Is there anybody here who only workout to maintain the muscle with only 1 workout per week? How is your result? Is once per week enough to just maintain your muscle mass? I'm asking because as i become older now my recovery is not as good and my workout is taxing to my body.

Your recovery shouldn't be falling off a cliff, get a checkup
>>77478305I hate these dumb ass quotes, They all read like reddit shit. Like all these random old pseuds were basically the reddit of their eras
>>77478396>>77478415Just try it when you're 40+ like me. For now youre still good so you can say whatever you like
>>77478983I'm near your age and my point still stands, your recovery should not be falling off a cliff
>>77478983I'm 39 and work 65 hours a week in a factory, in the desert without AC quit being a bitch
>>77478305Gold standard for maintenance is twice a week and works fine for me at 39 but my diet is strict in the sense that I never have too little protein.
>>77479044>bragging about how much you work and your shitty work conditionsI'll never understand people who brag about being a fucking slave. It's so fucking pathetic.
>>77478305>>77478983I've tried once a week in my mid 30s and it was a waste of time. Yes, those >2,5 hours in the gym (because it was the only day dedicated to train), didn't work. I might get sore because going all till failure but the feeling would evaporate after 72 hrs. Plenty of time for recovery, but also leaving a lot of it in the trash can. Time useful for exploding your body.No matter how busy you are, OP. Allow yourself to dedicate TWO days per week with good intensity as the BARE MINIMUM. Ideally, one should train three times per week going full hard. More is not bad, but optional.
>>77481220What do you mean wasted, can you be more specific? My goal is just to prevent muscle atrophy and keep it with once a week workout. If that is enough then i'm good. Because lately after my workout i'm feeling sluggish, sore and tired all day for 1-2 days after that and that's not a good sign. Before 40 i'm still feeling allright doing 3x per week. But after i'm hitting that magic number its all going down hill and now 2x per week feel too much and become a struggle. I'm not a newbie either have been training for 3 years now and always have good muscle mass
>>77481158this nig so unemployed he doesn't know what overtime is
>>77481158Having money is good, perpetually poor folks can't understand putting in lots of effort now for comfort and stability later
>>77482602alot will waste away of what you have build upcoming from someone who had to make do with 1 day per week for a while and it fucking sucksdo atleast 2 times like the other anon says
