Training to retain muscle as you age

Interesting study, done over 30 weeks. I'm finishing up with Eat Lift Thrive so I think I will do it again, but with 2 heavy and 1 light day like in the study.

Joni, they didn't mention it. I do think it's very relevant.

Would also like to know if the volunteers were non-exercisers when they started, or people who exercised regularly. I could not find that info from the links I followed.

I quickly read through. My take was that it might be muscle confusion that created the gains. Too bad they didn't separate into groups by hormone levels. If your hormones are closer to youthful levels you will have better results.
