Once you're over 40, the same level intensity weight workout which once would've built up your muscles would now only provide your muscles maintenance, wouldn't it? Due to the atrophy of your muscles as you get older, your weight workouts would have to really be super hard to actually build muscle, from the shit I've always read on the subject.
Yes as you become older it requires a harder work out to build muscle. This conflicts with the body’s own aging process which limits the level of workout the body is able to endure. However, if you have worked hard in your youth to build a physically fit and healthy body, but have then let things go a bit on the approach to middle age it is still possible to rebuild that muscle in your 40’s or early 50’s with a sensible level of workout. We are all different and some people can endure a greater level of physical strain on their body than others, but if you have a reasonable level of health and fitness and your body is previously well adjusted to exercise, then you should find it easier to be in tune with your body and therefore more able to listen to the messages it gives you about your personal levels of physical endurance.
IIN for my muscles to still hurt a few days after going to the gym?
