Two Lifts a Day for the Post-Novice Master Scott Acosta, SSC | December 05, 2018 Nearly all of my clients are Masters Athletes; 80% are over the age of 40, with 46% over the age of 50 and my oldest is 67 years old. The Masters population is arguably the most challenging to train. I constantly have to work around a blunted recovery capacity and the typical age-related issues.

Like most things in life, a clear and simple analysis exists.
