Building Muscle Over Age 40 - Complete How-to Guide

[@camvworld5674]

I’m 47. 11.7% bf, 6 pack abs. To summarize: I don’t count macros, 8hr window (10am-6pm): 3 meals + 2 snacks (all include protein). Whole, non process food. Workout 8-9am: Weight room 4-5 times a week, 40 min each session, 2 days of cardio, HIIT (timed 100m, 200m, 400m, 100 burpees, burpees with a weighted vest) 2-3 days of full body stretching + 10k - 13k steps every day. I been getting stronger and more fit with age. I’m very surprised myself. 1 main advice: With each workout, each day, I make sure I progress in just 1 thing! 1 set, 1 rep, 1 sec, 1 lb, .5lb, .0001lb , no progression is too small. Basically, improve on your performance in some way with each workout and your body composition will follow. Ppl think of body composition changes before performance improvement. Over years, it adds up! Stay strong!

[@camvworld5674]

@@ryanranard5187 Do it for yourself and no one else. Don’t compare yourself to anyone. Don’t overdo it, where you hate it. Day by day, a step at a time and it would eventually become a lifestyle. It’s so ingrained in me that even when I’m hungover, I would still get a work out in. If I’m super messed up or hung over from the night before, I’ll get my 10k steps in and just stretch.

[@zakarneh]

I completely agree with this approach, I have been fasting for the past few years and tried different combinations of workout timing and food intake and found that what has been said in this video to be the best. The only issues i had that i did need to elevate the quality of my food and that can get expensive. The other issue that elevating vitamin D intake without combining Vitamin K2 can cause some issues. Finally, I wasn’t able to stay active without fixing what I believe to be minerals imbalance by eating a lot of greens for potassium and taking quality magnesium supplement.

[@nanfoodles]

I want to thank you, your videos have help me tremendously. Being over 40 and watching the fat burn off like im 20 with Keto and Intermittent fasting. My weight loss stalled and I had no idea why. Your videos taught me what to do next. Working out at the right timing and watching my strength gains jump up and up has been awesome. Im almost 40lb down and not sure how much muscle I have put on because it gets hard to track while losing weight. Again, thanks so much. Keep up the good work!

However, I hope you will consider doing a chalkboard follow up for us that need the visual and a summary. Great work and appreciated.

[@rickdalbey6009]

I took up weightlifting at age 65. One of the best decisions I have ever made. I will be 71 in 3 months. I can now deadlift 320, squat 360 and bench press 255. As you age your body naturally stops producing as much testosterone. My doctor recommended a testosterone cream which I apply topically. It is very common among older men and helps your libido as well. Many women take estrogen supplements for most of their lives. Eat more protein, take creatine and whey protein powder. Weight lifting makes denser, stronger bones, it protects your ligaments, tendon and joints. I work out 5 days a week for 2 hours a day. The key is to train a different muscle group each day...legs one day, back and shoulders another day, chest and arms another day...so you don't over stress and give your muscles a chance to grow. Another key is progressive overload. Keep increasing the weight. Go heavy. It really has become my passion...I have made a lot of friends and everyone is helpful at the gym. Some loss of height is inevitable but you can slow it down with muscle growth and posture correction. Bigger, wider shoulders and standing tall, not slumped, will make a big difference in your perceived height.

[@rickdalbey6009]

@Taiwo Omotosho There are many alternatives to whey. You can find Soy protein powder, pea protein powder at a good sports nutrition store. Actually I stopped taking whey because I have a mild milk allergy. I simply eat a lot of protein (eggs, chicken, beef, fish, nuts). I eat 4 eggs for breakfast.

Gene Amigh do less cardio and more lifting! Thank me later.

[@henryr1367]

@@geneamigh6048 for our age, we need to lift heavy. Also do HIIT and fast.... at our age, it's difficult to get a six pack... some belly fat is ok in my book... as long as it's not beer belly 😁

[@ianbertus9689]

I am 66 . I have experienced the truth of your advice. Doing exercises empty stomach in afternoons saw my 6 pack and muscled arms. But I gave up. Will start again. Thank you

[@supgizmo5021]

Great video although I generally believe the advice for building muscle in your 40's is no different than when you were younger, assuming you have no major health issues. 40 something is still young for strength gains. Building muscle only starts to become genuinely more difficult past 50. If you have built a solid foundation in your 20's and 30's than you probably easily maintain most of that muscle way into your 60's without external hormonal assistance.

Wow! Game changer, I am 51 years young I love going to the gym and Salsa dancing. But Covid has put a stop to my dancing. I used to eat a have my smoothies before my workout. Thanks for all the information and the research you put into it. I will apply this .I want to build muscle as I am a bit on the slim side. ❣🏋️‍♀️

[@endofd-d7c]

Would u like to salsa dance with me ?

