Mindsip insights from this episode:
Train power through explosive lifting techniques
To improve muscular power, lift a moderate weight (around 50% of your maximum) as quickly and explosively as possible during the pushing or pulling phase of the movement.
Prioritize muscular power to prevent falls with age
As you age, how quickly you can access your strength (muscular power) is more critical for preventing falls than your maximum strength alone.
Enhance muscle strength to reduce early death risk from falls
A major reason for early death in older individuals is the inability to quickly access muscle strength to catch yourself during a misstep, leading to falls and hospitalization.
Combat muscle loss to maintain metabolic health after 60
A major reason your metabolism slows after age 60 is due to the changes in the amount and quality of muscle mass on your body.
Maintain stable metabolism until age 60
Based on data from thousands of people, your metabolism remains stable from age 20 to 60 and only then begins to decline.
Increase weekly lifting volume to build muscle
To build muscle, focus on progressively increasing the total amount of weight you lift each week, using a resistance you can't lift for more than 20 repetitions.
