I mean, you can get to failure with a five pound weight.
You just have to lift it a lot of times.
Your cardio needs to be 80-20, 80% base training, 20% high-intensity sprinting.
That's about two days a week.
And you need to lift weights, not for endurance, not a lot of reps, lightweight, not for hypertrophy, which is a little heavier weights, but 10 to 15 reps in general per set.
unless your goal is hypertrophy.
In aging, my whole focus is longevity and aging.
My goal is strength and power.
Strength, meaning what I can lift in a single lift, power in what I can lift over time, because I am trying to keep you from falling down.
I am trying to keep you independent in your home and not end up in somebody else's care because you're too weak to get up from a chair or climb your own stairs or open the pickle jar and make your own food, right?
So to lift for strength and power, you have to lift heavier.
And the ranges on those lifts are three to six reps for four sets.
To build muscle for strength and power, four reps times four sets.
Because if I get to near failure in four reps, meaning with good form in the power lifts that I do, I can do, let's do bench press.
I can do four reps of bench press
And I'm almost a failure.
I can eke out five.
It's going like this.
One side's going down.
But I'm not doing six.
