I’m a 55-year old guy and I’ve been lifting for seven years
after I found SS.
I’ts been great! I’m 30 pounds heavier, I’m a ton stronger and I got rid of some aches and pains. Lifter for life.
After NLP I progressed, but slowly and the price for PR:s has gotten higher and higher.
Stronger is the name of the game here and I was gonna ask Rip, but I kinda knew what the answer would be.
So, dear Sirs, is there any point for me to be any stronger, healthwise?
Ot to be more useful in general?
If I could maintain this, while not eating 5K a day, not being wasted three days and perhaps throw in a little running, could that trump stronger? For a 55-year old guy?
I know I’m I’m a pussy and so on, and it’s up to me to decide etc. but I think you know what I mean.
I suspect that you have already more than maxed out the health benefits from strength training, assuming you continue to do it for the rest of your life.
What is your waist circumference? Are you doing any sort of conditioning?
This is a very interesting to question to me as a 49 year old with similar number on the main lifts. I have no plans to ever compete. However, barbell training is very important to me (BBM client for 18 months) and I enjoy the physical and mental benefits. It is a constant in a very hectic day to day life. Aside from achieving a healthy BMI, what does training for people like Northswede and me look like? Maintaining strength focus rather than Gainzzz? More emphasis on cardiovascular fitness?
