Can you actually keep getting stronger in your 50s and 60s?! I sat down with powerlifting GOAT Jen Thompson (52) and her husband Donovan (60) to figure out how they’ve stayed so strong for over 30 years. Jen explains why she NEVER trains for two hours, the scary reality of aging and "muscle memory," and why taking a long break from the gym could permanently kill your gains. We also geek out over their crazy 10-year training spreadsheet, why a training crew becomes more important as you get older, and how to armor-plate your joints before they actually start hurting.
