Kyle Sheridan, powerlifting coach and gym owner, shares valuable insights on how masters athletes can safely and effectively engage in powerlifting to maintain strength and mobility as they age.
• Mental strength is a common denominator among successful masters athletes
• Recovery is crucial - most masters athletes benefit from training only 3-4 days per week
• One of Kyle's 50+ female athletes broke world records deadlifting 529 pounds
• Powerlifting movements help build skeletal muscle and improve balance to prevent falls
• Protein intake should be 0.8-1g per pound of bodyweight for strength athletes
• Creatine monohydrate (5-10g daily) is recommended for all strength athletes
• Competition provides motivation and goals - the powerlifting community is extremely supportive
• Post-competition recovery should include at least a week off from barbell movements
• Food preparation doesn't need to be complicated but should be sustainable
• Masters athletes shouldn't fear starting powerlifting - it's never too late to begin
