I have made a couple of posts along the lines that at 49 it is a good idea for me to create a new training regimen aimed primarily at joint development.<\/p>\n

Anybody like me that has trained for 30 plus years has a foundation of extensive muscular development.<\/p>\n

With andropause comes collagen deterioration which is directly related to hormonal decline. One can dose on colostrum, antler and other supplements.<\/p>\n

But there is an array of hormones and other biochemicals at play plus years of accumulated micro injury (and in some cases macro).<\/p>\n

So having torn and now largely healed my RC I have spent a year doing shoulder joint physiotherapy. Basically its bodybuilding for your connective tissue.<\/p>\n

So its a real good idea to do this for the entire body – right?<\/p>\n

Jaw, Neck, Back, Hips, Shoulders, Knees, Elbows, Wrists & Ankles.<\/p>\n

All points where disability comes up in masters athletes.<\/p>\n

Obviously this requires a paradigm shift as so much time will be involved there is not going to be time for a standard bodybuilding routine.<\/p>\n

But my body is built & on this routine I can maintain mass & strength – maybe even make gains.<\/p>\n

Certainly much of what we call bodybuilding & power training can be a part of this routine.<\/p>\n

However there will be much more derived from physiotherapy exercises for the specific joints.<\/p>\n

For the shoulders you must train like you had a torn RC, same for all the rest following the carefully designed protocols to develop the integrity of those joints.<\/p>\n

If you do this for two years training specifically for joint integrity you will have transformed the internal structure of your body allowing you to periodize with power lifting & bodybuilding as a masters athlete.<\/p>\n

I have the shoulder routine down now & even as recently as 3 months ago I was still finding important new information after months of intensive research on shoulder rehab.<\/p>\n

Next I will introduce hip & glute training – again it will take months to get down, then I will add back & spine.<\/p>\n

Eventually a year or two from now I will have my own training system totally focused on my joints & connective tissue.<\/p>\n

I’m doing this for longevity.<\/p>\n

Now as a part of this longevity I must add the correct cardio vascular protocol HIIT – which I already do.<\/p>\n

I must add qigong & yoga methods, herbalism and other modalities to enhance my longevity.<\/p>\n

Once I finally move from New Zealand to the UK I will indulge in peptides, SARMs, hormone replacement & stem cells.<\/p>\n

It wont happen over night but I will develop a proper athletic conditioning system for older athletes.<\/p>\n

Where we all seem to falter is the joints primarily with cardio vascular coming second.<\/p>\n

I am also an avid cognitive enhancement enthusiast so that too is part of the program.<\/p>\n

My goal: To still be an athlete with good health & a good physique well past 60 & by 2038 even beyond 70.<\/p>\n

At present I call it “joint centric training”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
