And recent research indicates that it can also improve cognitive function, especially when added to aerobic exercise.
Strength training builds a healthy bone mass, helps prevent muscle loss (you lose 1-2 % of muscle strength per year, after turning 50), and strengthens connective tissues, tendons, and ligaments.

Working at it. At 73 y.o. I find myself with very little uncontested time for myself. I am making training a priority and it does seem to be working for me.
I will give the Graysteel gym a call next week. Perhaps I can score an autograph for my copy of The Barbell Prescription.
Been training since 1968. Learned a few things along the road!
Me at 17 years old asking myself if I could lift at 60+ years old lmao
55-59 110KG 59 years here! Just deadlifted 500lbsx2 beltless after squatting 385lbx2 beltless. I agree with you. And I will be competing open category in the future. There is a message that needs to be sent out! Strength is earned! At any age!
I had two devastating leg injuries and recovered quite well using bands and free weights mixed in my training program. It seems that some limitations can be gradually overcome using those bands because of a more favorable strength curve in exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and even bench presses. When the muscle is weaker and more prone to be reinjured, the weight is reduced, as the path of the movement gets more advantageous, the tension increases. I guess this can help the elderly too. Super good information in your videos and podcasts! Congrats.
70 yr old martial artist here(aikido) and I’m doing very well health wise, I’m sorry after aikido class but at least I can take the falls and rolls that’s required. I’ve outlived all my friends and am in better shape than people half my age. I’m so fucking glad!
Do you think free weights are always better than cable or Precor machines (assuming that safety isn’t an issue)?
I take blood pressure pill and my blood pressure lowers after taking pill but would like to know can I do weight lifting for 1 hour?
My grandfather is 90 years old. Should I start him barbell squatting?
I built myself a home gym recently and I’m working hard on getting my parents in their 60s to use the gym. I bought a Hex Bar for deadlifts, neutral grips bar for bench press, and safety squat bar, to make sure we’re all doing the safest variations of the core compound lifts. My mother is 5’5″ 140 and watching her doing a good form squat even with the empty barbell is cool. I told her “next time that young lady at work always telling you about her Zumba classes looks down on you for not doing them, you can be like ‘that’s cute, I use freeweights”
I’m 41. Two years ago, I decided to quit the unhealthy vices since my 20’s and got into strength training best decision I made to embrace life and strength. I don’t know if I qualify as a “Masters Athlete” but I surely have set my mind to think like one already. In the two years of training (most of the time self-taught), I’ve managed to progress but still mindful of body mechanics and form. I’m 89kgs, with 5RM squats at 155kg, 5RM Bench press at 90kg, and 1RM Deadlift at 200kg. I am still on LP and I am enjoying it very much.
I read “The Barbell Prescription” by Dr. Sullivan and Andy Baker and it further opened my eyes to the therapeutic impact of strength training. So, I also read to the book to my parents, both in their 70s and both of the “sick and ageing phenotype” diabetics and hypertensive; Dad had a stroke a few years ago but still mobile. I think I’ve convinced them to get up from the couch, be less sedentary, to move around, and watch what they eat. I am very thankful to the authors for your very helpful thoughts and ideas. I just wish there were SS Coaches, gyms, or even something like Greysteel here in Manila, Philippines who would cater to masters athletes like me and seniors like my parents.
61 and weight training was something I loved as a teen…I got hurt and at the time took some bad advise from a doctor and didn’t lift until I was 55. I wish I had never stopped and I won’t now because it is the fountain of youth
Who wouldn’t want to work out after watching this fantastic video?
Master athlete here. There should be more gyms and trainers geared towards masters. I feel like everyone’s grandfather in the gym. They are all very nice, but half my age, and the blasting hip hop music just isn’t my style. But I guess it will take some of us masters to take the time to learn coaching and start a place of our own.:)
I have bought the book but I haven’t read it yet. It seems to be very informative in terms of strength training, but we have to remember that strength gains can be accomplished by any rep range (1 20+). I’ve realised that 5×5 or 5×3 when the load gets heavy, my joints start complaining, especially my knees from squatting!
You are totally right! I notice that, once a senior gets stronger, everything in that person’s life starts improving.
“Level 60” male ectomorph here: got an osteopenia diagnosis, even though I deadlift 145kg x6 at 78kg bodyweight. This surprised me! I recommend Sully’s book and channel (see the end of this video).
Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about “lower your blood pressure naturally fast” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across Handadison Pressure Amalgamation (do a search on google )? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.
Training for 35 years and in my 50’s. Thanks for your dedication. I hope I can help others as well through my instruction.
ahh yes the overhead shrug. Ha Hey this is a great video! Thanks
this is so helpful. plus, I have learned not to hold your breath during a rep cos that increases blood pressure
