Subject: RE: Weight Lifting Originally posted by mtd157Hi - does anyone recommend incorporating weight lifting in their training program? If so when/how? Yes, but not the type of strength training, or for the reasons, that most of the proponents are going to give you.A well designed custom program to ensure proper mobility of the joints that should be mobile, and strengthening of the muscles around the joints that are meant to stabilize, can benefit almost every AGer. Both for athletic performance and life function. Limited doses of plyometric-type training can also benefit a percentage of athletes who have achieved a high enough fitness level, and don't have any conditions to contraindicate it.
