At 70 wow, maintaining or even slightly gaining muscles would be a win! Being healthy n mobile is a win! Great job!

Hey Mike, I'm in NC as well and need to add muscle mass, too. I don't know what percentage, but if I get down on my knees to grab something, I can barely get up. Is there something you are going to try to get your muscle back?

Some would say you’re too lean Mike. I say I don’t think so. And, if you’re around 5’ 10”, your right in the normal range for weight. 12% looks good 💪Live long and prosper 🖖

Thanks for all your comments! Although I can’t do the compound lifts I did at 60, I do push my reps to just short of failure. I know guys in the gym in their early 80s that have maintained considerable mobility and strength. Hope you all achieve your goals!

Andif16 I am pushing myself a bit more everyday but in a way that doesn’t cause an overuse injury or serious strain. I admit that movement early in the day is painful but eases as I stretch and move after waking. Working through some level of pain gets me to the next level. Good luck with your goals.

I'm turning 69 this month and trying to dial it in. Thanks for the inspiration.
