Thanks for the reply and tip.

I know you did reply to this earlier.
Would you like to explain why you think - or maybe even proof - that using the average speed will result in a different F-v curve than when using maximum speed ?

Standing/Weight bearing Dynamic exercises are a good place to start. They
are functional and applicable to sports. Isometric non-weight bearing
exercises (planks) have little value for athletes. May have some value for
rehab. In additional to being a PT I was also a 19+meter shot putter in
college. I never came across a world class thrower's training log that
include isometric/ non-WB core exercises and throwers need to train their
core as much as anyone.

Good points!

As Mel said back in '01:

"Why not simply accept that the core and periphery always operate
interactively and that drills which involve the whole body in a manner which is
closer to what is required in a given sport are more than adequate to improve
sporting prowess?

It is virtually impossible to train the core without the crucial
involvement of the periphery, all under central nervous control, so why not bury the
inappropriate and inaccurate term, "core stability" and simply refer to
balance and agility training as one component of Motor learning? It would
appear that proliferation of such terminology serves commercialised
professionals far more than science and practice."

I have reached out to this group before, without much luck....Let me try in a different way.

I am a 72 year old personal trainer. I lift I assume pretty heavy for my age. I still strive to increase my lifting weight, and intensity. Six weeks ago I sustained a fractured radius while doing dumb bell Tri extensions......Maybe this was a wake up call..... Maybe it's time to rethink how I work out......

I cannot find any studies, writings etc on the average person, who has average genetics, that's me, who is well trained and in there 70's. I think I might try to work out at 75% of a 1rm for 2 to 3 sets each, 8 to 10 exercises, two or three days a week. Is it possible to build on that type of routine over a period of time at my age.......can anyone suggest some other routines to help me build, but not get hurt, and at worst to maintain my muscularity as I continue hopefully to grow older.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
