I feel like it depends on your goals. I'm definitely weaker (a couple less reps and a little less weight when I'm training fasted) ... vs normal ... And then creatine probably gets me another rep or two.

Maybe creatine offsets food?

I don't see them as either or, just tools for different things

Yeah I totally agree with this. I think both ways are good. But he was saying “I’ve done this for x amount of time so I know the right way to do it”. Then I again I have more muscle mass than some of our friends who train with him. Everything has tradeoffs 🤷🏾

I can see his point, if you're after max building then protein + creatine + other stuff makes sense...

I'm not optimizing for that tho...

His argument is that we should be building the most muscle mass we can because after 50, it starts to decline. Then again I have more muscle now than I did in my 20s or 30s

He is right about the 50 thing.

Definitely. I do agree that we should be as active as we possibly can. To keep up when we’re older
