The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
it was an Australian study that took a group of older women I don't remember exactly how old they were but they certainly looked like they were in their 60s or above uh who all had Osteo at least osteopenia if not osteoporosis and it put them on a a relatively unsophisticated lifting program unsophisticated in that there wasn't a lot of instruction other than just pickup weights it was mostly just pick up weights
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

there was a study that was done in Australia um that I think we talked about on one of our podcasts actually where um an investigator took a group of women with osteopenia or osteoporosis so these women had very low bone density they'd never exercised in their life they were if I'm not mistaken the no one was younger than in their mid-60s they were probably you know in their 70s um and these women were put on a Pumping Iron regimen I mean literally like old school in a gym picking up weights walking around like this wasn't like some fancy you know Posh pilates class this was like pickup weights and I think by the end of this study one of the women may even got to the point where she was deadlifting her body weight you know like imagine that 120 lb woman picking up 120 PBS off the ground
