Synopsis
The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40 directly addresses the most pervasive problem faced by aging humans: the loss of physical strength and all its associated problems - the loss of muscle mass, bone mineral loss and osteoporosis, hip fractures (a terminal event for many older people), loss of balance and coordination, diabetes, heart disease related to a sedentary lifestyle, and the loss of independence. The worst advice an older person ever gets is, Take it easy. Easy makes you soft, and soft makes you dead. The Barbell Prescription maps an escape from the usual fate of older adults: a logical, programmed approach to the hard work necessary to win at the extreme sport of Aging Well. Unlike all other books on the subject of exercise for seniors, The Barbell Prescription challenges the motivated Athlete of Aging with a no-nonsense training approach to strength and health - and demonstrates that everybody can become significantly stronger using the most effective tools ever developed for the job.

      The Prescription to a healthy and longer life

      Great information, easy to read and follow. Extensive research is backed up in their Notes, Appendix, Glossary and Bibliography. Authors back up what they print and what they do in their workouts. Leaves no doubt as to their research and study.

      Consider this book to be a "must have!"

      This really is an excellent, thorough, and very informative guide book for anyone interested in strength training, but certainly for those past 40 years of age. I highly recommend this one to everybody. You should consider it a "must have" for your library of books on physical culture.

      Fitting, especially when weight training is sometimes referred to as the "iron pill."

      This is a great book that offers honest and straight forward information. It is a definite read for anyone who plans to pursue weight training, especially one who has reached the age of 40 or beyond. The writers give a realistic view of what to expect each decade that one pursues this noble endeavor.

      Jonathon has some strong opinions and quotes discredited individuals like Ann Kata on page.7. Reads like a high school biology text, but there is some valuable info. It's not a training manual, and if that's what you're seeking, he recommends Starting Strength, which is a classic. My copy was listed as good, but almost every page was highlighted with yellow marker.
