  • Strong Curves by Brett Contreras—This program can help you target glute muscles. The book illustrates warm-ups and exercises—four 12-week full-body programs with emphasis on glutes. Glute Lab by Brett Contreras—This book is more complex and informational. In the meantime, walking lunges and various deadlifts are good…

  • Land softly? Landings should be controlled and focused while still being able to maintain a fast pace. If you are landing hard with a loud thump, that could be the culprit. If you have had previous injuries or osteoarthritis, that could be the culprit. Maybe switch out some work with low impact circuits. That may give you…

  • I started at 56yo with a 10-15lb kettlebell from TJMaxx. These are good to practice the movements. I later donated them. Then I bought a 25 and 35 from CAP. I now use these for carries and swings. I use dumbbells for TGU. This combo is good for my core work and specific power training. The handles on all the sizes were…

  • @watts6151 –thanks I’ll try the hold. I might have to reduce weights (no straps). I work with a barbell and focus on setting the bar before each rep so I’m not getting the momentum.

  • I have a similar question for the barbell row. I have been lifting a heavy load for two months. The weights stay the same but I increased the reps the second month. I feel like my arms are doing more of the work than my back. My form is correct. I have less rest between sets. Would it be wise to reduce the weight on the…

  • Where I live, we have community colleges and cities that normally offer sports classes. ⛵️ 🎾 ⚽️ 🥋 🤺 … The upside is making friends. The downside is the pandemic; it’s limiting and sucks. Hopefully we’ll get through this together and get back to normal.

  • For me: lifting heavier = more power for my sport. That is hard to give up. But there are limits how far one can go. I wonder if a pyramid one day a week could help maintain strength while you cut and maintain volume with for frequency or… https://twitter.com/the_hough/status/1477267010174308355?s=20

  • Sometimes you need to go up 1-2 lbs. Don’t dumbbells go up in 5-pound increments?

  • 100 seated band abductions. Then I go straight to ascending squats—12/8/5/3/2 then descend with sets. Glute work in general helps my knee alignment.

  • Sports like tennis, pickleball, soccer… can be great for helping with stamina, balance and mobility. So, if any of these team sports interest you (and your companion), ask your physical therapist when you can sign up for a class at your level. Generally team activities are filled with competitive yet very helpful and…

  • Can you lunge? Walking lunges or static lunges can target glutes.

  • I switched to Syrokan. I used to buy Moving Comfort’s Maia but Brooks changed the design and it now feels more like a push-up bra. Syrokan has a full-coverage high-impact bounce-control minimizer sports bra.

  • I’d like to know more about the dosing correctly; would Barbell Medicine be the place to go? I get the power from heavy lifting but get breathless without the quick interval training. Definitely the lifting helps me deterring injuries and muscle loss as well as the power. But I feel I still need the quick spurts for…

  • As a former athlete you may be able to get back quicker than those who never trained. The 10 to 15-minute interval can begin at a pace challenging to you and proceed over time at a more intense pace. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/29/well/coronavirus-exercise-heart-health.html

  • Google *4 seconds exercise* and you can find a study and articles. I like a 10-15 minute fast-paced push/pull body weight circuit to help with my conditioning. Also a fast paced walk helps. Warm up and cool down.
