[QUOTE="JimGainz, post: 152506, member: 19127"] I used to lift competitively in high school and college, now at 52 I have no desire to slug heavy weights around. My routine consists of dumbbells, and barbells – mostly complex movements such as deadlifts, front squats, bent over rows, overhead press – are the core of my program. I’ve recently begun incorporating farmers carries on my lifting days and this has done absolutely wonders for my shoulder strength, trap size, and scapular stability. I lift 4 days per week, hitting each body part twice, and I’m done in 30-40 minutes. No cardio other than casual bike rides or now, doing 1 or 2 rounds of the 7 minute workout app when I feel like it. As we age, resistance training becomes more important than cardio IMO. A lot of cardiac health is inherited and other risks can be mediated through statins if it becomes a problem – but old age muscle wasting is a real disease – and a real problem so it’s good that we keep up the strength training as we age.
