Now, that's impressive.

Although I only have 25 years of weight training experience, I'm gonna chime in.

The great philosopher Schopenhauer said that in the first half of life you're living off the interest of your capital; in the second half of life, you're living off the capital itself.

Keeping that in mind, IMO, by the time you hit 40, you pretty much are what you are, and the improvements that you make are very subtle. To work each muscle twice a week at this point, to me, is overkill. Once every two weeks is fine. In addition, I regularly do isometrics and yoga to maintain muscle condition and flexibility. Lastly, I do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, not for any health benefits (Although it's great for cardio), but because it's a passion of mine.
