One of my current techniques I've been able to use, which works well with your med weight, higher volume training is a rest pause set. I'd like to know if you've tried it and if you could even do a video for it. It is very effecient and gets your workouts done quickly but I wouldn't recommend this all the time. Either use it to target a specific exercise or session. It is a great way to break plateaus and get an insane pump when used sparingly as you definitely need more recovery time in between sessions. The mind muscle connection is greatly enhanced!

You missed 2x per week haha. I do twice per week, full body. Compound moves and isolation, started using trap bar over any squat or deadlift, much less prone to injury. 45 min workouts. Off days sprint 2xwk for 10 minutes on Max trainer, daily walk 8k steps. But not consistently that is my goal short term to never miss. If consistently starts to impact recovery I'll back off on something, likely steps or sprints.

Your vascularity is off the charts following that workout. My only issue with using TRT at this age is once you start you basically shut off the bodies ability to make it as well. If you stop taking it after consistent use over time, you lose your gains, vascularity, potentially libido etc. as your male body just won't be able to produce it anymore. Ie. My wife takes HRT after a complete hysterectomy and basically will take it to death and even avoid menopause, but she had to start in her 40's after her operati, especially for quality of life. At 60+ do you find it necessary to take TRT to avoid injury and thusly workout via low intensity high volume and still maintain your muscle? I'm considering it myself but I prefer raising trt through food and higher intensity exercise with weights and sprinting. So basically my main question is TRT necessary to maintain muscle through low weight high volume training and consequently avoid injury? Thx

@Keith Hanenian Esq Great reply. I have blood work scheduled in 2 months, I'll make sure they take TRT values then work from there. I'm in Canada, we can get trt easily, in fact they encourage it after a certain age but I like your approach of not taking it blindly but with purpose. Appreciate your time!

Recently retired and moved to small town to be closer to grandkids. Injured my knees and shoulders during move 6 months ago. Shoulders still need work but after getting my basement gym set up again 3 weeks ago was able to finally strengthen knees enough to wake without pain. Shoulders still nagging but trying to take it slow. Carnivore for 3 years, lost 50lbs with 25 to go. Ex amateur bodybuilder (never did a contest though, but used Mentzer's heavy duty training philosophy) I also helped train 20+ people back in the day 40 years ago. After a long layoff for decades, retirement has me out of the grind of sitting 8 hrs per day, and now being more active. Heavy Duty HIT might be a goal later but really need to dial in the type of volume I can handle and how much recovery time is now required. Muscle memory is a glorious thing, responding very quickly but still want to avoid any injury but still get at it! Appreciate your attitude, really motivating!!
