So in Unbreakable, my book, I have chosen four reps, four sets, because that's how I lift, right?

That's how my strength conditioning coach, he's a CSCS, which is the highest level

certification you can get in strength and conditioning, taught me to lift.

So four reps, four sets, that will build strength.

But that's also not where we stop.

We need strong and we need power.

Why do we need power?

So when you trip over your bag that you put by your desk, you're fast twitch enough that you don't fall, right?

So how do we build power?

Power lifting has to do with tempo.

So it's lighter weights but faster.

Midlife and beyond, I teach people to lift for strength and power because that's what's going to keep us from falling down.

That's what's going to keep us independent and hopefully out of a nursing home.

Lots of people are told that.

Oh, I have bulging discs in my back.

I can't possibly lift.

Oh, I have arthritis in my knees.

The best thing for me to do is just to rest.

That is not what the data shows.

The data show people with bulging discs not only can lift but should lift.
