"The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40 directly addresses the most pervasive problem faced by aging humans: the loss of physical strength and all its associated problems – the loss of muscle mass, bone mineral loss and osteoporosis, hip fractures (a terminal event for many older people), loss of balance and coordination, diabetes, heart disease related to a sedentary lifestyle, and the loss of independence.

The worst advice an older person ever gets is, “Take it easy.” Easy makes you soft, and soft makes you dead. The Barbell Prescription maps an escape from the usual fate of older adults: a logical, programmed approach to the hard work necessary to win at the extreme sport of Aging Well. Unlike all other books on the subject of exercise for seniors, The Barbell Prescription challenges the motivated Athlete of Aging with a no-nonsense training approach to strength and health – and demonstrates that everybody can become significantly stronger using the most effective tools ever developed for the job."

Necro! Well kind of.


Who is still at it? I just set some new goals and hit a couple of PRs yesterday. The one I am most proud of was my dead lift, finally got 415. I will spent a little time around 400 cleaning up form and getting it twice.

I have moved to all trap bar for deadlifts. With long legs and short torso I think its way safer for me to get into a "safe" biomechanical movement. And nearing 60, I'm not worrying about purist this or that. Just trying to not hurt myself in the process.
