Book Overview

Muscle and strength have no age limits.

With Building Strength and Muscle After 50, you can benefit from over 30 years of personal training experience from Chad Landers, who has trained high-profile clients such as Duff McKagan, William Zabka, Jerry Cantrell, Stephen Perkins, and Catherine Dent. He will guide you through the physical, hormonal, and mental hurdles that trainees over age 50 encounter in their efforts to build and maintain muscle and definition.

Building Strength and Muscle After 50 describes the importance of recovery, the value of resistance training, and the most effective ways to reduce the risk of injury while training. Landers discusses the big three age-related health issues--sarcopenia, metabolism decline, and osteoporosis--and will help you develop an approach to building strength that meets you where you're at.

The book contains 76 exercises for the entire body:

20 chest and back exercises
26 shoulder, biceps, and triceps exercises
12 core exercises
18 hip, thigh, and calf exercises

Whether you're returning to resistance training after a break or you've never picked up a weight before, the step-by-step instructions for each exercise make this an accessible and approachable resource. Chad's Take sections offer ways to maximize results and vary or modify an exercise for your unique goals. With nine programs ranging from two to four lifts per week, you can pick the plan that fits your schedule.

Practical and accessible, this resource is complete with a chapter on nutrition guidance to help you fuel correctly and contains an abundance of pop culture references meant to make the reading experience more enjoyable. Landers has trained dozens of clients in their 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and even 90s, proving that it's never too late to claim or reclaim your strength at any stage of life!
