Описание: High Reps vs Heavy Weights: Which is best for muscle growth after 50

Are you over 50 and wondering if you should lift lighter weights for high reps or go heavier for fewer reps? The debate between high reps vs heavy weights is more than just a fitness trend—it's a critical question for your long-term health, independence, and muscle growth after 50.

In this video, I break down the science and practical application from my experience training thousands of people over 50. Discover why the real question isn't about reps or weight, but about your purpose in this stage of life. Learn how to strategically use both high-rep and heavy-weight training to preserve muscle, protect your joints, maintain bone density, and build lasting confidence and capability. If you’ve been hesitant to lift heavier weights due to fear of injury or the belief that it’s "too late," this video is for you. Let's train smarter, not harder, and secure your strong, independent future.
