Get Ripped Fast!

Strength Training Past 50 2nd Edition

Strength training is an equal-opportunity exercise system; studies show that anyone who tries it can benefit. Muscle loss is inevitable through the years if you’re sedentary. But no matter how old you are when you start, strength training has nearly immediate benefits: more muscle mass, more strength, less fat. This book gives older exercisers all the information they need to get started, including advice on testing for strength and how to pick a qualified personal trainer.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great response
The response was immediate and the item was in the condition as advertised. I would purchase from the source again.

4 Stars Review of gift
I sent this book to a lady as a gift. She has not commented one way or another on it. I have to suppose that it got thrown on a book shelf and probably won’t be read. LOL

1 Star title a little deceiving. Typical Westcott.
I was looking for a book with information on training older adults. This book isn’t about that… It is a book on general weight training with general programs and general guidelines. It’s a typical Westcott book with a few pages of general guidelines and principles and a few program examples. The majority of the book is pictures of exercises which are absolutely useless if you own any other book on weight training and have a basic understanding of resistance training. If you know anything about weight training and exercise, don’t buy this book.

1 Star not as expected
This book is not for someone who has no access to machines. A lot of the book is devoted to the use of gym equipment. I was hoping for more instruction when there are no machines..or trainers….a basic book for beginners. This is not that book.

4 Stars Helpful to the elder exerciser.
A great method of education for those who are older, but want to be wiser about their fitness. Know your machines and “what” they work. Know your body parts and “how” they work. Wisdom saves time. Be wise, learn, then burn (calories).
