    Excellent information and presentation. There is NOTHING like being strong and able. At 68, I wanted a clear, concise muscle building program to keep me in good shape. This is just what I was looking for.
    Something that wasn't mentioned (can't get to everything, right?) is that bone health responds to the pressure put on it by muscles. If your muscles are weak and you don't use them, the body ceases to maintain parts that it doesn't use. So your bones become weaker and osteopenic or osteoporotic. But the good news is that just like you can rebuild muscle, you can also rebuild your bone. But you MUST use it. :-)

    Strength to weight ratio is very important for improved mobility and health span. Be as strong as possible, while as light as possible. This will require minimizing body fat, while maximizing muscle.
    VERY important to avoid injuring your joints.

      Your reply was 2 years ago, so for what it’s worth, I just want to say that you were very lucky to have your mom until her beautiful age of 89 as not very many reach 80. I think the average life expectancy is about 77 for women. That said, weight training exercises help a lot. My father in law was 96 when he died and only one month prior to his death that he couldn’t really fend for himself, but on the side of his bed there were 5lbs weights that he used almost every day. He used a walker in the last few months of his decline but otherwise he was fine. He could feed himself, watch tv, read books, go to the bathroom without help. When he was younger he’d be walking a lot and lifting weights but nothing drastic. He was not a body builder, just trying to save his muscles a little. My lesson learned - start walking and lifting some weights, and increase proteins in my diet, which I have been doing and feeling much better since.

Damaging joints would prevent even lighter exercises. I'm a 69 yo healthy female with strong lower body and weak upper body all my life. Surely others have this issue of muscles vs joints.

    I have been continuously taking hardcore, weightlifting workouts since I was age 16. I once calculated that in one workout I moved 17K lbs. per multiplying reps times sets times poundage. It is an ingrained habit and lifestyle for me. I also spent many years backpacking, mountain climbing, rock and ice climbing and running to train for those activities. I am now 82 years old and in the last four or five years, I have lost about thirty pounds of muscle and a lot of strength. I still work out and get sore muscles, but it takes about two weeks to recuperate. My point here is that exercise, resistance training, hardcore bodybuilding workouts do not stave off sarcopenia. You need normal levels of testosterone and growth hormone to avoid sarcopenia. At age 82, my testosterone level is zilch, and just try to get an MD to prescribe it for you. Some specialty practices will prescribe testosterone but will charge you large dollars.

      I don't, necessarily. But a lot of people want to (and old people typically aren't up for a lot). It is possible to stay in very good shape once you have diet and fasting protocol (fat adaptation) dialed in. Just with that, mitochondria are much healthier. Healthspan and lifespan will be longer. Add an HIIT routine and a weights routine once a week and you can achieve a very high level of health and vitality.
      Many of us lifetime, chronic, exercisers have now realized that high volume exercise has diminishing returns, even negative impacts.
      "Less is more," a focus on quality rather than volume. That would be my philosophy now.

    Great lesson, and one that likely is truth, although only a partial truth. This man, who looks great at 84, has found that hard exhaustive exercise is the way to build muscle mass and keep it into old age, but, he is big around the middle and likely has a fatty liver among other fatty organs, visceral fat, etc. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is an epidemic. It is caused by grains and high fructose corn syrup. Especially wheat. If this man would eliminate grains, sugar, carbohydrates from his diet, especially wheat, he would still be fit, but would likely have a longer life expectancy than he does now. He might be thinner, smaller around the waist, but he would have a healthier heart, healthier brain, healthier arteries. We who eat the standard American diet, even those who eat "clean" (a meaningless term), need to eat more red meat, more pork, more chicken, less grains, less sugar, less vegetables to be the healthiest person possible. Vegetables, yes vegans, are susceptible to terrible autoimmune disease, like ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease, Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis, etc. from plant proteins leaking through the gut wall and their immune system attacking these proteins which in turn attack their own cells. But good luck telling them that, they can't stomach the idea of eating an animal.

In the meantime, I have severe sarcopenia in my arms, I am 57, have a normal bmi, and walk a lot daily, there is actually inches of hanging flesh on my upper arms- what can I do until I can begin PT?

      @@fleastiff3458 Flea I know this is an old comment however I think this will work for anybody at any age, you need to lift often and heavy
      A common way of achieving this is through progressive overload
      Some of the basic exercises people use to maximize muscle gain is squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press and pullups
      I for example am 30 years old and was at one time performing heavy sets of bench press, overhead press, squat, deadlift and multiple reps of pullups
      I started from bodyweight variations and each time I went to excersize which was 3 times a week I would add 5 lbs to each lift starting with 5 sets of 5 reperitions
      in a very short time you can be lifting hundreds of lbs per repetition and even a person who is in their elderly years should be able to perform this same type of program of course modified to fit their recovery
      a young guy in their teens to 40s can recover much faster and perform routines sometimes every day of the week while an older person may only be able to 1 or 2 times a week
