I'm 55 this year and found Oly lifting 2 years ago. Some gems in this video as answers to questions I have asked myself. Thanks
started oly when I was 41 and WISH I had started it sooner, love it - such a great workout. I realize Im not going to the Olympics or even Nationals but I certainly feel great seeing how much stronger its made me in my primary lifts and in life
Jo Ann, you need to write a book for female masters strength athletes! There's absolutely NOTHING out there now, I'VE LOOKED. I'm 47 and just started getting serious about this weightlifting thing, with no athletic background whatsoever. Your experience and commentary on training considerations and possibilities of achieving success beyond the 20s and 30s are inspirational and timely. Thanks JTS for another great video.
Annie Occident I just love to see comments like yours, I hope you get on with developing your training, and you get a good buzz off it for years to come..
I'm 46 and I'm still learning especially from reliable resources like this...
thanks for the encouragement. so far, so good, SO MUCH FUN!
"You should write a book because I (me me me) am weightlifting now."
I thought the same thing! So, I started my own Channel! I too am a Master Weightlifter 59kg weight class and 52yrs old. I started when I was 50. I searched CZcams for SOMEONE, ANYONE to follow. I am not a professional but have competed 8 times in 2 years and training for Masters Nationals (my second time) in Salt Lake City. I think anyone who is lifting who wants to share their story, should share content. I figure it won't hurt to share my story and hope to inspire other Master lifters. I hope to be inspired too!! I think Max and Jo Ann are amazing and hope to get out to Cali to train with them someday!
Hello there,I was just going to the comments as aways. .. there's a very good book called THE BARBELL PRESCRIPTION, it changed my life!
this is great. i just turned 45 and im the strongest ever. awesome video
Great video - thank you. Very helpful and inspiring, both from the coaching tips given by Max and also the competitor/athlete advice from Jo Ann. I'm now lifting consistently at 36 after 20+ years of competitive running and look forward to my 10 years of improvements!
It is nice to see this type of video. I just did my first powerlifting meet this year at age 36 and still am making all kinds of gains, getting close to a master level total 😀
I'm 27, 3 months self taught, aiming to compete on masters category lmfao. I'm self taught, okay?
Max and Greg Everett are gifts from youtube weightlifting heaven
Thank you for posting this video. I am a Masters Weightlifter and a Weightlifting coach. You have inspired me to add more informational videos to my channel other than just lifting.
ohh thank you, that was very helpful! Only started seriously Power Lifting a year ago (I'm 39 now) and there are a few good points to take away from this video! :)

Glad I found this video...I only started CrossFit two months ago and discovered I love weightlifting! The Snatch being the favourite. However, I’m a late starter (late 40s) and no previous athletic background. So good to hear that I have potential to progress for at least another 10 years ahead of me. Gives me hope and excitement. And I’m just discovering that recovery is such a vital component of training. Thank you! More videos like these for masters athletes please...😍
Jo Ann is great!
Love to see a similar video geared towards masters powerlifters.
Yes please Chad!!!!!
....well, an update from the 4-5 year old one.
AND Thanks! Jo Ann. Good info. We need a support group. Hello my name is Brad, I'm really old, and I cant stop killing it in the gym!!
Good stuff. Way to go Jo Ann! Really appreciate the recovery-related content.
I am starting at 70yrs of age..its a mix of weight training exercises and weightlifting exercises, cause I am so tight,, The split jerk I will look into, as squating with a weight over head the body just refuses to drop..its difficult because of my remote location , no gym or coaching, its just my old weight training knowledge added to the snatch and c&j technics,,,I give myself one year before I compete, six months of technic and then add weights....cross ya fingers..
Thanks so much for this. Inspires me as a master's lifter to keep pushing smart and get stronger. Love it! ❤️
I'm a master's division Powerlifter. First, thanks for posting this. Second, damn you!!!! Now I'm all depressed. Reality sucks.
I‘ve more and more people in training, which never do sports before 🙈 But I‘m impressed what is possible. Most of them in the range 35-45 are able to do a snatch with bodyweight after 3 years.
Great video! I'm only 35, but I feel that this might help me too, as I feel that my recovery is the one thing that I need to improve to see some progress.
I wonder if you guys have any lifters in the 55+ age group...I think after maybe 55 the game changes quite a lot. Most of the advice on master's lifters seems to focus on the 30-45 age. I always sort of feel a bit...glossed over? If training a 55 year old is the same as training a 35 year old, then training a 20 year old is the same as training a 40 year old. just saying.
We don't have anything specific to that just that age group. There is nothing magic about any age that you can draw specific changes because of. Particularly for Masters lifters, the Training History has so many potential variables and the older they get, the greater the variance. You could have Dave Ricks, 57 years old and IPF Open World Record Holder in the Squat who has been competing for nearly 40 years, or you could have someone who is 55 and hadn't done any training from age 25-54. The changes are all going to relate to the points Max and Jo Ann discuss in this video based on the specific individual's ability to recover, movement skills, injury history, etc.
We need A LOT more from Juggernaut on Masters lifters. I do power lifting but all of this is still helpful. Masters are a big demographic and they have more money to spend! Juggernaut is hands down the best out there (today) so I dont want to look any place else. Get Israetel and Nuckols (and whoever else) to start pulling in research (find phd candidates researching the Masters athelete!). Get more video's. I'm 55 and benching more than I did in my 20's ( did 325 last max) but my recovery is killing me, looks like my week is going to be 14 days almost for squat at least (the rest I can do once a week). I HATE waiting that long!!!! And I'm spending A LOT of time backing my squat down to nothing so I can get that IPF below parallel squat. Am I wasting my time? I see lots of people NOT doing a below parallel in the juggeraut videos. WE NEED MORE MASTER INFO! Make it so.
fantastic insights from a master. thank you
Congrats from Spain :)
Great Video.
I started Olympic Weightlifting at age 62...
I believe the misconception training for master lifters is 100% should not be attempted in training, like trying to break a single attempt in training. I believe training should only go up to 95%. All that 100%, should be preserve for the competition platform. So while training, you should be training your mind, the mental power. It is better if you are under train going into competition, then slightly overtrain. To me, the important thing is to preserve your joints for competition time. When competition time comes around, you are fresh, and everything in your body and mind is working at the ultimate level, and you are ready to give your all at competition time.
This was awesome, thanks for the real and positive advice
You're so welcome
this was a very good video!
acupuncture is literally nothing so not sure when you would need it
Thoughts on powerlifting for strength one half of the year and then switching over to weightlifting the next half and alternating like that? I really like both and there seems to be decent room for crossover up to a point. Perhaps you'd have to do a little oly practice during the powerlifting to keep the movements practised, rather than starting back from scratch each time...

