The myth of accidental muscle:
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people say they don’t want to lift weights bc they want to avoid getting bulky from too much muscle.
Anyone who lifts knows there is no such thing as “accidental” muscle. Muscle is very expensive for the body to produce. It takes intent including lots of hard work and proper nutrition. It never just happens by accident.
Atrophied of fast twitch muscle fibers is the problem with aging.
Your focus at the gym should not be on what you’ll easily maintain anyway even with aging but on things that are declining at a rapid rate like absolute force and power via atrophy of fast twitch fibers.
Set up workouts to support the reversal of this process. Otherwise you could spend decades in the gym but still end up decrepit in old age.
PV☀️ it’s a good day to stack weights
Rates of muscle loss with aging:
Muscle mass: 0.5-1% per year
Muscle strength 1%-3% per year
Muscle power 3%-9% per year
Atrophy of fast twitch muscle fibers account for a majority of the loss.

You can make a light weight feel heavy by using proper form and slowing down movement with increased time under tension. All lifting heavy with improper form will get you is imbalances and injury.
Three important essential amino acids for muscle growth and production of antioxidants: (1) Leucine, (2) Lysine, and (3)Methionine. Most abundant and bioavailable in eggs and animal proteins.
