I'm sure you have done strength training before, but the thing to remember is that strength training workouts for men over 50 are noticeably different from the "bodybuilder splits" you may have tried back in the day. As a man in your 50s, you no longer need to be doing specialized body-part specific workouts like "chest and triceps on Monday" and "back and biceps on Tuesday." New research actually suggests that full-body strength training sessions a few times per week are one of the big secrets to losing fat and building muscle for guys over 50.
You will get the best results by training all muscle groups in a single workout. Full body strength training will help you maintain lean muscle and stay strong well into your 50s, 60s, and beyond. It's no longer all about building up the beach muscles to flex for the ladies! Don't get me wrong, you'll still be looking good, but strength training for health and weight loss should now be your primary focus. As a guy over 50, you need to continue using the most effective "bang-for-your-buck" exercises, like squats, dead-lifts, shoulder presses, and bench presses.Want to discover more?
