I think I値l be the same strength. Isn稚 it better to pig out n put on fat and muscle without training?
After a point, naturally, you find you aren't going to get much stronger or bigger from weight training. It just stops. At that point to maintain muscle and bone health you go into a maintenance mode. It's no different than being a runner who eventually plateaus in speed. You keep running because you find fun in it.
Most guys could lift just once a week to maintain all their gains. If you like the pump, however, you lift multiple times a week for just the rush it gives you. In a way, isn't that enough positive reinforcement to keep doing something that does make you physically fit? If you stop completely you begin atrophying and look like people who have decided to let their bodies go to hell. Aging accelerates then and when you are in your 50's you look like you are ready to die.
If you make weight training a healthy habit and don't worry about "gains" anymore, you will reap the benefits of this lifestyle.
