Always a good review. As a male age 74, I fall into the hypertrophy category. From Fall to Spring I workout 3 days per week including spinning class. Summer, my workouts are reduced to 1-2 days per week, fewer sets, and much more outdoor biking. To keep workouts fresh, I set up a variety of mixing 3-4 varying DB or Machine exercise to choose from . Enjoy your ongoing series. ~ Thanks ~
Hi Dr Galpin, can you please take some time to explore speed and maybe a few minutes on sprint training in a video? Would be a great watch! Thanks for putting this helpful info out
In my experience the main thing you need to be careful of as you get older is to make sure you are getting enough recovery between sessions. Your progression should also be slower as things like your tendons take longer to adjust in comparison to your strength and if you push too fast you may end up with tendinopathy.
Andy, you did not mention your take on how close to failure would oneself want to train. For hypertrophy I believe that as close to failure without compromising the total volume would usually be the best approach. Of course, every once in a while you might need to go to complete mechanical failure or in contrast have days of leaving a rep or two more in reserve, especially if you are going for immense volume of sets.

Tyvm for all information you share with us, Dr Galpin. I was wondering if the age affects any of the factors, especially over 50 or 60.
