Ok so here is the question I think is not so clear. So lift lighter wights and do more reps and sets. What's lighter or to light? If I do single arm rows with 30 lb dumbbells for 5 sets of 15 it would seem to me that is to light a weight. Idk just think a bit more info to help guys choose a good weight would be helpful. Thanks for your input.

Hey guys. Grateful to be here and to have e this group. Looking forward to what’s next

I had never practice Combination Sets, but today I read an article about it. It's something I also had on my mind to try. It doesn't save time, but give your muscle more time to recover. I still do the old approach. That is 3-4 exercises. 3 sets each. I finish one exercise at a time. With the combination sets you even jump to a different muscle group. It doesn't fit my program but at our age I think variations are good (at any age actually) to avoid stimulating the muscles the same way all the time. One thing is what I think. The science seems to say that combination sets are worth it. What do you say? What are your experience? https://www.menshealth.com/uk/building-muscle/train-smarter/a71183197/combination-sets/

I have read at our age over training can spike cortisol and make midsection fat increase. What is considered over training ? And is this true??

Something I want every guy in here to understand about training over 40: Your rest periods are not just rest. They're part of the workout. I keep it to 30–45 seconds max between sets. Not because some program says so. Because I know that once you let that window stretch to 3, 4, 5 minutes, you lose the synergy. You lose the pump. You lose the muscle connection you just spent 3 sets building. Get in. Work the muscle. Move on. Get out. You're not training to impress anyone. You're training to feel it, grow it, and protect it. That's the approach. That's what we do. What's your rest time between sets right now? Vote below, and drop a comment if you're going to change it this week.
