Strength Training Over 40: The Only Weight Training Workout Book You Will Need to Maintain or Build Your Strength, Muscle Mass, Energy, Overall ... Without Living in the Gym (Workout Books)

Easy read. I bought the book in 2022 and put it aside. I read it from cover to cover today. Basic and clear. Great advice. I am looking forward to using the tools in this book.

Book is alright. Hoping it had more illustrations.

This book is easy to read and provides evidence based information. Provides the basic information for beginners and provides a good refresher for individuals with some exercise experience. The plans are great is you are beginning or returning to exercise.

Was an ok book. Short read and decent info. Didn’t really blow me away or let me know anything new. Would be a good book for a beginner.

I turn 40 this year. And I needed these reminders in my life to get me going to the next level. Simple yet powerful.

Excellent Book!

Great to keep around when your mind needs some refreshment

I hear all the time about the importance of cardio but rarely have I heard conversations centered around strength. There simply aren't enough people out there writing and talking about the importance of muscle and strength as we age and so it was refreshing to pick up a book that speaks directly to all of us men and women heading towards, or are well into, our second half of life.What I loved most about this book was two-fold.#1.) The author broke down the misconceptions around strength training. For example, as an over-50 guy myself I was nervous engaging in strength training for fear that I would get hurt and end up with more back pain than I was already in. But the opposite happened. Once I started deadlifting and squatting, my back pain started to significantly disappear. I got stronger and I got stronger quickly. I wouldn't have thought this was possible for my age but I was wrong.#2.) The author lays out a strength program so that you can get started on getting stronger immediately. This part is important as it's so easy to read a book and move on to the next book - and forget most everything you just learned from the book you just finished! I love books that help you and enable you to take action now.Throughout the book the author also outlines all the other benefits of strength training that come along with you getting stronger. And these benefits are enormous.I'm 53 years old and wish I had started strength training years ago. But I'm grateful to have learned that I'm still capable of being the strongest I've ever been in my entire life. How cool is that?!
