[QUOTE=BigOKgymNut;891343091]I lift 5 days a week, two muscle groups per day, 45 min per group.
Bi's, chest and tri's twice per week. One light day one heavy.
I take alot of protein powder, glutamine, BCAA's, creatine, vitamins and a preworkout NO energy booster.
I have a terrible meal diet. (Working on it. I eat good food only, just not enough.)
I beleive in changing workout routines every few weeks to stimulate growth.
I also beleive in getting enough rest.
Read my sig. 20+ years of lifting has taught me that.[/QUOTE]
I agree

[QUOTE=ironwill2008;857309463]*Training on a [i]balanced[/i] program based on mostly compound lifts, and focused on legs and back.
*Eating to my daily requirements of P/C/F [i]every day without fail.[/i]
*Getting adequate sleep/rest when not training.
Not very flashy or slick; not very gimmicky or any 'secrets' involved, either. Just [i]reasonabe[/i] attention to detail, and consistency over a [i]long[/i] period of time.
I started training at age 45. There's a 'before' pic of me posted on my Bodyspace page.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=trainingforlife;859154113]I'm doing IF on my cut so far 217 > 200 after almost 8 weeks. I like it for sure! Was a lil skeptical at first and was hungry first couple of weeks but my body adjusted and feeling great! Working out after the 16 hr fast feels great and I have a good amount of energy.[/QUOTE]

Things do slow down as you get to 40 from what 20 was like but the training style is pretty much the same for me. As far as dieting I find that eating two large meals a day works for me while having a protein shake for breakfast.

I gather that hitting your macros is most important, though Layne Norton's (journal published) research on *optimal* muscle protein synthesis seems to contrast with any type of fasting program.

Well I was having second thoughts as I am now 36 and I was wondering if I could even make any gains at my age. I did when I was younger, but I'm older and softer now.
You sir just inspired me. I can and will do this.

I am almost 53 years old. I started lifting weights again after many years. I gained about 7 pounds of muscle and 7 pounds of fat during my bulking period the last 6 months. To my surprise I noticed it didn't make a big difference between lifting heavy or light, diet had a much greater impact on my progress and muscle mass.
