Weekend Archives: Strength Training for People My Age

I was born in 1956. That makes me “old.” Granted, I'm pretty beat up these days. I've had my share of injuries, the result of having lived a rather careless active life outdoors, on horses, motorcycles, bicycles, and the field of competition. People my age who have not spent their years in a chair have an accumulation of aches and pains, most of them earned the hard way. And for us, beat up or not, the best way to stay in the game is to train for strength.

Weekend Archives: Physical Function and Aging

Advanced age brings with it an acceleration of the decline in mitochondrial content and function. Damage from that decline can be partially restored over the long term with a consistent strength training program.

A Recipe for Survival | Ryan Blom

If you lift weights, you should understand the stress/recovery/adaptation process. Your body will go through it whether you understand it or not. Squats and deadlifts don’t cause you to get big and strong, recovering from them does. However, your muscles aren’t the only thing that is changing and adapting; it’s all of you – physically, mentally and emotionally. Starting Strength changed me and made me “harder to kill” (The Red T-shirt).

Why I Stopped Running After 51 Years: A Goodbye to Running | Phil Ringman

I’ve lifted weights for about five years, but I was a runner for 51 years.

I ran four marathons at a time when only a few hundred people showed up, instead of the thousands we see today. I was a “middle of the pack” runner, but in recent years I have been winning age group awards in 5k and 10k races, mostly because few other 60+ year old men show up. I wasn’t fast, but I was durable enough to outlast many of my peers.

But things changed a few months ago.
