Eric Dahl joins Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson on Beast Over Burden to share how he continues getting stronger with age, setting major PRs in his mid-40s while balancing work, family, coaching, and recovery.

Eric has been part of the Barbell Logic family since 2017 and has built an impressive strength resume, including a 507-pound bench press and a 628-pound deadlift at 46 years old. But this conversation is about more than big lifts. Eric shares how strength training became his version of a midlife crisis, why hard training provides purpose, and how he has learned to adjust recovery, competition, and programming as life has changed.

He also discusses his long-term coaching relationship with Caleb, his experience becoming a coach himself, and the powerful story of helping his mother-in-law begin strength training after an osteoporosis diagnosis.

This episode is a reminder that strength is for everyone. Whether you are chasing PRs, training for independence, or simply looking for a meaningful outlet for hard work, getting stronger with age is possible.
