This is how you train older clients for vastly better results and health.
In these studies, we see that roughly 12 sets in total per week of resistance training across two separate gym days track incredibly well.
Read on to uncover the secrets of successful strength training for the elderly. Load, rep range, rest and exercise choices, and why that is.
Welcome to another Strength By Fitness article, today today we will talk about the crossroad of body mass, muscle fibers, strength, speed, agility and explosive power and how its all connected.
In short, this article will explore how you should train to become stronger, faster, and more explosive as an athlete and person.
This comes into play when your total mass is already too big for your relative strength to successfully power even faster, and more explosive movement.

Long-term stress harms your health in a major way. But a healthy fact-based lifestyle mitigates a lot of that negative impact.
And just as you can learn to eat healthier foods, and create healthier food, exercise, and lifestyle habits you can also learn how to reduce chronic stress.
A 6-minute summary of our long-form article talking about obesity and nutritional deficits in billions of people, and how a high-protein plus whole plant-based food approach solves both issues for almost everyone.
Saturday is one of our weekly gym-free recovery days. This means that we prioritize ‘us’ time, chilling, relaxing, recovering, eating healthy high-protein foods supplanted with plenty of whole plant-based foods, and doing nonexhaustive activities that are done for adventure, fun, family, relationship, calm, rejuvenating and quality of life time.
Around the world, billions of people eat too much food while at the same time not getting enough nutrients. But how bad is the situation really?.
Let us look at some nutrients and how many are estimated to be deficient globally right now.
Globally speaking, this disregard for cause & consequences becomes even more apparent in the way far too many still do not acknowledge the importance of a healthy planetary home and the fact-based suffering and harm we are causing both ourselves and our planet by our refusal to live in a sustainable way.
The blood-brain barrier and plastic pollution.
So, following this short introduction I have drummed up, we have finally arrived at the core of my article. Man-made plastic pollution and the way it encapsulates everything in our earthly home by now.
Even our brain.
Think of Earth as an almost closed-off circular system with a finite capacity to handle pollution, natural resource drain, loss, and imbalances.
Now take roughly 9 billion humans and add our environmental impact together, and you are left with the mathematical reason why sustainability matters.
Case A.
Beef requires roughly 20 times more land than nuts, and 35 times more than grains to produce the same amount of edible protein.
The agonist-antagonist super set is capable of cutting your workout time in half without falling too far behind the strength progression of a traditional workout plan. But, you can also make use of the way I do, which allows you to cram more high quality workout volume and sessions per week into the same gym time envelope of your regular workouts, without compromising on progression at all.
The thermogenic real-life approach. Pile up protein & fiber, eat nutritionally complete quality foods & enjoy high-satiety meals.
Welcome to yet another fact-based article from Strength By Fitness.
What happens if you lift weights and either consume protein following the RDA or use a high-protein plan with 1.6 grams per kilo of body weight and day for omnivores ( 1.8 for plant-based ). Double the progression is the answer.
You are welcome to tune in to episode 2 of our YouTube podcast as we discuss Protein Et Al. Namely the Fact-based importance of high-protein foods for your health, body composition, and fitness across your entire health span.
High-protein plans provide vastly better health outcomes and biological aging. Recovery & fitness progression also improves drastically. This brand new Strength By Fitness article takes a look at the important protein studies from 2023 and 2024.
The fact-based impact of Creatine Monohydrate on our health, fitness, well-being, and aging process. From strength, and intense gym, and sports capacity to cognitive function, the impact of Creatine supplementation is well-researched and understood and the case for daily, lifelong Creatine supplementation continues to increase.
Welcome back dear readers to another fact-based article from the STYRKA team at Strength By Fitness. Today I´ll be a little philosophically provocative with many of you, after all in today’s aesthetically focused world increased hypertrophy is for many the main pillar in their fitness plans, and the oft unspoken reason they go to the gym at all. But is that really the best big pillar focus for your gym visits?
