How much weight lifting is required to build bone?

Thanks so much for your feedback. I just watched Dr Fishman's video. Unfortunately, because of all the hardware in my hips, I'm unable to do the floor exercises, but the standing poses were great! I'm going to add a standing yoga routine to my daily exercise plan. That was a good tip....I would not have thought of it. Also, I am wondering if you had any increase in bone density during your time at OsteoStrong, or just muscle strength?

You are already one step ahead of me with the yoga! Excellent! I’m still reading the book but will get to the exercises tomorrow.

The max load I hit with Osteostrong was 3.5x my body weight. According to some experts, one needs to have a load of 4.2x body weight to grow bone. After consistent weekly sessions for a year, I opted to drop out and try something else…it’s quite expensive and I wasn’t accomplishing what I needed. So I’m looking for alternatives.

It’s great that we have this forum to share information and to encourage one another.
