Whether your sights are set on strength or mental transformations, you have the capacity to achieve both… IF you’re ready to work for them.

No matter where your starting point is, remember we will all start somewhere and weren’t great to begin with. Nobody is. So never doubt your capacity to achieve great things!

One of the things that saddens me the most is when I talk to patients of mine who give me the story, “well I used to lift a lot when I was younger.” The idea that lifting weights & pushing your body is only something you do when young is WRONG. It is something for LIFE.
While you may not be setting new personal records in your 60s compared to when you were 25 that doesn’t mean strength training should be any less a part of your life. Strength allows you to build capacity for everyday tasks such as lifting a box in your garage, walking up stairs & getting off the toilet (not a joke, literally this is something many have issues with as they age).

If you want to enjoy not only your youth but also your FULL LIFE, always make strength training a priority.
The Why: Muscles have a certain capacity to perform work. The larger the capacity, the more reserve they have. Let’s use the biceps as an example. Let’s say your best bicep curl is 100 pounds for 1 RM. If your biceps performed 5 pound curls every minute for 8 hours, it could probably hold out and last. However, what would happen if your best bicep curl was only 20 pounds for 1 RM. Your poor biceps are not going to be able to sustain lifting 5 pounds every minute for 8 hours. Eventually you potentially develop tendonitis, DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) or even rhabdomyolysis.
Now, let’s switch out the biceps for the full body. If your body can sustain and lift a heavier 1RM, your body will certainly be more resilient to injuries. Standing up and sitting down would be an easier task if you had a strong squat. Taking walks/hikes wouldn’t be such an issue with strong legs/core. Picking anything off the ground is easy with a good deadlift. Pushing a box to a high shelf is easy with a strong press.
The point I’m trying to make and get across is that you should lift heavy every once and a while! Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself to a 1RM or 3RM. Make sure you have an experienced coach or trainer assess your technique before attempting a personal record. Staying in your “comfort zone” is not a bad thing. However, you are selling yourself short by not seeing what your body is capable of and improving your capacity for LIFE.
There have been numerous studies and articles written on how muscle loss and weakness is positively correlated with death and a shorter life span. Strength training when performed correctly and with good programming, will improve core strength, increase muscle mass/power/strength, increase your resiliency to injuries and improve your life expectancy.
Remember exercise & proper movement is medicine.

It’s pretty simple when you think about it. Strength training gives you the ability to live LIFE! Are you with me?
