I often think about this..
Oliver reckons its not possible for a natural to get above 90 within 8-10%.
Is it the same for strength gains, i guess they are all comparative.
You know Wim the old fella who competes with PA? He's still getting stronger at 79 years young. Recently he did 2.5 comps (a raw 3 lifts comp, a raw bench-only comp and an equipped 3 lifts comp) in one day.
He started lifting at 70 though, so had he started earlier, he might've peaked younger.
Before Markos gets in.... His old client James is over 65 I think..
he's been getting stronger over the year or so he's been training there..
last deadlift was 202.5kg??
50 this year.
I still train with the same intensity as I did when I was 30.
Progression is slow but still there.
When I was 30 I made a decision to train in a way that ensured I could still train when I was 50, fuck, fifty was old back then, my goal is to still lift into my more senior years.
As I've aged I've realized the strength in my hips is the first to suffer, machines have also become my friend.
I had the fortune to listen to my elders, it's helped.
