Lower body muscle disappears as we age.

Fucking nearly 50!
Anyway had a quick look at the study, I definitely don't have the patience to read that. Muscle disappears in old age isn't anything astounding is it? I couldn't see where they mentioned at what age they considered it started disappearing.

Well I'm nearly 60!!
I'll read, but guessing it is referring to over 50s who drive everywhere. Cycling up hills seems to be holding things at bay -- so far!

@pakman yeah I reckon 8 and a half years is still a fair way off 50.
Reckon my knees will stop working well before then anyway....so who needs muscle.

Haha, just pulling your leg. I found the study encouraging, that upper body muscles don't deteriorate as quickly as leg muscles. Cycling hills is a great idea.
I am almost 50, I wish I were 40 again, much fitter, stronger, and better recovery. However, I am on my way to fitness again now. -

@pakman Did you stay fit from 50 to 60? Or did you lose fitness and have to recover? What level are you at now? Do you do more weights to retain muscle? Cheers

I in fact got stronger from 50 to about 55, but also got heavier. In last 5 years have made more of an effort on legs, aided by Hammer Strength Leg Press machine which I really like.
In last three years slimmed down from 91kgs to 87 (mainly flab, but some muscle), and about 10% weaker in upper body -- used to do chin ups with 26.5kg (117.5 total), but now at 22kg (109).
Since lockdown stepped up cycling, including a few hills, with an 'inefficient' bike, and that seems to be keeping deterioration at bay.
My best tip is keep things heavy and don't overdo volume.

I’m 43. I’d hate to lose my gainz. Does anyone know any good steroid dealers?

My legs are in as great a shape as they always have been, but I have been blessed with naturally musclar legs.
I've been doing jack shit since coming out of L4 too!

If my legs deteriorate any further even the chickens will hassle me about them

Yeah that was me until about 4 or 5 years ago. My movement from the 80kg range to the 90s was all about my thighs catching up with my upper body and Piri butt.

@mariner4life oh I've always had calves, just for most of my life they were bigger than my thighs.
