Workout routine for 62 yr old
I am 62. A neighbor and I have been working out regularly 3 times a week traing one or two muscle groups each session, Monday, chest, Wed. back and shoulders, Fri. arms.
We have ranged anywhere from 3-5 sets 8-12 reps.
My neighbor thinks we are over doing it on sets and under on days per week.
We have been taking supplements and there has been some muscle growth mostly chest and some arms.
My questions is this, is this too much of a work out or not enough. Should we be taking more supplements an more sets.
Retired Marine.

hey Cramron this is the exercise section. Man this isnt too much. I actually think it is a pretty good routine. Stay around the high reps to get yourself come good cardio in too.

Hey Grand-Pa...
Good Routine..but,
I think you should do it like that:
Monday: Back and Shoulders...
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Chest
Friday: Rest
Saturday or Sunday ( I would recommend saturday ): Arms...
And do some running or fast-walking as cardio, and it will help your legs...
And also, there is a " Over Age 35 " section on these boards...
SO you can communicate with your mates.....Loved by many, hated by few...

first of all there seems to be an immaturity level here. First Shirt, I think your routine looks fine... the sets are perfect and so r the reps. If you like the routine and do not feel overtrained (tired, lethargic, etc.) then i dont see why you would change anything. If it AINT BROKE...DONT FIX IT

First Shirt
Have a look at this website. www.cbass.com.
Clarence Bass is 50 I think. He's one the most physically fit people in the world at his age. He's got a ton of info on training and diet. Some of it is directed at the "advanced" trainee.
He's also got a ton of diet info which is critically important as you get older.

Sir its impossible to tell what will work for someone else but you experiment with it. Id suggest first trying what your doing for a few weeks, if no imporevements in strenght then change it around a bit. Maybe less sets, then maybe twice a week if that doesnt work. Make subtle changes and se what happens. Id build up strenght first, then change it to more of a size gains oriented routine.
Basics apply;
for size= more sets, higher reps, medium weight
for strenght=less sets, lower reps, heavy weight
1g of protein per each lb of your weight a day
eat 5-6 meals
just want to help thats all
