In this in-depth discussion, Peter Attia and three leading strength and conditioning experts explore how resistance training, muscle maintenance, and proper nutrition support long-term health and extend health span. They cover why many people avoid strength training despite its metabolic and injury-prevention benefits, practical ways to begin and stay consistent, and how to tailor resistance programs across life stages including considerations for women around menopause and young athletes. The group debates exercise selection (e.g., single-leg vs bilateral lifts), identifies high-risk movements to avoid, and emphasizes a protein-centred diet adjusted for age and activity. They also address strategies for preventing common injuries, fostering varied athletic development in children instead of early sport specialisation, and adjusting training as bodies age—all aimed at promoting sustainable fitness and longevity
