Episode notes
INSIGHT

Power Drops Before Strength

  • We lose power output earlier than maximal strength as we age, so preserving explosive ability matters.
  • Train joint-friendly explosive movements to keep CNS output and fast-twitch fibers functional.
ADVICE

Pick Joint-Friendly Power Work

  • Use joint-friendly alternatives like medicine ball throws, box jumps, or back tosses for power work.
  • Prefer variations such as box squats or pendulum movements to reduce joint stress while training explosiveness.
ADVICE

Favor Slightly Higher Reps And Safer Tools

  • Raise rep ranges slightly (e.g., 3–5 reps) to curb ego and reduce injury risk while maintaining strength.
  • Use tool choices like RDLs, trap bar, or multi-grip benches to stay strong but joint-friendly.
