How Long Should You Rest Between Sets When Strength Training? | Ages 50+ https://t.co/f4rWh9N6jS

[FitGreyStrong @FitGreyStrong]

If you’re over 50 and hitting the gym, the way you finish your workout sets can make a big difference to how much strength, power, and muscle you build.

This is how to train in 2026.

The effects of velocity loss thresholds during resistance training on lower-limb performance enhancement: A systematic review with meta-analysis

The laboratory established equivalency of high or low-intensity (%1RM) strength training for increased strength & hypertrophy is excellent science. However, for practitioners and the lay public, recognising the real-world limitations of these findings is essential.

The suggestion or presumption that strength training efficacy is tied to failure, or close to, ignores a significant body of work (velocity loss resistance training) demonstrating something to the contrary.

Heavier and lighter load resistance training to momentary failure produce similar increases in strength with differing degrees of discomfort https://t.co/to1b8Vn0Ob

What I found was very different from what’s often claimed. The data doesn’t consistently support what many believe. In fact, a number of studies reported outcomes that were quite unexpected.

“Creatine reliably improves strength and muscle mass in older adults.”

We’ve all heard it. We’ve all seen the media reports, the social media posts, the influencers — even researchers — telling us this is the way.

But is it really?

[FitGreyStrong @FitGreyStrong]

I took a deep dive into the research on multi-joint lower-limb strength and physical function — tests that assess how older adults function in day-to-day life, such as walking speed, stair climbing, and timed mobility tasks.

[FitGreyStrong @FitGreyStrong]

Creatine is not one-size-fits-all in older adults.

This updated 2026 evidence-based review explores where creatine may, or may not, enhance muscle strength, muscle mass, physical function & dynamic balance when combined with resistance training.
