74 yo female - 17. But I have to say I am not normal. At age 35 I realized I was starting to feel “squishy” and started to workout 2x a week with a trainer just to maintain muscle tone. Have been doing same ever since (with one 6 month break for back surgery) and would not trade it for anything. I’ve given up lots of new wardrobes and maybe a car or two to pay for this as I need my trainers for accountability but it been the most positive thing I do for my general wellbeing. So important to stay strong as we age.

Pretty good, I'm about 60 when up about that level probably need a different test. I work out 3 times a week. So strength not a problem. Imagine the sit down cross legged and stand up using no hands is a more appropriate challenge also shows weakness in hip mobility/flex . Ie you can have powerful quads, posterior chain etc, but struggle to shift weight over feet. So I'm going to build in more movement and flexibility into my daily routines to go with my strength

Thank you so much for this. I’m in my late 60s. I malabsorb protein and find it very difficult to build muscle. I’ve had 2 personal trainers, neither of whom seemed to understand this, and pushed me so hard, saying it was absolutely fine to be in agony, that I ended up needing expensive remedial treatment from a physiotherapist. I can only blame myself for that really because I should have been firmer and said that it wasn’t possible for me to do that without injury, but it’s difficult to argue with trained people who you have put your trust in. It has put me off trying to find ‘professional’ help. So this channel is an absolute godsend for me, really practical common sense advice. Thank you, again.

I'm 62 years old, and recently I started doing dumbbell squats. I do 3 sets of 10 reps. I began with 3 kilos in each hand and have now progressed to 12 kilos in each hand. I think this exercise is better than holding a single dumbbell with both hands, because it distributes the weight more evenly, so it will allow for greater weight progression over time. I also think it's a better exercise than squatting with a barbell on your shoulders, because it's gentler on your back and spine. Additionally, holding a pair of dumbbells in each hand is easier to balance due to the lower center of gravity.

Just to be clear, sarcopenia is not a disease. It is a universal aspect of the aging human body, so there's really no such thing as being "at risk". EVERYONE over age 40 or so is dealing with sarcopenia to some extent, period. And the only way to reduce its debilitating effects is to engage in a regular resistance or strength training program, eat well, and rest plenty when not working out. Do this on a regular basis and stick with it and you should be fine.

67 yr old female 21 two consequtive times. I started doing calisthenics last year. Attribute much of it to that. I started having issues getting out of a squatting position doing household things. Calisthenics/bodyweight exercises have helped alot, esp if one pays attn to ptoper form.

Just did the test. I did get the minimum for my age, but want to do better. Thanks.

I'm 67 and managed 34 without a chair as it was slowing me down too much. Still do 50km bike rides and wrestle crocodiles (plastic inflatable ones). Spent my life cycling to work, bush and other walking, mountain biking, doing weights and regularly wrestle several naked nuns in a vat of baked beans. After all this I only look 75. 🤪

How about for people in their 50's? Can you extend the chart to that?

Hello, I'm here with a word of caution. I am 68 and passed your test with 17 reps in 30 seconds. It took me two 30 second attempts to get this number. However, I have been pretty severely crippled with back pain for the 2 days since doing the test. I was doing something to my back each time I went up and down and my back didn't like it at all. Be careful when doing this test. When I was young, I had lots of back pain (probably from American football) but have been relatively pain free in the decades since. Until now. I am bent over and in pain for the first time in ages. Bee careful.
