Is the risk of doing formal strength training worth the reward?
have you been weary of squatting, deadlifting, Pressing, and other lifts that have successfully built the strongest, most powerful people on the planet?
If so, you're not alone.
Most guys who are over 40 would chalk these exercises up as being too risky.
And in many circumstances, I would have to agree.
But not for the reasons you may think.
You see, in my 25 year career in the world of strength and conditioning, I've seen thousands of well intentioned people perform these lifts.
And the truth is...most have no idea what they're doing.
And because of this...many DO end up in a bad place.
Leading many well-intentioned guys to rely on what they believe to be as "safer" things like weight machines, light dumbbells, or avoiding strength strength training altogether.
Problem is, these perceived "safer" exercises are creating a very low bar on how strong you can actually become.
And by accepting this lower limit, it keeps you at a higher risk for silly injuries and other orthopedic issues as you get older.
No-one ever uttered the words...I'm too strong.
So, how can you start using, rather than avoiding, the BEST exercises known to man to ramp up your real world, functional strength without having to worry about the dreaded "risks of injury".
2 Things
1. Movement Mastery
2. Perfect Progression
In this email, I'll cover Movement Mastery. In the next email, I'll cover Perfect Progression.
Movement Mastery is taking the time to learn HOW to perform these movements (Deadlift, Squats, Standing Overhead Presses, Cleans, Snatches, and more) like a professional.
And the truth is...if you take the time to learn these lifts, under the eyes of a very skilled coach, they are 100% safe and will give you the foundations you'll need to launch yourself into another stratosphere of strength.
This is how, in Athletic After 40, we're able to build some of the strongest over 40 guys on the planet.
Guys who are much stronger than most men half their age.
And the best part...
When you build this kind of strength, you'll be able to say "yes" to all the physical "adventures" that come up in your life.
...Without the worry of getting hurt.
In Athletic After 40, Movement Mastery is where all of our clients begin.
Using just a wooden stick, we look at our clients movement patterns and address all the things that need attention before we start building.
Movement Mastery can take anywhere from 1-6 weeks, depending on the person, and many of our clients find this time to be very educational and some have even called it "fun!".
One Athletic After 40 Client had this to say...
"I am really enjoying this! I had no idea there was so much involved. This is exactly what I need."
Stay tunedfor the next email where I'll share the details of part 2...Perfect Progression.
