body building after 52

[Felix Gates]

what's up guys, it's never too late for body building and I would like to pump some muscles . I'm 52 and would like to know if there is a special training routine for seniors or just do the regular training as young people but lifting lighter, thank you.

 

[SteveMobsterG]

I'm 53. Just the regular stuff. Just allow for recovery and don't expect young style progress.

 

[RoySimpson]

Yeah there is no different exercise for older people. Everybody can get in on the action at any age. I would recommend lifting lighter to start off and build up to lifting heavier. You can even start off on some of the machines to build some confidence.

52 isn't a senior at all bro. you still have many years of weight training left

are you totally new to this or did you do it in the past?
