Female Masters Strength Athletes - Mostly the Same
What's different between strength training for men and women above the age of 50? Not much, really, as both desperately need the physical and mental benefits that barbell training provides.
Some differences exist between training men and women, but as men and women age, those differences become less important. Plus, for seniors, we're mostly discussing training for health, not trying to eke out PRs for competitions.
Female masters strength athletes train about the same as men. Programming, the approach to training, the exercises prescribed - these are the same for both men and women, before and after the age of 50.
We Need More Female Masters Strength Athletes
Women, for reasons we can only guess at, don't strength train as much as men. We'd love to start the trend to reverse this.
Adding muscle and strength only becomes more as people age, men or women.
Women look better and more feminine with the muscle that comes from strength training. Getting bulky doesn't happen by accident.
Consider how many young men who want to look like Arnold and train with barbells don't.
Instead, female masters strength athletes will gain confidence, vibrance, strength, mobility, and beauty - yes, beauty - from barbell training.

| 0:00.0 | Hey listeners, this is normally when we would talk about holiday sale or how |
| 0:07.4 | now is the right time to start with online coaching because of how much money |
| 0:10.5 | you can save. However, as I met with our marketing team earlier this month to |
| 0:14.8 | discuss promotional ideas, we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes |
| 0:19.3 | for people who want to work with a coach. And that called to mind how many of |
| 0:23.1 | our clients got into this for the form corrections and ended up making real |
| 0:27.8 | life transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal |
| 0:31.9 | barbell logic client is not afraid of hard work. They don't just have goals, they |
| 0:36.5 | are driven by continual self-improvement. They pursue strength because they |
| 0:40.7 | care deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. We know that |
| 0:45.6 | price is always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for |
| 0:48.9 | something. But our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully |
| 0:53.0 | deciding where to invest their money, they're also very intentional about how they |
| 0:57.3 | invest their time. And when you care about your time that much, there is fear that |
| 1:01.8 | you could waste your time and not see the results you want. If any of this |
| 1:05.6 | sounds like you, I'm here to make you a promise. You give us six months of two to |
| 1:10.6 | four workouts a week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, we |
| 1:14.8 | will give you all of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case |
| 1:19.3 | scenario is it ends up costing you nothing. The best case scenario is you invest |
| 1:24.1 | in yourself and you get exactly what you want out of your training. The only |
| 1:28.0 | risk is about on yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where |
| 1:32.4 | your goals are. Get matched with your coach now at barbelllogic.com slash coaching. |
