Focus on your upper body to stave off the muscle loss that comes with age
A loss of muscle mass is a major signifier of early ageing, so your second session of the week focuses on creating a stronger upper body. You’ll keep the rep count low and alternate between pressing and pulling moves to dodge the fatigue and soreness that can slow your progress
Burn through your daily anxieties with this powerful press. With your feet firmly on the floor, grip a barbell just wider than your shoulders and lower it to your chest ( A). Pause, then press the bar back up ( B). For your first set, use a weight 75% of your one-rep max, then increase by 5% for each set that follows.
