Type 2 muscle fibers are the fast twitch that keep us upright, that keep us from falling down.

We also will, without rebuilding muscle, the population studies show...

population studies again, we will decline 3% to 8% muscle mass per decade, such that by the time we're 70, we're 30% or 40% down.

It doesn't have to be that way, but it can be that way.

I specifically ask people to lift.

All lifting is good.

but you got to know why you're lifting.

If you're lifting for endurance, then fine.

Lift your five pound weight 30 times.

You do that.

My goal is not endurance.

My goal is strength and power.

If you're lifting for the biggest possible muscles, hypertrophy, fine.

Lift moderate weights 10 to 15 times.

That's not my goal.

My goal is to be strong enough to lift my own body or a average size man out of a dangerous situation, right?

It's for safety.

So to build strength, you have to lift heavier weights fewer times.

So the range is three to six.

Now, I know from taking care of people for so long that people like specific instructions.
