The 40/50 limit to process has already been debunked by numerous recent studiesthe only caveat is to spread out the meals to allow the body time to process. I’m 60% protein macro/240g protein daily5-11 192lbs 11%bf. At 55 years oldweight training 5/6X a week and only cardio is walking post lift. I am on 2MAD and consume 140g protein post workout every am and 100 for dinner. My labs still remain perfect and if my body couldn’t process this I would be on the toilet more than once a day or obesewhich I’m not. Sleep part is spot on and appreciate your content.

Doesn't matter how old you are, if you work out and eat the right amounts of macros, you will gain muscle and retain muscles. Everyone has excuses as to why they can't build muscle. If they never workout, regardless of age, you will not build muscle, period! And NO. You do not need a trainer. Do it yourself. Have the discipline to get off your butts and go to the gym, even for 1 hour but preferably 2 hours, 6 days a week. I sure you, you will be feeling and looking great after about 10-12 weeks.

I think saying that 99% of people over 40 fail to build muscle, but well. I'm currently 37, almost 38. and what has made my body explode has been kettlebell training. I don't know how I could have gone so many years without touching them! I highly recommend them! You'll see your body transform, literally.

i wish i ate and trained like i do now (42) than what i did at 25. I would be a monster. As it happens; i'm putting muscle on and its going well. i push VERY hard per gym session. Push / Pull / Legs 6 days a week. But y'know. definitely notice that i'm more injury prone and i get exhausted easier.

47yo, 5'9, 200lbs very lean. Training days: 265g protein, 250g carbs, 30-50g fat. Active off days: 265g protein, 100g carbs, 50-70g fat. 5 days training, 2 days off. Lower volume more frequency per muscle group. Cardio 13-15k steps daily. Sleep solid 6-7hrs.

Enough sleep plays the biggest role because if you don't get enough sleep you're tired, if you're tired you aren't training properly, if you aren't training properly you aren't making gains.

I'd add a daily creatine monohydrate supplement, which has helped me with recovery and slight (1-2 reps) strength improvement. Not a lot but still worthwhile. Thanks for the reminders.

I never failed to gain muscles. I only fail in calories intake hence I also gain fat while getting a bit muscle throughout the year
I'm ok with how I look

Sleep, which should be the easiest to accomplish here, is the one that escapes me. Even on the weekend, I'm lucky if I manage 5-6 hours at best.
