I have osteopenia, and have lifted weights since my late teens. I was shocked at ostopenia diagnosis and started lifting heavier and getting plenty of protein. I improved my numbers in all measured areas.

Incredibly insightful! Loved Dr. Attia's take on how resistance training benefits women and older adults. Thanks for making the science so accessible!

How do you keep up fast twitch muscles when you have bad knees?

[@rlinkul]

@@lindashobe-e7j that’s a good question. Velocity training on selectorized machines works really well!

@ thank you! Speaking of Dr Attia, back in February he mentioned a study out of Australia based on high resistance weight training for people in their sixties and seventies with osteoporosis. Having osteopenia on the verge of osteoporosis, I did some research I started following the Liftmore Study done by the bone clinic led by Dr. Belinda Beck. I’m in Texas, not Australia, so I mimicked the program as closely as possible modifying one exercise because of a bad knee.. About four weeks ago I got my first DEXA scan since staring the program in Feb. I started crying when the doctor told me my bone density is improving!! I will be 70 on my next birthday, and right now I’m deadlifting 115 pounds. Who knew I could EVER do such a thing since a year ago every doctor told me never to lift over 25 pounds. Thank you for all the education you provide as well. You rock!

@@lindashobe-e7j Thank you for sharing!! So proud of you improving your scan!!! Great Job!!! 115lbs deadlift!! Get it girl!!!

Thank you in advance for your reply. You previously recommended “velocity training on selectorized machines”. Can you dumb that down for me? I’ve looked this up and tried to research what you mean as it would apply to a senior citizen, on a fixed income (read $10 per month gym membership at Planet Fitness whose young staff trainer isn’t familiar with this). All I can extrapolate from this is that I lift weight fast. I don’t know what kind of machines are selectorized machines, or if they have them at my gym. Me and other older folks, who are more than familiar with OA knees would love a bit more info. 🙂
