It's possible to gain if you don't have a lot of time- say 30 minutes per day for lifting. But think the squat is the best way. You also don't need to be squatting to failure.

If I'm limited on time I'll do squats/RDL/Walking lunges for a lower, or deadlift/leg press/walking lunges.

It's much more difficult to schedule an upper. I'll often do the shoulder stuff latter...

I see fitness as the ability to do work. If you want to walk up a mountain trail as you age, then keep the cardio going. Doesn't have to be bone jarring running. Ride a bike or elliptical. Keep the...

Have you tried alternative grips on all your lifts-- neutral, supinated. Have you tried dumbbells instead of a straight bar, and use alternative grips. I experience frozen shoulder. I couldn't lift...

That would be like telling my employer that I could only work for two hours per day. Not sure where this comes from. If you eat for it, you can work out for more than 2 hours.

Going to depend on your experience level and keeping your body together and not blowing out a shoulder. It takes a lot of time per workout if you are planning on progressing on 3 x 5 lifts. If I was...

Looks okay if you are rotating this for 6 days in the gym per week?

I'd go with a bent over barbell row in the Pull. A deadlift could be inserted in the legs with walking lunges. Looks a little...

You are experiencing the limitation of being human. In my experience running times for a 5k improve when lowering body weight. It helps to be as fit as possible. Lifting improves when increasing body...

I have all the bars, benches, racks, and weights that any human would need in my garage, Yet, I have a PF membership. Why? It's the other stuff. Cables and machines. Alternative grips and motions....

Dumbbells are tools that allows you to alternate your grip and do unilateral movements. The downside is the limitation on weight. Some people develop issues if all they use is a barbell. If you want...

For me, the mass goes on with deadlifts and bent over barbell rows. With both you can get heavy. Pull ups tie it all together and add the line between your waste and shoulders. Minimalist for me...

If you are a physique athlete, you have to be careful of overworking the bicep. If you do a lot pulling with a supinated grip, such as with chin ups, you can have an overdeveloped bicep. Likewise...

There are a variety of hinging exercises that are not going to be as taxing on the body. Pull throughs and kettle bells swings might be useful if you are injured. I've been there with shoulder...

Big lifts take a lot of ATP. It would be reasonable to expect a squat or deadlift to drain the energy. Not sure how effective it is to work little muscles afterwords. Not sure a Natty can handle much...

Any time someone ask me about squatting in the gym, I walk them over to an 8 inch step, and ask them to sit down on it, and then rise flat footed. If they have no injuries and can't do it, they need...

At 62 I continue to try different approaches and grips. I've just recently started unilateral lifting. I could do that for another 10 years.
