Programme 9 — Over-50 Strength

Sixteen weeks of strength foundations built for the 50-plus body, starting where you actually are.

Two to three sessions a week, opening with bodyweight and dumbbells and progressing to the barbell. Conservative starting loads, longer warm-ups, and more recovery between sessions than a 25-year-old needs, because at this stage recovery matters more and per-session intensity matters less. This is education on training after fifty, not medical guidance: get medical clearance first, especially after a long sedentary stretch, and specific conditions warrant specialist input. You will progress slower than at 25. You will also still progress. Full session-by-session spreadsheet included. Companion to Vol. 32 (Training Over 50).

Includes the complete audiobook (MP3, AI-narrated).
