Train2Perform is a podcast about training smarter, recovering better, and performing at your best. Hosted by Julian Sisman, strength coach, PhD candidate, and owner of Prepare for Performance in Rockville, MD. You'll get two kinds of episodes: long-form interviews with coaches and experts, and shorter solo talks where I break down the training topics people most often get wrong. We cover strength training, sports performance, recovery, nutrition, women's health, and training over 40, all grounded in real science and real coaching experience.

    Why Women Must Strength Train as They Age

    Women are often told to be careful with aging bones. Go light. Don't lift heavy. In this episode, I break down why that advice is backward, and what the research says to do instead. After menopause, bone and muscle break down at the same time, driven by the same drop in estrogen, and almost no one connects those dots for you. I cover how fast women lose bone, why muscle loss tracks right alongside it, why women carry more risk than men, and why heavy strength training is the most proven way to fight back. We dig into the landmark LIFTMOR trial, where postmenopausal women with low bone mass lifted heavy, safely, and built bone in the places that tend to break, plus evidence that strength training works into your 90s and a simple way to start if heavy lifting feels intimidating. In this episode: How fast women lose bone after menopauseWhy osteoporosis stays silent until something breaksHow muscle loss tracks alongside bone lossWhat the LIFTMOR trial proved about lifting with low bone massWhy intensity matters, and why it's never too late to startStudies referenced: Bone loss & resistance training (Frontiers in Physiology, 2023): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9941565/Muscle loss meta-analysis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9739568/Women's sarcopenia risk & first-line treatment (Frontiers in Public Health, 2025): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12883749/LIFTMOR Trial (Watson et al., 2018): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28975661/Strength training to age 96: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10721690/Train with us at Prepare for Performance (PFP) in Rockville, MD, serving the DMV.🌐 www.trainwithpfp..com📲 [@trainwithpfp] | [@performancecoachjs] Built to perform.
