024 Training, hypertrophy, and recovery for older people
About this episode
In this episode of Hypertrophy: Past & Present, Jake and Chris discuss Silver-Era author Peary Rader’s “training as you get older” guidelines and dive into how to construct a modern, physiology-led template for older lifters.
Key topics include:
- Why recovery, not “low stimulus sensitivity” likely limits muscle growth in older lifters
- Intra-session fatigue control in older lifters
- Programming for older lifters: volume, RIR, exercise selection, frequency
- Isometrics for older lifters
