Over 50 and Training Hard

From Bodyspace profile, a 50 year old Vancouver woman training really hard: ” Bodybuilding.com *Transformation of the Week* February 14, 2008

I have lost 55 pounds and 12 1/2 inches from my waist. My bodyfat has dropped from 41% to 17%. I have gained muscle in areas that I didn’t even know I had lol Now at 50 years old I feel good about my appearance once again and know that bodybuilding and clean eating is a lifelong commitment that I’m prepared to accept. When I look in the mirror I don’t cringe and when I shop for new clothes I can wear a size XS instead of a size 18! My focus now will be to gain more muscle.”

“The New Rules of Lifting for Women”

The New Rules of Lifting for Women: Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess women_lifting_phixr.jpg(Hardcover), Published December, 2007, by Lou Schuler (Author), Cassandra Forsythe (Author), Alwyn Cosgrove (Collaborator)

From one Amazon review: “It’s a mix of straight sets and superset total-body workouts with emphasis on functional fitness and periodization, so it’s built around 6 basic multi-muscles moves (such as squats and deadlifts). There’s also a progession with a mix of variations to prevent workout boredom. It’s a little hard to figure out the charts at first glance, but what they’ve done is spell out every workout for you.”
