If you haven't trained specifically for muscle stimulation in your early years then reach 60+ don't expect to build muscle, or much of it? Yes there are exceptions to any rules. It has been reported that the muscle would have no ''muscle memory'' or the muscle would be so atrophied that stimulating new fibres just wouldn't be possible. As the saying goes, use it or lose it, aptly applies here. ...... After a 2 year absence from lifting weights due to an injury and a further 8 months of rehabilitation I am now back to stimulating my muscle. The biggest shock was, how quickly muscle atrophied. Unlike before the injury I now use a combination of Isometrics and very slow 1rep movement, something I did when in rehab. What has blown my mind is the muscular response. Suffice to say I will not be returning to dynamic weight lifting. i.e. 3 sets of 12 as an example. The difference between rehab and now is INTENSITY, using the aforementioned method. Another side benefit is the time factor, no longer hours but MINUTES and no need to visit the gym, another mind bending shocker. The above method allows me to train daily, whilst exercising the same muscles, which shockingly is getting me progress. I guess the micro bursts of intensity isn't over loading my recovery capacity, thus I am able to train and gain. .... Walking, using a weighted vest and walking poles, is a great workout. Sleep is so underrated. Good luck in your quest for health. Thank you for uploading and sharing.
There was some study where subjects had a cast and were able to preserve most of the muscle mass by exercising the other limb but only with concentric + eccentric exercise.
@@insideexercise I remembered wrong. Eccentric-only was more effective than both. Omar Valdez 2020 "Contralateral effects of eccentric resistance training on immobilized arm"
@@insideexercise there's a nice article on Science Alert web site. It was a simulated immobilized arm, and subjects could use the arm for driving and showering which might have influenced results.
Greysteel p0dcsst and text Barbell Prescription are practical applications of your thesis. Linear Progression strength training regardless of age. One gram protein per pound of lean bodyweight, Dr. Layman. 🙏🏻👹🏊♀️🏋🏻
Are antiinflammatory drugs worth it if it helps you exercise more??? I tend to avoid them because they might be harmful but I'm always tempted because I hate the pain of inflammation. I only have one kidney so I worry about drugs like Ibuprofen but my Dr said they are safe if not over used.
As a hobbyist? I don't see how the downsides would be bigger than benefits... just keep extra easy days, or don't go so hard on reps but instead increase weights.
Sue Bodine is a pioneer in molecular regulation of hypertrophy and atrophy. I remember reading her papers in my MS .
Highly underrated video 👏👏
I like Dr. Bodine's research work. Thanks Glenn for bringing this podcast ❤
This was one of the most interesting vids and probably because I'm old. It seemed to go fast.

Really. Wow. That’s surprising. I wonder if you’d mind trying to track down the reference? Actually, I’ll ask Sue about it.

So depressing.
