Train heavy with about 2 reps in reserve as you get older

For older/perimenopausal women, emphasize heavy lifting with about 2 reps in reserve rather than high-rep fatigue work. The key when older is working heavy, not making 20-rep fatigue sets the main strategy.

“So this is where we really turn women on to, we want you to do something that is two reps in reserve... then it allows people to lift more on the day. So we can get women to get into that strength and power-based type training rather than going, let's lift to fatigue.”
