Great video !!,, I found SS back in 2016 and attended a seminar in Md, in 2017,, 63 soon to be 64 and going strong,, as the RIP says , STRENGTH is the Most important physical attribute !!! esp for masters age trainers. I work at your local Y and see seniors day after day going from machine to machine while the squat racks remain empty.
My wife and I worked out at Hygieia in Singapore while we were on vacation. I wanted to keep my starting strength program going while on vacation. So, I contacted Shawn and he was most gracious to let me continue my program. Fantastic gym and Shawn and Marvin are fantastic coaches....If I lived in Singapore...this IS MY ONLY GYM...:)
The best video I have seen regarding maintenance of strength. I need to humble myself at age 56, and lift a little lighter, because when I go too heavy, I do not back off, and then frustration sets in.
Surely impressive😊 And you’re right, we will unavoidably lose muscle mass by age unless we lift heavy now and then. The result of being passive is, as you often see it with old people, that we’re hardly capable of walking after a certain age. I’m 64 and have discovered that it doesn’t take that much effort in terms of time to stay fit. A couple of times each week in the gym (-where I really give it a go...), and I’m capable of maintaining my muscle mass. Other than that long walks, a healthy diet and enough sleep...but I’m sure that the weight training is the single most important factor👍
Yes, that's true - we see that a lot of older people lose their physical independence as they age due to being sedentary. Good on you! Future you will be thankful!
