Wits & Weights | Fat Loss, Nutrition, & Strength Training for Lifters Ep 45: Q&A - Strength for Women Over 40, Gym Safety, 3 vs. 4 Day Splits, Workout Nutrition
This is the first Q&A episode ever for Wits & Weights!
I'm covering four training-related questions from followers of our Facebook group (Wits & Weights) and plan to do more episodes like this to answer your questions there and on Instagram (follow me at @witsandweights), with a shoutout to you (if you want)!
And if you like this Q&A type of episode, let me know and I'll do more of them to release on Fridays between my other episodes. Just email me (philip@witsandweights.com) or direct message me on Instagram.
Questions:
- What would a solid strength training protocol for women over 40 look like?
- Another woman over 40 here. I have been lifting with progressive overload for a year and I have not been able to progress as much as I would like. It’s not that I don’t want to go heavier; I just don’t feel safe in doing one rep, let alone 4-6. What are my options?
- Does research show a difference between a 3-day full-body strength training schedule vs. breaking it up into a 4- or 5-day split such as Push/Core, Pull/Calves, Legs/Core, Full Body?
- What are your recommended pre- and post-workout nutrition strategies?
