The experts about age and muscle also talk about age-related sarcopenia. - which IS NOT FAKE! Age does matter and atrophy occurs faster as we age. Will resistance training slow age-related sarcopenia. YES YES YES. But, strength will decrease with age because nerve conduction slows down. Just look at the ages of those who hold world records on sprinting and powerlifting and the Olympics. It's not the 50 year olds! Yet, resistance training can do wonders as we age.

My orthopedist tried to tell me I only needed 40 grams of protein a day because that’s what the US RDA is for older women.
Um, I educated him it is more like 0. 8-1. 0 g/kg and this video supports that as well.
You can’t get good nutritional advice from mainstream doctors.
Thank you for all of your work to make these videos. Your messages are mainly directed at men but we older women are watching too, lots to learn from you.

54, 6-2, 223 lbs at 9% body fat. Over 30 years training, no processed foods, ground turkey, chicken breast, grass fed steaks, eggs, egg whites, whey protein, sweet potatoes, various vegetables, organic steel cut oats, plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese. Train four times a week in a fasted state. 16/8 intermittent fasting. And finally, I lift moderate weight for high reps.

Ok, everyone always says you need to eat more protein. But then what Does that mean upping your daily caloric intake to take more in, or cutting the amount of carbs and fats you consume and keeping your calorie amount the same I personally packed in the extra protein for a while based on suggestions like this, and mostly just got fatter despite working out hard.

I am in my 60s and started working out 16 months ago though I have been an active runner and cyclist for decades. Progress is evident though modest. I do believe that muscle growth is slower as you age, something you failed to speak about. Obviously, you are at greater risk of injury as your body inevitably wears out, such as knee cartilage.

Thank, I'm 50 & still a novice. I've read some studies that claimed at my level I shouldn't do more than 15 sets per muscle group but it seemed like when I went over that I was seeing improvement in strength. Now I feel more confident about going over. Not sure why I listened to the former in the first place. Should have listened to my body

I'm almost 56 and have been working out since 19. I have a six pack and I'm in better shape now, more muscle, and am just as strong as I have ever been. I attribute that to gaining knowledge about what works for me after all these years, as well as my diet- it is substantially cleaner now.

I read so many different studies on lifting an anging i'm fifty nine. Some say six sets a week for older people, with more frequency, But still getting more rest because you need more time for recovery. I've been sticking with doug brignole Workout, and it's been the best for me.

Even though I do several sets of each weight, curling 45lb dumbbells is just too difficult. I am over 50. Ergonomic hexagon weights have been much better results than loading round plates onto a bar

Repeat after me: the nutrients in plants and vegetables ARE NOT BIOAVAILABLE TO HUMANS. Stop pushing the plant nutrient nonsense.
To get all your micronutrients, consume beef liver.

1 set to failure, slow lifts h. i. t is all you need to stimulate muscle growth. You'll also decrease the likely hood of injuries because youre not swinging the weights.

What ties all this together The other 23 hours in the day when you are not in the gym matter more as you get older. Nutrition, stress management, sleep, etc.

As the AVERAGE person gets older, their risk of kidney and liver diseases increase. So they need to be more careful about protein intake.
