Show by Kolby Krystofik and Oxnard|MVMNT
A member asked me why we teach complicated movements like the snatch and the clean and jerk. Why not just lift heavy things and go home?Honest answer: if you only want muscle and stronger bones, you don't need them. Almost any resistance training builds lean mass, and I go through the research showing that. But that's half of what aging does to you. The other half is cognitive, and almost nobody trains for it.In this episode:- Why bands, dumbbells, and machines all work for lean mass, and what the 49-trial meta-analysis actually found- The LIFTMOR trial: women averaging 65 with diagnosed bone loss, lifting heavy twice a week, and what happened to their spines- The juggling study that changed how I coach, and the 23% number that answers "I'm too old for this"- Dance versus repetitive exercise: same intensity, same time, very different brains- Whether Olympic lifting is actually dangerous after 45, and what the injury data says next to football and track- Danny, a member in his sixties who keeps recovering faster than his doctors expect, and what he's still learningFree Foundations Assessment: https://oxnardmvmnt.com/foundations-assessmentWe coach at MVMNT Oxnard and CrossFit Ventura.
