Still eating like you're trying to shrink?

If you’re training to get stronger in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, it’s time to flip that script.

In this week’s Quickcast, Justin breaks down why under-eating can actually stall your progress—and shares one simple step to start fueling your strength.

🎙️ New Quickcast Episode: “You Don’t Need to Get in Shape First”

Waiting to feel ready before starting the gym?

That might be the one thing keeping you from making real progress.

In this week’s Quickcast, Justin breaks down the myth that you need to be “fit enough” before joining—and shares one small action you can take to move forward now, not later.

...The truth is, those “just show up” days add up faster than the perfect ones.

At Woodshed, this is something we coach every day. We’ll meet you at 60%, 40%, or whatever you’ve got—and help you keep moving forward.

So try it this week. Don’t wait for full energy.

Pick a day when you feel worn out—and show up anyway. Go through the warmup. Do something light. Call it a win.

🎙️ Season 2, Episode 3 – Plan for the Off Days

Motivation fades. Life gets busy. But consistency? That’s what drives results.

This week’s Quickcast gives you one simple action: create a fallback workout you can do when things don’t go to plan.

No hype, no guesswork—just a way to keep showing up.

Cardio is great. HIIT has its place.

But strength training? That’s what builds the muscle, joint support, and long-term capability you actually need.

In this episode of the Quickcast, we cover why strength training is the missing piece for so many adults—and one simple way to start.

💡 One clear action. Less than 10 minutes. Let’s go.

🎙️ Season 2 of the Woodshed Strength Quickcast is here!

This season, we're keeping it simple: one action each week, tied to what we’re talking about in the gym, on our blog, and on social.

This week’s focus? How often do you really need to train?

(Here’s a hint: it’s probably less than you think.)

Tune in to hear why 2-3 workouts a week might be all you need—and what you can do today to make progress without burning out.

🎙️ We just wrapped Season 1 of the Woodshed Strength Quickcast.

20 episodes, all focused on clear, simple advice you can actually use—to lift better, move more, and feel stronger.

Season 2 launches next week, and we’re narrowing the focus. Each episode will connect directly to the weekly theme we’re covering—and it’s all built around one question:

What can I do this week to move the needle forward?

Not what to think about. Not what to plan for. What to do.

If you’ve been stuck in the noise or overwhelmed by options, this next season is for you. One action step. Every week.

Do you need to dunk your head into a bowl of ice water (and then journal about it) every morning to start your day off right?

Maybe, maybe not. Regimented, multi-step morning routines work wonders for some.

But for others, perhaps a slower, gentler approach might start the day off a little bit better...

And for those of you whose ears just pricked up, let's talk slow morning routines on this episode of the Woodshed Strength Quickcast.

Smell the coffee!
