Yes, when I was in my 40s, I was also in better shape than when I was in my 20s. I was working out 6 days per week for 2 hours each day and eating a strict diet. I dated a number of women in their 20s who thought that I was in my 30s ... that was a great feeling. 👍 Now I'm in my 60s, married with children, my wife is 10 years younger than me. In addition to your statement (which I totally agree with) self-discipline is the key to success in life.

Turned 60 the other day and I am 20 months into my fitness journey. From my research we have quite a bit to learn about building muscle later in life...Or maybe culture needs to catch up to science and reality. My testosterone ng/dl is usually sub 300, and I have 4 auto immune disorders...A few life threatening if mismanaged.... Spent 8 years in hospital/couch fighting for my life...260lbs on my worst day. When I started I couldn't curl 15 pounds for sets, could only goblin squat 35 pounds for 3 sets, bench was 95 pounds for 3 sets. Leg recovery was 3 painful weeks! Today I am picking away at 50 pounds(6-7 reps) for curls (45lbs for 12) 5 sets. Squat is 315 for 3 sets 8-12 reps, bench is 215 for 7-10 reps 4 sets. 225 for 5 is my best bench. 3-4 days a week. How much muscle have I gained? No idea! I'm 175 pounds now soooo...who knows. I take myself to failure on most sets. It is here that I have found real gains....Much more so that when I was younger...Not sure why? The loss of explosive power is strange lol...Its kind of like watching a steam engine get started on heavy sets. The first couple are oddly slow, then normal rate, then slow down at failure (of course). warm up is pretty slow. Grandpa life I guess! Improvements have felt glacial in rate, but I have never plateaued for long. If something refuses to improve I simply add more sets per week. Counter to most advice I am NOT afraid to go heavy, but if I feel the slightest twinge I stop and reset at a MUCH lower weight. Always clean technique for 8out of 10 reps...Not afraid to cheat the last couple. Currently have a small tear in my shoulder and have some tendonitis in one elbow. Injuries are a fact of life so I work around injuries or change weight for reps/modify techniques, but I refuse to stop training. So far that has worked for me. I have worked through plenty of issues...Especially in my legs. I get PED accusations all of the time...Young kids video me all of the time...Pretty comical actually. My Dr has been talking about TRT for years, but my health issues make me very wary of introducing anything into my sickly body. Despite how I look today I am still very unwell. On my very best day a normal person would feel deathly sick in my body. Yet I work out like a man possessed....Like this is my last day kind of thing. I have only missed a few days since I started. It is never too late brothers! Today is a new day!

I know it's anecdotal, but I definitely don't *feel* like my ability to build muscle has really changed since I was in my 20s. I have a few more consistent aches, but nothing that is a hindrance.

I decided to turn my health around in my early 40s. Gradually built up fitness from being a barfly & smoker. Now late-40s and I train heavy only 1x week with barbell and the other 2x at home with double 24kg kettlebells. Rest days is 1 hr walk. So, doing something 7 days/week. I sleep when I'm tired and wake without an alarm. Meals focus on protein with some whole carbs. Quitting alcohol was a game changer. It works and age is no excuse.

My newbie gains were really surprising and now the progress is much slower . Getting enough protein without over eating is my biggest problem; other than people trying to get me to act my age. Guys at age 50 who use their age as an excuse to not train better find another fugging excuse!

Training to failure, especially at age 70, should be approached with caution and may not be necessary for most individuals. While training to failure can be an effective strategy to stimulate muscle growth and strength gains, it also increases the risk of injury, especially in older adults who may have age-related declines in muscle mass, bone density, and joint integrity. Instead of focusing on training to failure, older adults should prioritize: 1. **Safety:** Choose exercises that are safe and appropriate for your fitness level, and use proper form and technique to reduce the risk of injury. 2. **Progressive overload:** Gradually increase the intensity, duration, or resistance of your workouts over time to continue challenging your muscles and promoting strength gains without pushing to failure. 3. **Consistency:** Consistency is key to seeing results from your workouts. Aim for regular, moderate-intensity exercise sessions that include a mix of cardiovascular, strength, flexibility, and balance exercises. 4. **Recovery:** Allow adequate time for rest and recovery between workouts to prevent overtraining and promote muscle repair and growth. 5. **Variety:** Incorporate a variety of exercises and activities into your routine to target different muscle groups and prevent boredom. 6. **Listen to your body:** Pay attention to how your body responds to exercise and adjust your workouts accordingly. If you experience pain or discomfort, scale back the intensity or volume of your workouts and consult with a healthcare professional if needed. Ultimately, the goal of exercise at any age, including age 70 and beyond, should be to improve overall health, mobility, and quality of life. It's essential to find a balanced approach to exercise that challenges you without putting you at risk of injury. Consulting with a fitness professional or healthcare provider can help you develop a safe and effective exercise program tailored to your individual needs and goals. 😮✅🙏

