So excited for my client JoAnn. She is 59 and an active pickle ball player.
She just did 135lbs in the squat for the first time. We call this getting your first plate because she finally go to use the big 45lb plate on each side.
JoAnn has been training with me for about 3 months. When she started her squat she was at 60 pounds.
She has more than doubled her strength in a very short amount of time. All we did was add 5 pounds to her squat each workout.
After just 3 months of training she said she feels stronger than she was in her 20s.
She said strength training is about the only thing she has ever found that is truly like drinking from the fountain of youth.
She also has a higher confidence in her pickle ball game that allows her to play more aggressive.
She knows that doubling her strength has also gave her denser bones, stronger ligaments and tendons. While many of her friends that are in the same age are getting injured, she feels there's nothing better to prevent injuries than being stronger.