Great video.
Few things are much clearer now. How can I get few words of advice from Max???
Thanks. I'd suggest asking him a question on one of our What's Your Question? videos.
My biggest challenge for me is to recover...can you suggest the supplements that do help?It noticed Mrs Aita mentioned Epsom salt baths-that would be in warm water or cold?
Epsom salts in very hot bath. throw in some bentonite clay to purify your bathwater of toxins, and metals.
ZMA, turmeric at 1000 mg/day, betalaines in the form of powdered freeze-dried beets, cod liver oil, and glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM, all these also seem to help. Things change after 50. Mrs. Aita raised a good point about reducing volume and increasing intensity as a way to help recovery. Following a difficult cycle, I tried that in the next cycle by cutting working sets of 3 reps down to 2 reps, while also adding a couple sets to the last highest percentage set, and changing to a MWF schedule to allow tendon recovery. These changes allowed strength gains while also allowing sore knee tendons to calm down and heal.
Helen! Hope your new year is going well. Where have you been training?
When running a strength block, how should accessory lifts be programmed? Since intensity in big lifts is increasing each week, I worry I won't be able to recover if I increase volume in my accessory lifts as well. Do I keep the same general volume while increasing my intensity at big lifts, or progress accessory lifts as well as if it were a hypertrophy block?
only way to one is to test it out.
i.e.
do 5x5, too taxing, do a 3x8.
you have to listen to your body. is the muscle or the nervous system not recovering.
reps tax the muscle
weight taxes the cns.
help this helps tallyoto
Can you do consideration for Masters concerning powerlifting?Would the same points apply?
Many of the same considerations carryover but for the most part, I don't feel that Masters Powerlifting requires as big of adjustments as Weightlifting does. Really just reduction of volume or less frequent overloading sessions but so much of that is influenced by training history and the training history is so highly variable from one person to the next that it makes it very difficult for us to try to give blanket recommendations. There are many lifters well into the Masters age group that are at the absolute pinnacle of the sport. Marisa Inda, Liz Craven, Jennifer Thompson, David Ricks, Tony Harris and many others come to mind.
I have a little experience with Olympic lifts through CrossFit a couple years ago but my form wasn’t great mainly with making contact with my thighs. Do you guys have a program that would suit someone that has a little experience but needs to get the technique right?

What is the difference between senior and masters lifters? I guess I thought masters was the term for older lifters.
In weightlifting, Seniors are 20-35, Masters are 35+
Ah. The language comes off counter-intuitive with Seniors not being the oldest group. >_>
Nate Youth is up to 17, Junior 18-20, Senior Up to 35. Masters was likely created after the fact and doesn't really fit into the rest of the IWF structure the same way.
That makes sense.
I dont think I can lose speed. I have always been slow.
Jo ann is great but she forgot to mention Nutrition, which is the foundation of recovering from training. If your Nutrition is on point, then you can recover quickly because of less inflammation throughout your body. Max Aita insightful video for Masters Weightlifters.
bill link True. The biggest progres i had was from diet then steroids and workout.
What age would you consider to be a master? I’m 37
Masters for Weightlifting officially begins at 35
Juggernaut Training Systems wow I’m old lol
Yeee first
wheres the masters powerlifting....you guys arent discriminating are you??? hahah
