Why it's so hard to build muscle as we are aging?

The immune system as we get older, produce less satellite cells so they can't repair as much tissu as before.

That's probably why we call it ''aging''

Being fat too. That creates inflamation which stresses the immune system. I'm nearly 48 now and have quit bulking. I find putting on just a bit of excess fat stresses my immune system and I just feel crap and make no gains

As we age, testosteron levels are slowly declining and our bodies ability for systhesizing protein goes down as well.
That's our way of life and we can't change that, we can only makes it less ''worse'' by sleeping enough, stress management, working out regulary, eating well and taking care of our mind/body in general.

Would love to hear what hes gonna say next about designing a program for older folks

Hmm so lots of oysters/zinc and high vitamin c fruits as well as dry fasting sometimes would greatly improve immune system and increase/ renew stem cells.

I don't know but .. I'm 53 and I just cleaned my first 315 bench 1 RM x twice... but no Im not gaining as much as I want.. Pump doesn't stay as long either.. but I'm glad to say that strength is still there.. and no NO GEAR for me.. I don't touch that stuff. First too expensive and second scares the crap outta me... Just feel great to push heavy..but should lean down now.. cause 240lbs is heavy at 53 ...but its not easy...

Useful discussion for me, thank you. 79 (not my age lol)

So, if it is largely an issue of declined Human Growth Hormone levels, supplementing with Arginine and Coconut Oil during the day and GABA at night should at least potentially spike it back to "normalish" levels, no?

what about neurotype training ? no, new videos .. no new information ?

I do not like putting in effort into the gym, and receiving no benefit. I wish that I could build more muscle; but I can't. No amount of effort will pay off.
