You can be in fantastic shape no matter what age you are — all it takes is a bit of TLC in the form of proper training and nutrition. But just like a car needs extra maintenance as the mileage increases, the same goes for our bodies as we age.

Once you hit your 40s, you’ll need to adjust your recovery routine to adapt. No more bouncing back from two-a-day workouts like you did in your 20s. But don't worry, because there are things you can do to speed up your healing process.

Adjusting your workout routine, fueling your body with the right foods and supplements, and prioritizing your sleep all play a crucial role in getting you back to the gym without aches and pains.

To build muscle, you need to eat a ton of food. Like, a lot. You’ve gotta chow down to get those gains, even if you’re not a pro bodybuilder.

But, as you know all too well, groceries can be pricey. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of affordable foods to help you pack on muscle without breaking the bank.

The article below details the best protein, carbohydrates, and fats that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Prepare to save some dough and add serious muscle to your body.

PRO TIPS

Master the Incline Press

Do you want to get a thicker frame and maximize your chest gains? Don't just focus on the regular bench press — it's time to zone in on your upper pecs, too. And one of the best exercises for engaging the upper chest is the incline dumbbell bench press.

But like any exercise, you won’t adequately target those muscles with flawed technique. Everything from your bench angle to how you grip the weights will dictate the move's effectiveness.

Lucky for you, Men's Open bodybuilder Hunter Labrada took to his YouTube channel to share a few vital tips to ensure you're targeting those muscles the right way.
