024 Training, hypertrophy, and recovery for older people

In this episode of Hypertrophy: Past & Present, Jake and Chris discuss Silver-Era author Peary Rader’s “training as you get older” guidelines and dive into how to construct a modern, physiology-led template for older lifters. Key topics include: Why recovery, not “low stimulus sensitivity” likely limits muscle growth in older lifters Intra-session fatigue control in older lifters Programming for older lifters: volume, RIR, exercise selection, frequency Isometrics for older lifters
