Most men over 50 are training in the wrong rep range — and it’s why their joints hurt, their muscles stay flat, and their progress has stalled. If you want strength and size without beating up your body, the sweet spot is the 6 to 12 rep range… but only when you pair it with controlled tempo, full range of motion, and true muscle intent. This is how you stimulate growth without destroying your joints or frying your nervous system. DM me the word TriCon and I’ll send you my free TriCon workout so

If you’re still chasing one-rep maxes after 50, you’re training your ego, not your muscle fibers. Here’s the truth: as you age, collagen fibers lose elasticity and joint cartilage starts to thin. That means your body can’t absorb the same pounding it used to, but that doesn’t mean you should stop lifting heavy. It just means you need to redefine what “heavy” really means. Heavy is relative. What feels heavy for one man might be moderate for another. For guys over 50, “heavy” is the weight you ca

Let’s define things first - ‘When I say Low rep’, I mean anything under 5-6 reps. Ideally, 3-5 or 3-6 reps; a rep range that we traditionally think of as mostly ‘strength building’. This rep range is sooo often ignored, ESPECIALLY by women and even moreso by women over 30, 40 or 50. You’ve heard that you should build muscle and you associate these lower reps with purely strength, and you tell yourself ‘I don’t want to be one of those power lifters’ or ‘I’m older so I don’t need to lift heavy’ -

5 reps or 30 reps? Doesn’t matter if you’re not close to failure 💡🏋️ Most lifters focus on rep ranges. But studies show you can build muscle across a wide range—as long as intensity is there. 🔹 5–30 reps = similar muscle growth 🔹 0–3 reps from failure = where it happens 🔹 8–12? Just convenient. Not magic. Effort > range. Comment what rep range you’ve seen the best results with. Tag a friend still chasing the “perfect” range. Follow for more science-backed training clarity. Check out my full
