So I’m 44 years old and in relatively good shape. For the last two and a half years I’ve been lifting “heavy” to try and build back some of my muscle/build of up to my mid to late thirties. I had an incident with my back in 2018 that set me back, and then Covid really changed my work out dynamic. I’m not as strong as I was at 35 but I’m stronger than I was 5 years ago even though I’ve somewhat plateaued. My muscles feel strong but my joints are hurting when I do heavy bench and heavy squats. Again, not huge weight but certainly more than I was doing post injury. My question is, do you older guys have routines that allow you to keep the muscle mass and lift lighter weights? I’m worried I might injure myself if I continue lifting for bulk, but would like to keep what I have as I feel I can hold onto it for another few years at least. Thanks in advance.
I've finally come to realize that my muscle building genetics are horrendous
