In my years as a strength coach, I’ve seen people go from chronic back pain to deadlifting 130kg. I’ve worked with clients with osteoarthritis who felt better because they doubled-down on their training to get stronger instead of following the traditional advice of avoiding weightlifting.

For the longest time, resistance training has been considered dangerous for people over the age of fifty. Now, through inspiring stories of many master athletes as well as science-backed research, we can confidently say that this couldn’t be further away from the truth.
