Just for this week coming, I had to move the coffee hour. See the Calendar for details. Remember to update your own diary!

This is a bit of an embarrassing question, but I’m wondering if other studios have the same issue. We have a primarily an older client group 60 and beyond. The vast majority of our clients do not train to momentary muscular failure. They seem to still get benefit from the workout because they are seeing strength increases and report daily activities at home being easier to perform. There are only a small few that actually want to get pushed hard enough to go to muscular failure. A lot of our sessions just end up as a social 20 or 30 minutes with the client where they do moderate to moderately hard exercise. Sometimes this makes me feel like I’m not doing my job correctly. Does anyone else have this problem?

Over the past several months I've been putting my own advice back into practice with absolute consistency—high-intensity training, proper nutrition, recovery, and patience. The before-and-after picture I'm posting here isn't about perfection. It's simply proof that the principles still work. At 56 years old, I'm still a student of this game, and one thing remains true: the body will respond when you provide the right stimulus and respect recovery. I know there are a lot of experienced HIT guys in this community, so I'd love to hear how everyone's training has been going lately and what kind of results you've been seeing. I've also been putting out a lot of new content on my YouTube channel discussing High-Intensity Training, recovery, training after 40 and 50, and my experiences training alongside Mike Mentzer.

Hope everyone's doing well and still training hard. — Markus Reinhardt
