I have most of the Hardgainer mags and John McKean was a favorite. Time to pull them out again for a reread. I also remember reading long ago about how strongmen like the Saxon brothers, Hermann Göerner, etc. would stay with the same weights all year and only once a year try to top their best lifts. Coach Sommer is also a big proponent of staying at one intensity for 12 weeks at least then trying for a relatively large increase and repeating the process. I have found I do well when starting a new program like the ABC, to do it untimed other than noting start and finish and gradually moving toward OTM sets. I find that and doing brief isometrics building to max intensity has been a safe, steady and progressive way to train in my 60s.
Thank you, Dan, for answering my question. I have just surpassed my 5 rep back squat numbers in my 20s and I am wearing the same clothing size as when I was that age. Your answer makes so much sense to me. I'm going to add a 70 lb kettlebell to my hone collection to go along with my 53, 45 and 35. Great thing about kettlebells is I've gotten my teenage son and wife to join in my love for doing swings in the evening. I have gifted your Easy Strength for Fat Loss PDF to many of my friends who have joined me in over 50 club.
That's fantastic...this is wonderful to read.
I’m 50 and less sets and one set to failure 5 reps is the sweet spot I keep on breaking PRs and it does not mess me up like volume.. so I warm up really good and do one set of 5 to failure and I’m done! When I do higher volume my cns is trashed and recover is tough
That's interesting about the CNS here...
I'm 53, and I wonder all the time about adding weight to the bar. It seems like joint health is far more important than ego.
Reasonable increases are just fine but keep an eye on the Big Picture.
Great advice from the trenches as ever. Inspiration to apply to Max Shanks Ultimate Athlete that I have come back to - building upper body strength through gymnastic skill. Now I have a plan for the Deadlift and Airborne Lunge - THANKS DAN
Btw bought Kettlebell Workout Companion - highly recommended (as always with Dan’s books) I found it particularly useful for planning the kettlebell classes I run. Thanks Dan
Do like the idea of one top set for ‘as many’ working up Dan’s natural weights
Hey Dan, thank you, I only wish that I could add a second like to your videos/content.
"I should really know my own titles" Laughing Coffee out the nostrils on that one, Dan. Good stuff here as always!
It's funny how my brain will just go blank in these podcasts. I'm so focused on the question, I forget something obvious.
A question at 67 I always ask myself…how strong should I be and is there a need to still increase my strength (ie. Actual weights used) any more (it’s very good now IMO) Sometimes perhaps my EGO seems like the biggest muscle! Helpful discussion Dan! Btw I just purchased your Easy Strength for Fat Loss. Not usually an issue for me, but on first glance I like the approach you share!
What are your goals? Aesthetics or functional? I am 53 and I used to follow standards required for work performance. I am retired now and I have always carried. So, I am not going to be getting into any physical altercations, and there isn’t any necessity to meet a professional standard. I switched to kettlebells full time about three years ago, and have been injury free. My main objective is keeping up with my nine year old daughter as she grows up. If you are going just for functional strength, you can just increase the density vs the weight and not lose hardly any lean muscle mass. A better way of thinking about it is what is your injury recovery time going to be at 67. Easy strength is a great program, but the wth effect with kettlebells is a pretty big ego boost as well. I still hope to be killing it at 67, good on you.
@ agreed! Largely functional, but still enjoy the odd ego,lift! Rare though, as it does take me at least 3 times longer to heal these days! So injury avoidance is key!
The nice thing about lifting at 67 is that you are just so far ahead of everyone else our age...
@@DanJohnStrengthCoach most, but I’m often impressed by a few guys I see at the local gym, probably,several years older. Always remain a big fan btw of Clarence Bass and his work!
Dan you are an inspiration!
Thank you so much.
great insight as always
Glad you enjoyed it
