How resistance training builds bone and muscle│Dr. Brad Schoenfeld

Resistance training exercises exert powerful forces on the bones, slowing bone loss and promoting bone accretion. Engaging in resistance exercise for bone health takes on greater significance as we age, as bone mass decreases markedly, especially in women, who comprise nearly 80 percent of all osteoporosis cases. Incorporating exercises that require the movements of multiple joints - such as squats, pushups, or rows - can really pay off.
While it's never too late to incorporate resistance training into one's fitness routine, Dr. Schoenfeld asserts that there may be no minimum age. Lifting weights can yield physical advantages and benefit self-esteem, body image, and mental fortitude. One will gain the greatest benefits from resistance exercises when they're part of a lifelong fitness program. In this clip, Dr. Brad Schoenfeld discusses the benefits of starting and maintaining resistance training across the lifespan.

Another great clip from the original video. I’m 63 and just getting into resistance training and the information and encouragement is very much appreciated. Thank you

My gym has lots of people in their 60s and 70s, both men and women. At 67, I'm nowhere near the oldest person there.

@1:47 OP can also come from longterm use of drugs incl PPIs, steroids/prednisone, opioids and even some antidepressants to a degree. In theory chronic stress and cortisol release could mimic prednisone and also be a factor in bone quality and health - not just bone mineral level.

I just discovered your channel and I’m already hooked. Excellent interview. I’m a 66 year old female that I’m very much into fitness for over 30 years. Unfortunately I have osteoporosis. I don’t know why that happened because I’ve been into lifting weights and running since early twenties. I used to compete in bodybuilding (novice) my guess is the extremely strict diet and low calories when getting ready to compete. That’s just my guess.

Are you on hormone replacement therapy?

Don't Sarms such as Ostarine increase bone density at any age?

[@jamesboyle806]

Yes,muscle centric health is the way to go with low carb ,high fat mostly meat diet!

I am 28 and I have been doing resistance training for last year and a half. I feel like a brick. 🧱 Gonna keep on doing this. Moderate intensity with a high level of consistency.
