I'm a 64 year old lifetime competitive athlete. Keep it coming as I find lots of good stuff in your videos.

I used to lift weights 4 times a week. I’m in my late 50s now and I find two weight sessions a week works for me now. I definitely need more recovery days.

You talked about people in their 40s and 50s and showed people in their 70s and 80s working out

am 70 , recovery definitely takes longer, multiple sources of protein enhances recovery for me, egg, cheese sardines , lamb whey , lutein essential

I'm 63 and started resistance training (RT) 2.5 years ago. Reading up on & watching YT videos on RT and recovery and decided right up front that 3 days (M, W, F) was all I should be in the gym doing RT, to provide that recovery time. In line with Thomas's guidance here, I've extended workout length over time by adding more exercises to make each workout a more complete fully body workout. Watching Thomas's videos I've also increased my daily Protein intake to anywhere between 1.2 to 1.4g per pound of bodyweight, now train fasted & prioritise getting 8 hours sleep each night. Recovery, thankfully, hasn't really been an issue. I must say, though, that after doing squats & leg extensions doing my Norwegian 4 x 4 on the stair-master (not in the same session as the RT) does get a bit challenging some days, but I push on to improve/maintain my VO2 max.

We are both over 50. This is great. We've been saying we feel sore or depleted longer.

This is great! I notice I’m worn out for 2 days after lifting heavy. This started at about 50 years old. Instead of fighting the exhaustion I should rest and recover. Great to know so I can continue lifting. This is best video I’ve seen on this topic.