[@bryanfinnerty947]

at 10:50 you nailed it, I discovered this, i'm 51, I recently watched Eddie Hall set a world record for the dumbell incline, at the end of the video he said that it took him three and a half hours in the gym to get there! so I tried it and when I get tired I sit until the energy comes back so I do a lot more and with great results and no injuries (that's key it has to be sustainable) so good one Thomas.

[@ilktomiproperties]

Woaw I am Realy impressed I am watching muscle growth and keto IF videos since years but this is best and most essential of all, my age is 60 I had some good results in the last 3 years but with this knowledge it could have been twice as good, thx a lot you are great I subscribed ✌️

[@Viking12390]

Thank you Thomas! This is such great info. I’m in my 50’s and been struggling to find the most effective way of building muscle , burning fat and having more energy. Your explanation of the training incorporated with the timing of the fast and how many and what types of macros I need is so insightful.

[@DocHicksTv]

So you suppose to fit in all your protein after your evening working between then and 9 pm? Thats alot of food in a short period pf time. Unless im hearing you wrong.

[@joethebar1]

I’m 50 and I returned to the gym six months ago after a ten year absence. Making better gains and moving more weight than back in the day. It feels great. Metabolism is through the roof. I’m a true mesomorph so it’s relatively easy to build muscle. I eat about 225 grams protein/day at 173 lbs

[@naveenkumar4032]

Macro Proteins or protein supplements or both? Can you plz explain what foods u eat for that much of protein per day Thanks!!

[@NightSky777]

Appreciated the Thorough info, explanation, AND Practical Recommendations

[@jessewit3090]

At first I was thinking this is gonna be long video but I'm glad I watched was very informative. Thanks 👍

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Happy you watched it. You’re very welcome!

[@jeremyham764]

Very high quality content in all of Thomas' videos

[@YY6951]

What about leucine and DHEA?

[@Johnbobon]

I tried supplementing 50mg DHEA per day. After 5 days my was face greasy and breaking out with acne. Even if it gave me some benefit (unsure), it wasn't worth the tradeoff.

[@derdely]

Thank you for this video @Thomas -- this is amazing info and really helpful for us older guys that want to try and maintain/gain muscle mass. Your explanation of the science is excellent and then explaining how to apply it is awesome.

[@mikejames509]

45 y.o. with type 1 diabetes with insulin resistance (type 2). I want to put on muscle, but nothing works. From the blood glucose/insulin situation, it's not advised that I fast. My blood glucose is not an issue, I can care for myself. The problem is having the energy to work out. Intermittent fasting is very difficult despite times when I have zero appetite. Cardio is effective for weight loss, which follows consistency in the cardio area. I do my best, issues always emerge. Thanks for your channel, helps me out a lot. I have to watch to keep the info. in working memory. Thank you man. - M.

[@francoisderancourt8704]

Thank you so much for this valuable content you just gave me the push to go back to the gym and achieved my fitness goal you are amazing

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Thank you! I appreciate all of you. I’m happy this helped you.

[@harmony1211]

Thanks for the information! Do you have any workouts for people who are still at home or gym that are still closed?

[@DrVictorGeorge]

Good video, it s never to late to start. More muscle mass at older age will protect against many diseases 💪

[@frankenz66]

What about bone density? My bones are abnormally dense. Docs tell me they don't know why I do, especially since I had them even after years of take so many steriods for inflammation. I always had normal parathyroid tests. I am talking scores like my wrist and hip scores T4-5, and parts of my spine scored T9-10.

[@DrVictorGeorge]

@@frankenz66 Weight training has great beneffits for bone density. Do You have any symptoms? Go to an endocrinologist.

[@frankenz66]

@@DrVictorGeorge Yeah, I have several issues that need an endocrinologist eval. Left Adrenal lesions, tender and growing throat area, abnormal bone density, a calcified cyst in my left kidney that is about the size of tablespoon serving pad of butter. A lot of thyroid disorders in the blood family. Thanks.

[@justgojustdoit3363]

YOU do NOT need to apologize at all for taking the time to share this info. I am 59 years old and damn I think I almost want to cry because I have watched many videos bruh, and I sat here riveted to hearing why I was struggling, and I have NEVER heard anyone explain it with such CARE AND CONCERN as you. I will not watch another video on this subject. I will watch this one again and again and try an implement what said. The ONLY REAL SAD PART FOR ME (chuckle) is I AM ADDICTED to working out here at my gym in THAILAND AT 2,3, 4 in the morning. I really can't and don't want to do the afternoon thing. When I am in the gym I have the entire gym to myself and there is something very peaceful and I tend to focus better. PLEASE. PLEASE tell me I can still do this although I work out 2 3 4 IN THE MORNING. But thank you a million times for this video and forgive this LONG ASS POST!

[@joeshmoe8952]

I’m 39, still wake up with morning wood and recently this year started keto. Dropped 20 pounds but once I started lifting again the muscle memory kicked in and started building muscle. My weight hasn’t dropped like how I wanted to but I believe I’m gaining muscle which is why the scale is not moving. Always had trouble trying to lose fat and build muscle but not with keto.
