Then, bump up the intensity a bit with the build phase before moving on to the stronger phase, in which you’ll build volume as you increase the number of reps and load for select exercises. The final phase, age strong, shows you how to work up to suggested strength standards for exercises such as push-ups, squats, and deadlifts.
Age Strong empowers you to take control of your body, gain muscle, improve body composition, and learn new skills so you can stay strong and feel capable for life!
