In this episode of the Progressive Rehab & Strength Podcast, Dr. Rori Alter and Dr. John Petrizzo break down how strength training allowed a 75-year-old barbell trainee to avoid inpatient rehab after fracturing both her hip and wrist. Her story is a testament to how barbell training preserves function, independence, and quality of life—even after serious injury.   “The stronger you go into these sorts of situations, the better off you're going to be—because you're going to have more lean body mass, more muscle mass, more bone mineral density… So that if you lose some of it, you're not going to be as negatively impacted as someone who has low levels going in.” – Dr. John Petrizzo, PT, CSCS, PRSCC, SSC   Key Topics Discussed The role of strength training in rehab for older adults How physical therapists and orthopedic surgeons can safely use barbell exercises Adapting barbell training during recovery from fractures and surgery The benefits of building “physiological reserve” through strength Strategies to maintain training with one-sided injuries Using machines, bands, and unilateral work as part of barbell-based rehab Key Takeaways Strength training can prevent the need for inpatient rehab You can apply progressive overload without a barbell Barbell lifts can be safely modified in rehab Muscle and bone strength serve as protection, not risk, as we age   0:00 – 1:39 – Episode intro + Pat's story setup 1:40 – 5:00 – Pat skips inpatient rehab after hip + wrist fractures 5:00 – 9:30 – Strength training keeps older adults independent 9:30 – 10:50 – Rehab often unnecessary if strong enough 10:50 – 13:18 – Medical disclaimer + conceptual discussion 13:19 – 17:00 – How to train lower body post-fracture 17:01 – 22:00 – How to train upper body with one arm 22:01 – 25:00 – Applying progressive overload in rehab 25:01 – 30:00 – Healing timelines + early rehab mobility 30:01 – 35:00 – Managing PT visits + training around insurance limits 35:01 – 41:00 – Transitioning from rehab to barbell training 41:01 – 45:00 – Strength as physiological reserve in aging 45:01 – 52:00 – Doctors dismissing lifting + final takeaways   Listen now and share this episode with a clinician, athlete, or loved one who needs to hear it.     Got a question you would like the PRS team to answer on the show?

You could be spending hours in the gym every week, following whatever trendy routine is making the rounds, but if these foundational movements aren't in your arsenal, you're wasting your time and setting yourself up for injury.Today, on my 56th birthday, I'm giving you the gift of the 10 non-negotiable exercises every man over 40 MUST incorporate for true functional strength, mobility, and the physique you want.These aren't just random movements—they're the cornerstone exercises that build a bulletproof body as you age. The ones that fight sarcopenia, help you maintain independence and keep you moving pain-free well into your 70s and beyond.Timestamps:01:00 Why men over 40 need specific exercise selection03:27 #1: Goblet squat - the ultimate lower body movement07:38 #2: Incline dumbbell chest press for upper chest mass12:00 #3: Burpees - the non-negotiable total body exercise18:07 #4: Single-leg deadlift for balance23:13 #5: Kettlebell swing - the testosterone-fueling movement28:25 #6: Parallel bar dips for triceps mass and shoulder stability33:50 #7: Seated incline dumbbell curls for bicep development39:58 #8: Barbell rows for back density and posture44:02 #9: Lunges - all variations for lower body symmetry47:08 #10: Pull-ups - the true test of upper body strength52:25 BONUS: Anti-rotation and rotational core exercises

In this candid and insightful listener Q&A episode, Dr. Rori Alter and Dr. Alyssa Haveson of Progressive Rehab & Strength dive deep into two thought-provoking questions submitted by a competitive powerlifter navigating the post-meet blues and nutrition challenges.  They unpack the psychological and physical impacts of taking extended time off from training after powerlifting competitions, explore ways to manage training stress, and discuss how to realign your training goals during life transitions. Plus, they address the complex question of when to transition to maintenance calories after bulking or cutting. From athlete burnout and life balance to nutrition periodization and sport crossover (hello BJJ!), this episode is full of real talk, actionable advice, and behind-the-scenes coaching strategy.   Key Topics Discussed: When and how to take intentional time off after a powerlifting competition Psychological burnout vs. strategic off-season programming Communicating openly with your coach to optimize your program Training through lifestyle transitions like busy work seasons, family obligations, and other hobbies Adjusting expectations and recovery strategies in your 30s and 40s How to maintain strength without a meet on the horizon Pros and cons of adding high-stress sports (like BJJ) to your training in-season When to transition from a caloric deficit to maintenance Body composition discomfort vs. performance trade-offs Sustainable strength strategies and nutrition for competitive lifters Listener Takeaways: You don't have to earn your time off — you need to plan it intentionally. Your training should adapt to your life, not the other way around. Weight gain doesn't always mean strength gain — and that's okay. Lifters in their 30s and 40s need smarter recovery strategies and realistic expectations. If you're feeling something — mentally or physically — say something to your coach.   Resources Mentioned: Join the Secret Society of Barbell Mastery Facebook Group   Previous episode on weight classes & cutting #24 - Danny Lennon, MSc - Cutting & Confining to a Powerlifting Weight Class | A Decision Hierarchy Season 2, #2 - Choosing Your Powerlifting Weight Class | When to Cut, Bulk, And Compete   Got a question you would like the PRS team to answer on the show?

In this episode, my guest is Pavel Tsatsouline, a world-renowned strength and conditioning coach, former military special forces training instructor, author, and founder of StrongFirst—an online school focused on “low-tech, high-concept” training to build strength for men and women of all fitness levels. We discuss the most effective and efficient ways to build strength, endurance, and flexibility. We cover bodyweight-only, free-weight, and machine-based protocols and describe training splits and lesser-known but highly effective ways to train, especially for people with limited time. We also discuss local versus systemic nervous system and muscle recovery, how to complete training sessions with increased energy, why training to “failure” is not advised, optimal rest-between-sets protocols to improve performance, and how to vary effort levels across each week and month to ensure regular progress. This episode brings you highly practical, science-supported, and real-world-tested training methods to build strength, endurance, and flexibility from one of the world's top experts.
