weight training at 60 years old

[jaslwo]

I’m turning 60 years old in a year. I’m wondering about changing up the way I weight train. Is it going to be impossible to go heavy ? Is it going to be impossible to push 20 sets? Should I focus more on lean muscle mass and forget power training?

bros there are some older dudes who still train heavy. it just depends on your body. and luck too

 

[ROIDDERS]

I don't think training heavy is a good idea. It's not necessary to build muscle. Anyway, that's a huge misconception.

I would train as hard as you can but listen to your body, that's going to be important. Don't let your body dictate what you do. Be smart.

i think that weight training can be done at ANY age. It's all about how you train. That's what smart people do.

60 years old and still hitting the weights. that is impressive. i'm glad you are pushing it

 

[wootoom]

you should work with a good PT. who can guide you. they will help you train safer

your strength will start dropping in your 60's. its wear and tear. its about getting older so adjust your training
