Bodybuilding after 50 years old - Game Over?
I used to work out in high school, college, then a few years in my marital life. Then, in my mid forties, I just quit, and got fat. Each successive year, I determined to get in shape, and I would start for a few weeks, but work, children, and other responsibilities always stopped me short. Now, I have loads of free time, enthusiasm, and money for the high protein, low carb diet, including supplements, but when I workout, I do a warm-up set, two or three heavy sets, then two mid volume sets, then a final set to failure. I get a great pump! Then, I have a post work out shake, and watch my food carefully. BUT! After the pump subsides, I feel almost the same, and after a few weeks, even with strict intensity and form and everything by the book, I don't seem to gain much (if at all) tissue. Am I just too old? Is it GAME OVER??? What could I reasonably expect in a year, broken into a) bulking, b) strength, c) cutting seasons? Please answer from experience...
