I'm 52 yrs old and this is my story:

I sold my business last March. At that time I was just doing a basic compound once-a-week lifting session. I weighed 152 lbs with a bodyfat of around 9-10% bf.

At that time I decided to finally try to put on some weight. I am currently at 168 lbs, 11% bf and am shooting for 175 at 10% bf, which will still take me a few months....I am in no rush.

My program has been a lifting session every second day, 45 to 75 minutes long. I do no cardio other than housework and mowing the lawn. The program I have had the best success with is Waterbury's Total Body Training, and the reason I think that is the case is because I am doing higher reps and varying the program session to session. The hardest part was just forcing myself to eat enough, and to spread it all out over the course of the day.

I have had 2 people ask me if I am taking steriods - because of my body change. And no I am not, just whey protein, creatine and casien protein (and lots of fish and salads).
