At 40 I barely felt any difference in my physical abilities and recovery to being 30. It then became very clear in the 12 years after that (I'm now just 52) that there was a big difference.
I dropped 1RM tests, some more dynamic/ballistic stuff that was more risky, heavy TGUs, and a few other things. I cut any runs down to shorter ones (less than 60 minutes), and had a bit more of a focus on form, ROM, etc. I also do some hypertrophy which I've never bothered with before.
I train much less with BBs and much more with KBs, and I give myself pretty good deload/recovery weeks every 4-6 weeks.
As have said elsewhere I rotate a few programs now; AXE, BB mass building, Iron cardio, BB strength building, DFW and a Q&D variation, plus some interval and LISS running every week. I also throw in some saunas and Thai massages, and walking in the country when I can.
