Lead Writer

Nora Castellano

Nora writes the strength training side of Age and Iron: the programs, the lifts, the gear. She started lifting at 42 in a garage gym with a 35-pound barbell and rusty plates from Craigslist; she has stronger opinions about Bulgarian split squats than most people have about their politics. Her position: there is no upper age limit on getting strong, only an upper limit on how much patronizing advice you should tolerate.
