Ep 217: Beast mode to build bone, with Dr Belinda Beck

Postmenopausal women can build some serious bone AND stay safe with the right instruction and the right load. What’s the right load? Dr Belinda Beck can answer that, and in today's episode, she takes us through the results of the LIFTMOR trial. With the right instruction and supervision, postmenopausal women can be lifting 85% of their 1 repetition maximum safely, and make a substantial change in their bone density, strength, and quality of life while doing it. ------------------------------ RESOURCES For more on the LIFTMOR trial: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30861219/
