If you can train your muscle endurance with longer and lighter sessions and maximum strenght with high intensity, whats the (physical) difference in our muscles?
In: 6
High intensity power lifting will build muscle bulk. This is important for anyone, but especially those middle, aged and older for preventing injuries. It also feels great to have large well defined muscles. In my day, I used to get lots of compliments, often from the opposite sex.
Doing high percentage, lower weight workouts will also help prevent injuries and builds leaner and longer muscles. This helps in sports like track and field, baseball, soccer, etc. What is more important then how much weight you can lift is agility. Can you do push-ups? Can you do sit ups? Can you do pull ups? This is what they, focus on at Boot Camp in the military. I work with a woman who is a tiny little thing. But she was a competitive gymnast who can do more push-ups than I could ever dream of, and can do a ridiculous amount of pull ups. She is also a black belt in taekwondo.
