How is Hazbin doing?

Did you go to Harrison Hot Springs near Chilliwack?

No thanks to those cold Canadian winters!

I watched the video. You would get fined in Australia for recording a video while driving!

Anyway, you weren't at all convincing re sarcopenia. Why? Late in the video you admitted it was still possible to build muscle in old age.

That means there won't inevitably be sarcopenia if you stimulate hypertrophy in your muscles.

Along with everyone else I believed that in old age it wasn't possible to retain the size that was achieved in our prime. I now know this is false.

It is possible to grow even larger than before and get stronger, too. Sure, it isn't easy and you have to know what you are doing.

One limitation is accumulated injuries. I haven't been able to do heavy bench presses for over 30 years.

About the legs. I don't do any calf work yet my calves are 18 inches cold this morning.

What is difficult is finding the motivation to make the muscles grow. I mean over a period of time. This is a challenge.

What it is, is the shits. You may think it won't happen to you. But despite your best efforts, all you can do is maybe slow it down some. Not such an easy task when age itself slows you down and depletes your energy.

My solution is to avoid turning lost muscle into fat. So, as I've lost muscle, I've also lost weight - some of it excess fat. This is mentally harder to do than you'd think. For most of my life I attempted to add weight and muscle. Reversing this pattern is definitely going backwards. I've reached a new low. Today I weighed 169 lbs. My goal was to maintain 175 lbs. Time for dinner.

My arms are solid and strong. Please show some respect because I don't take kindly to those who don't, whether in the gym or at a shopping mall.

I beg to differ. Arms and legs don't have much fat on them. I can assure you that staying lean at my age is difficult. Why? Well, meals come with dessert and

I like Pepsi. However, when I train my arms I am getting stronger. You have to agree that fat can't lift weight! I use way more plates than I did decades ago.

I honestly didn't expect to be able to trigger hypertrophy at my age. I will be 77 in September. The workouts are so difficult that I can manage once a week training.

My triceps are larger than when I was competing. There you are. Here is a casual photo so no pump. I admit my waist is too big.  :'(

Sorry Vince, I didn't pull this out of my ass. It's a physiological fact. I really don't think this needs convincing.

There are a few things the scientists got wrong about bodybuilding, exercise and hypertrophy.

Remember when they had an experiment that showed full squats damaged the knees? University staff all believed this

and had athletes do quarter squats and squats to a chair or box. Turns out the sample in that experiment had damaged

knees from playing basketball on tarmac. When it was repeated they didn't find squats to be dangerous. We bodybuilders

knew that all along. So did Olympic weight lifters who seldom got sore knees and they bounced out of deep squat positions.

I don't believe they have it right about sarcopenia. Sure, if you test thousands of old men you will find that they lose size and strength.

Is it inevitable? That depends on what stress or exercise you continue to do. For example, guys who keep up long distant running

or cycling can perform well into old age. Same goes with hypertrophy. If you trigger hypertrophy in a muscle it will respond and

sarcopenia can be avoided or at least delayed for who knows how long.

The third issue is hypertrophy and recovery. Can a muscle be retrained while still growing? Or should you wait until you have recovered and adapted?

Absolutely not. My hunch is sufficient hormones will be provided by the body if hypertrophy is stimulated.

No hormone replacement therapy for me. No supplements, either.
