Good advice, Lou. So you're saying that scientifically speaking, hypertrophy is possible at our age? I just remember reading somewhere that at some age, 35 I think, a man loses muscle mass every year and at best we can only hope to slow that loss down by resistance exercise. This was the justification for the idea that our metabolism slows with age and that there wasn't a whole lot we could do about it. Is this just another bad idea, like "lifting weights will make you slower"?
