As i 56 year old body builder I totally concur with Dave's article. In my late forty's I decided to forget about maintenance and to go for it. I added 25 popunds of muscle (getting around 198) and now I am entering my first competition. I am only getting stronger --

Thanks for the inspiration, Dave.

Thanks, Dave, for the encouragement. I mostly agree with your points and find that plenty of rest along with moderation and continuing to drink lots of water along with basic supplements such as creatine, glutatmine and whey protein is an approach that works well for me. In addition, I practice regular aerobic warm-ups with a combination of stationary bikes (NOT recumbent, unless I am extremely tired), stair climbers and treadmills both before and after my weights and machines workout- usually about 1 1/2 to 2 hours total time; sometimes longer if my energy level is good. I also prepare by taking natural energy boosters and terrestris tribulus before my workouts.
