Advice

60 years old is not too late to start powerlifting. Starting powerlifting at 60 years old may not lead you to become the open powerlifting world champion, but it may be a healthy activity for you to participate in. Lifting relatively heavy weights may help slow down the development of osteoporosis and can help you increase muscular strength, which may decrease your risk of injury. It is important to seek out guidance from a powerlifting coach to teach you proper technique and give you a competent program to avoid injury.
