Training & Sports Pick Up The PaceWe’ve heard a lot of old wives‘tales, but what about their husbands? Men lose 20 % of their muscle mass as they grow older, starting at the dreaded age 40. A few quick turns can easily reverse this, restoring strength along with the famous male ego - no matter how many birthday candles are on the cake.
Recent studies show that lifting weights quickly is the best way to bring back and build up muscle in maturing men. While the age old wisdom has been that any strength training will help maintain muscle, speeding up to power training is the best way to slow muscle loss and restore more youthful muscle strength.
It’s about time - an instant of time. By amping up lifting speed from 2-3 seconds of push with 2-3 seconds of recovery to 1 second of push to 2-3 seconds of recovery, muscle fitness in mature men becomes 3 – 4 times better than with the slower push. Lifting faster will create more force, and maintain better muscle mass, so don’t let yourself slow down. It’s a waste of time, energy and muscle.
The old wives may tell you that time heals all wounds, but their husbands can tell some quick tales about time keeping healthy muscles.
Enjoy your favorite flavored protein shake within 2 hours of any workout, at any age, and you’ve given your muscles the fuel to pop. Now that’s ageless wisdom.
