Target. My strength and power (conversion) training is for my 82 year old client. He is used to linear training and your basic hypertrophy resistance programs. He is a novice at training movement. Eventually, I would focus on agility and quickness–avoiding bicyclists, skateboarders, cars, shopping carts, icy/slippery patches, and other obstacles. I would frame it as relative agility and relative quickness. We’re not going for a slalom here, but I think it is still important.

Note: One thing I've observed with this particular client is that he gets frustrated when he can't pick up a new movement/challenge quickly enough (by the standards he sets for himself). I've learned to hold back on changing things up everytime. I've noticed that he's much more positive and compliant when he feels like he's done a good job--win for the day. I also ask him: what is the one thing you want to get out of today's session (or this week's programming)? So that is why (starting out), I'm not doing supersets of exercises that is brand new. When I do supersets for him, it involves one exercise/movement pattern that he has mastered and feel good about + one new exercise.
