Hey everyone, welcome to the Drive Podcast. I'm your host, Peter Atia.

Our goal is to provide the best content in health and wellness. And we've established a great team of analysts to make this happen. It is extremely important to me to provide all of this content without relying on paid ads. To do this, our work is made entirely possible by our members, and in return, we offer exclusive member only content and benefits above and beyond what is available for free.

Jeff is a physical therapist, strength coach, and founder of Athlene X, one of the most trusted and influential fitness education platforms in the world. Prior to that, Jeff served as the head physical therapist for the New York Mets. And he has spent decades bridging the gap between rehabilitation, performance, and strength training. This is Jeff's second appearance on the drive after joining us last year for our strength round table.
In this episode we talk about how to train for strength and hypertrophy while minimizing injury risk, especially as you move from your 40s into your fifties and beyond. Why junk volume is one of the biggest mistakes lifters make and how to think about productive reps instead? Reps in reserve, how to use them correctly. When to train to failure and when not to.
