum and confidence in the gym.
