Q&A: Fixing Amenorrhea, Weightlifting for Cardio, Staying Muscular at 40+ & More

Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

In this episode, I discuss how fit women can fix amenorrhea, whether high-rep sets are good for cardio, the challenges of staying muscular at 40+, and lots more.

As always, these questions come directly from my Instagram followers, who take advantage of my weekly Q&As in my stories.