Very well said; an injury to an elderly body is WAY more detrimental and long-lasting than someone younger, that always needs to be remembered, you don't just bounce back, recovery (if one actually fully ever recovers at that age) is a long road that takes you out of the fitness game even longer. Not worth it.

I'm 52 and took 7 years away from training due to Colon Cancer Recovery. So I have less Colon now and spent 7 years with a bag and a double hernia and had several open large scale abdominal surgeries.and so my ability to utilize protien is Compromised. I have been back in the gym about 3 months and already snapped back to almost where I was previously. I'm building muscle and strength just fine. I seem to get better with age not worse. That's because I started with a strong base and have been weight training since and doing Marshal Arts since about 12 consistently. I agree with others who have said consistency is key. Once you have done something once and especially three or four times from a psychological stand point you know you can do it again. I refer to it as the lesson of the box jump. The first time you do a box jump you stand in front of that box not knowing if your going to fall on your face or not. The first ten times you try you just might but you do it that 11th time and then something changes in your mind and you understand you can actually do it. Then when you increase to a higher box you go through the exact same ritual.

The body understands death. As we age we age out of warrior status. We get older and slower naturally so our need for fighting muscles lessens. In the real world muscles are expensive to maintain so our bodies would catabolize them during lean times while building them for hunting season. Once you get larger than necessary the Brain will fight building extra muscle just like early when you are under muscled you get 'newbie gains'... At 69 I am making gains but I had to change my work out style to do so...

Anabolic resistance refers to a reduced ability of the body to build muscle protein in response to protein intake or resistance exercise. This phenomenon often occurs with aging or in individuals with certain health conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, or chronic diseases. Several factors contribute to anabolic resistance, including: 1. **Insulin resistance:** Insulin plays a crucial role in promoting muscle protein synthesis. In individuals with insulin resistance, such as those with type 2 diabetes or obesity, muscle cells may become less responsive to the anabolic effects of insulin, impairing muscle protein synthesis. 2. **Age-related changes:** Aging is associated with a decline in muscle mass and strength, known as sarcopenia. Older adults may experience decreased muscle protein synthesis rates and reduced sensitivity to protein intake and exercise stimuli, contributing to anabolic resistance. 3. **Chronic inflammation:** Chronic inflammation, often observed in conditions like obesity, metabolic syndrome, and autoimmune diseases, can interfere with muscle protein synthesis and repair processes, leading to anabolic resistance. 4. **Nutrient deficiencies:** Inadequate intake of essential nutrients, particularly protein and amino acids, can impair the body's ability to synthesize new muscle tissue and overcome anabolic resistance. Addressing anabolic resistance typically involves a combination of strategies, including: - Resistance exercise: Engaging in regular resistance training can help stimulate muscle protein synthesis and promote muscle growth, even in individuals with anabolic resistance. - Protein intake: Consuming adequate protein, especially high-quality protein sources rich in essential amino acids, can support muscle protein synthesis and help overcome anabolic resistance. - Nutritional supplementation: In some cases, nutritional supplements such as branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) or leucine may be beneficial for individuals experiencing anabolic resistance. - Managing underlying health conditions: Addressing factors such as insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies through lifestyle modifications, medication, or other interventions can help improve muscle protein synthesis and muscle function. Overall, addressing anabolic resistance requires a comprehensive approach that includes optimizing nutrition, exercise, and overall health to support muscle growth and maintenance. 💪👏👍🏋️♂️

