While supplementation and nutrition are rightly considered indisputable prerequisites for phenomenal fitness past the age of 50, little in the way of progress can be achieved without a safe and effective training plan predicated on principals that work. Fit at 50 – Training for Great Results and Longevity is only achieved through a balanced ratio of consistent training, targeted supplementation and optimum nutrition that may we achieve and ultimately maintain the quality gains we so ardently desire.
But the wrong kind of training can do more harm than good. Thus it’s ultra-critical to ensure that the all-important sets and reps, form, function and training split are properly programmed and modified as we age. Drawing from the recent success of Sean Haralson, currently in the best shape of his life at age 50, this article will show you how to balance and structure your training for superior size, shape and shreds. Though entirely beneficial and largely to be encouraged, training past the age of 50 can be a tricky proposition for many.

I LEARNED THAT I CAN USE LIGHT TO MEDIUM WEIGHTS, UTILIZE MACHINES, CABLES, AND EVEN BANDS TO ACHIEVE GREAT WORKOUTS“Change is good, especially when you get older. Don’t be one of those people that do the same body part, on the same day every week like a robot. You know what I’m talking about! You walk into the gym on a Monday and its national chest day worldwide. How does this happen? It’s like a disease that’s spread all over the world. It doesn’t matter if I’m in the east or the west, or any place in between. It’s actually kinda funny. You know what I do to resolve this issue? I let everyone do chest on Monday and take advantage of all the empty leg or back machines. Genius! I’ll go have a killer leg workout, or crush back! Then on Tuesday, if I choose, I can get a great chest workout in and don’t have to fight for a chest machine. There’s no rule that says you have to even start your workout week on a Monday. If you work a normal Monday through to Friday work week, which I don’t, then why not start your workout week on the weekend. I love to work out on the weekends, especially in the afternoons when the morning rush is over.”
