This week on the podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Chad Landers, a coach who’s been training people hands-on for more than 30 years and recently published ​Building Strength and Muscle After 50​.

Chad isn’t an influencer. He’s someone who’s spent decades watching real people train, get hurt, recover, and keep going.

If you’re over 40 and still want to train hard and stay healthy, Chad is someone worth listening to.

Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey, you’ve been a little inconsistent in the gym and want some routine, or you’re simply looking to change up your workout program, choosing the right training split can be a little confusing.

In this episode, Ripped Body coaches Sam and Matt explain how to choose the right training program for your goals. They talk about the important factors to consider, the pros and cons of popular workout splits, common splits we give our clients, and share the programs they’re currently using for themselves.

Once the diet ends, most people don’t know what to do next.

In this episode, Coach Matt and I talk about how to transition from fat loss to maintenance without panic or rebound. And then we talk about finding the least training you can do to maintain your physique.

We use Fred’s story — a reader who dropped from 360 lbs to 166 — as a real-world example of what to expect when you stop cutting and start maintaining.

We cover:

• How to calculate your maintenance calories after a deficit.
• Why regaining 5–10 lbs after a cut is normal (and not fat).
• What "maximum maintenance" means — and how to find it.
• How to reduce training volume without losing muscle.
• Why maintaining your physique is often harder mentally than dieting.

This episode will help you end the "yo-yo" cycle and finally hold onto the results you’ve worked for.