Yes, anabolic resistance is a phenomenon that can occur as we age. Anabolic resistance refers to a reduced ability of the body to build muscle protein in response to protein intake or resistance exercise. This decrease in muscle protein synthesis can contribute to age-related declines in muscle mass and strength, known as sarcopenia. Several factors contribute to anabolic resistance with aging: 1. **Insulin resistance:** Insulin plays a crucial role in promoting muscle protein synthesis. As we age, insulin sensitivity may decline, leading to reduced effectiveness in stimulating muscle protein synthesis in response to protein intake or resistance exercise. 2. **Hormonal changes:** Aging is associated with changes in hormone levels, including decreases in anabolic hormones such as testosterone and growth hormone. These hormonal changes can impair muscle protein synthesis and contribute to anabolic resistance. 3. **Decreased physical activity:** Older adults may be less physically active than younger individuals, leading to decreased muscle protein turnover and reduced responsiveness to anabolic stimuli such as exercise and protein intake. 4. **Nutrient deficiencies:** Older adults may have lower dietary protein intake or reduced absorption of dietary nutrients, which can impair muscle protein synthesis and contribute to anabolic resistance. 5. **Chronic inflammation:** Aging is associated with increased levels of inflammation, which can interfere with muscle protein synthesis and repair processes, leading to anabolic resistance. Addressing anabolic resistance in older adults typically involves a combination of strategies, including: - Engaging in regular resistance exercise to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and promote muscle growth and strength. - Consuming adequate protein, especially high-quality protein sources rich in essential amino acids, to support muscle protein synthesis and overcome anabolic resistance. - Incorporating other lifestyle factors such as adequate sleep, hydration, and stress management to support muscle health and overall well-being. It's important for older adults to prioritize maintaining muscle mass and strength through regular exercise, proper nutrition, and lifestyle habits to help mitigate the effects of anabolic resistance and support healthy aging. Consulting with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian can help develop a personalized plan to address anabolic resistance and promote muscle health in older adults. 😮💪👍👏✅🙏

How many grams of protein do i really need to eat daily to not lose my current lean muscle mass? Keep in mind my sleep is the same, my rest days are the same and my work outs are the same. We all know it is nutrition that will make the difference. Thoughts? Thanks.

The consensus seems to be 1g protein per pound of lean bodyweight. That's actually at the higher end, so slightly less would also be fine for general population not competing in bodybuilding. This is what I've gleaned from more than a few videos on the subject which cite studies on the matter.

Training to failure after age 40 should be approached with caution and may not be necessary for everyone. While training to failure can be an effective strategy to stimulate muscle growth and strength gains, it also increases the risk of injury, especially as we age and our bodies may be more prone to overuse or strain injuries. Here are some considerations when deciding whether to train to failure after age 40: 1. **Individual factors:** Consider your current fitness level, health status, and training experience. If you're relatively new to exercise or have any pre-existing health conditions or injuries, it may be wise to avoid training to failure or to do so under the supervision of a qualified fitness professional. 2. **Recovery ability:** As we age, our bodies may take longer to recover from intense workouts. Training to failure frequently can lead to excessive fatigue and interfere with proper recovery, potentially increasing the risk of overtraining and injury. 3. **Progressive overload:** While training to failure can be one way to achieve progressive overload and stimulate muscle growth, it's not the only method. Gradually increasing the intensity, volume, or resistance of your workouts over time can still lead to strength gains without pushing to failure every session. 4. **Alternative strategies:** Incorporating techniques like drop sets, supersets, or rest-pause training can provide a similar stimulus to training to failure without the same level of fatigue or risk of injury. 5. **Listen to your body:** Pay attention to how your body responds to exercise and adjust your workouts accordingly. If you consistently feel excessively fatigued or notice any signs of overtraining, it may be a sign to dial back the intensity or volume of your workouts. Ultimately, the decision to train to failure after age 40 should be based on your individual goals, preferences, and considerations for safety and injury prevention. It's essential to find a balanced approach to exercise that challenges you without putting you at risk of harm. Consulting with a fitness professional or healthcare provider can help you develop a safe and effective exercise program tailored to your needs and goals. 😮👍✅🙏💪
