Thank you for addressing how training and recovery are effected by age. I’ve followed your training philosophy and training wisdom over the years even as a non-competitor. At 74 I have maintained most of my muscle by training smarter with more time under tension with less weight, as you suggested. I’m blessed to still be lifting with challenging weights and no major injuries. Training and good nutrition to support that training are the fountain of youth. Thank you for all the knowledge you bring to the sport of body building and to those of us who just want to stay strong, fit and healthy as we add years. Www.fitandhealthyaging.com.
