Book Reviews of Strength Training Past 50 - 2nd Edition (Ageless Athlete Series)
Book Review: Good information on reps and sets
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a Nautilus NS300X machine so I already have enough information on how to perform the exercises. The most useful information I got out of this book was the recommendations for the number of reps and sets required to reach a goal and the recommendations were based on results of real studies. For those just starting out, the recommendations for specific exercises and proper techniques would be very helpful. I have seen or read a number of fitness books but this one has been the most useful to me as a senior who is trying to maintain a good level of fitness in the most efficient way I can. At my age, Arnold's books on pumping iron have lost their relevance.

This book gives older exercisers all the information they need to get started, including advice on testing for strength and how to pick a qualified personal trainer.
