How to Lift Heavy After 60 Without Wrecking Your Joints
Lifting heavy weights is the best thing you can do for your body after 60. But there's a catch — your muscles can outlift your tendons, and after 60, a tendon injury heals in months, not days. That's why so many people our age quit before they ever see results. At 65, I'm lifting heavier than I did at 55, and I'm completely pain-free. But I learned the three rules in this video the hard way — golfer's elbow, rotator cuff tendonitis, and bicep tendonitis, each from breaking one of these rules. In this episode, I show you exactly how to lift heavy after 60 without wrecking your joints. 🎁 FREE GUIDE: THE 5-DAY SPLIT STRENGTH METHOD The exact warm-up routine I use before every workout is on page 5.

By my early 40s, I was 30 pounds overweight and couldn't run 50 yards. Now at 65, I climb ropes, do pull-ups, and run obstacle races. No trainer, no drugs, no shortcuts. Just an ordinary guy who refused to let a sedentary career win. If I can do this, you can too. #LiftHeavyAfter60 #StrengthTrainingAfter60 #RippedSeniors #FitnessAfter60 #TendonHealth #JointPain #SeniorFitness #MuscleAfter60 © Ripped Seniors Liability Waiver and Disclaimers: https://rippedseniors.com/disclaimer/
