How to Get Lean and Build Muscle After 50​

Paul Sklar is aging like fine wine, proving that you can be in phenomenal shape in your 50s and beyond. The 51-year old, former world-ranked athlete is a father of four, as lean as a bonobo, and strong as an ox, redefining what it means to have a "dad bod." (The term "dad bod" has colloquially been used to describe the physique of an aging man with a beer belly and little muscle mass.)

Paul Sklar has garnered over 1 million followers on Instagram while providing helpful fitness tips and training programs to people of all ages. And as bizarre as it sounds, he's not an anomaly for being in such great shape at his age.

As more of the population takes an interest in longevity, it's becoming clear that age is really just a number. With the right training program and proper nutrition, you can get lean, build muscle, and feel your best well into your adult years.

With that in mind, follow along as we outline some of Paul Sklar's keys to maximizing muscle growth, getting fit, and staying in good health as you grow older.

"How hard is building muscle after 50?"​

It’s never too late to transform your body from dad-/mom-bod to Greek god(ess) and increase your strength. In fact, strength training (e.g. weight lifting) will do a whole lot more for you beyond gaining muscle mass and making you physically stronger. Research has shown that resistance training can improve heart health/cardiovascular function, reduce the risk of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), and even strengthen joints (as counterintuitive as that may seem) [1].
