Thoughts on this? For a trainee over 50 (this of course could be even younger, like 40) is hypertrophy training or "armor building" a waste of time? To qualify this, with no supplemental aides other than extra protein.
Would high volume training be a benefit to ones strength training goals or would it be a possible road to overtraining?
Would you cycle the higher volume days with the strength training days, say like every third session? Or, cycle by program, i.e. 6 weeks of high volume followed by 6 weeks of a lower volume strength cycle? Noted that this would also depend on a trainee's recovery ability, so some may need every 4 or 5 session as an example.
Would you use a mass building diet figuring on adding body fat with the intention of then taking that off or temper the diet and try to only add muscle?
Thanks
