Powerlifting is a great way for men and women over 50 to build amazing strength, health and fitness. Competition is optional but senior powerlifters can compete well into their 70’s and beyond.
The programs in this book are designed with the senior athlete in mind. The primary emphasis is getting the greatest value from the training done.
All lifters must master the “skills of strength”. These are largely unknown to the average person doing workouts in a gym or at home. Most of these skills take place under the skin and out of sight.
The book goes into detail about mastering the skills needed for optimal lifting and perfecting lifting technique. This is probably the most detailed instruction on optimal lifting technique available anywhere.
Avoiding injury is essential for senior lifters and the programs and practices are designed to help minimize the chance for injury.
There are five workout programs for each of the power lifts as well as extensive treatment on overall physical conditioning.
A critical factor in attaining maximal performance are the mental skills needed for powerlifting. These are discussed at length.
The author has 70 years of experience in lifting weights and has played 8 different organized sports in his career. This book is based on his practical firsthand experience as a powerlifter who competed for 35 years at the national and international level. It is also based on extensive research in strength, health and conditioning.
The authors’ previous books have been given high reviews. The reviews on the first volume of Powerlifting Over 50 were 90% 5 star and 4-star reviews.
