People say the stupidest things about strength training after fifty. Sully takes down 10 of the Stupidest! Don't let mythology keep you from getting strong and fit at any age!
Most of these myths fall into a few overall categories: Strength training is dangerous. It will make you inflexible and muscle bound. It will cause tissue and joint damage. You should do cardio instead. It will flog your blood pressure. And it's too late for you, anyway.
NONE of this is true. Strength training, as outlined in The Barbell Prescription and Starting Strength, is the exercise prescription of choice for strong, healthy aging, for metabolic disease and diabetes, for osteoporosis, for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, and for the loss of mobility and strength. Find out why.
