Strength Training in Your 30s and Beyond
This is a strength book for men and women 30+ years of age written by a man (38) and woman (31) who are 30+ years of age.
"Strength Training in Your 30s and Beyond" offers you an explanation of programming concepts related to adjusting your approach to training if you are 30+ years of age. At the same time, the book explains concepts that apply regardless of age, including specificity, periodization, and progressive overload, among others.
Over the course of 300 pages, you receive 12 programs with 144 weeks of training programs, during which no two programs are the same. Included are training plans
Bodybuilding
General strength
Olympic lifting
Powerlifting
Each category has a beginner, intermediate, and advanced program, meaning you can use these programs no matter your current fitness level. You will need some basic idea of form, or a willingness to learn the same, as this book focuses on the programming aspect, not on technique. The programs build upon each other over time.
Also included with the book are comprehensive sections on recovery, nutrition, and warm-ups as well as seven example meal plans. You'll learn best practices for rest and recovery, determining calories and macros, and other topics, such as supplement use.
Nathan wrote this book with input from Grace. As a bonus for the ladies, Grace wrote a section dedicated to issues she and other women face that offer unique difficulties, including the fear of getting "bulky," lifting during that time of the month, and how to approach strength training as a woman. Don't let that scare you guys.
Simply put, "Strength Training in Your 30s and Beyond" provides you a plan of action you can put into effect today to reach your strength goals in your 30s and beyond.

Nathans best lifts are a 535-pound deadlift, 505-pound squat, 340-pound bench, and a 245-pound push-press. His best run times are a 6:00 mile and a 33-minute 5-mile run.
Nathan is an average guy who just happens to be a personal trainer. He brings to the table 16 years of experience, the know-how to apply it, and holds multiple certifications while also pursuing a degree in exercise science. Additionally, he worked with competitive powerlifters, runners, and martial artists to learn more about these areas.
He can be a stern instructor but is always fair, listens to his client's needs, and communicates effectively. In this manner, he makes sure the clients always have what they need mentally, physically, and emotionally to succeed. Though to the point and focused, Nathan likes to use humor in his sessions, because it makes sessions funner for him and the client.
While talking the talk, Nathan also walks the walk. He exercises 5-6 days per week, spending an average of 75 minutes per day working out. Additionally, he competed in Champion Nutrition's 20 and Hot Contest, New Home Fitness's Bench Press Contest, Richie's Fitness Bench Press Contest, and the CrossFit Open.
