Kyle, or anyone, what would you suggest for a 60 year old highlands athlete (aka Scottish Games). Would it better to focus on the quick lifts/o-lifts to maintain what fast twitch fibers remain? Or lean towards bodybuilding to strengthen and protect joints and ligaments.
Of course most of the year, eight months or so, is dedicated to throwing.
As Dan might say, if depends. I started in the Highland Games at age 57 and last competed at 69. Without more information it could be anywhere from "go for a walk, do some snatches" to bodybuilding to all the above.
How long have you been in the games? What other training are you doing now or have you done in the past? What equipment do you have available? How much time and recovery do you have available for for training?
