The reason is difficult to increase muscle after age 50

Thanh Thanh |

According to Eat This Not That, muscle gain becomes more difficult after the age of 50 due to the natural factors related to age.

Change hormone

When we get old, especially after the age of 50, the testosterone level will decrease. This can make muscle construction more difficult because testosterone is the main factor in muscle development.

Additionally, as we age, our muscles become less efficient at using protein. Protein is the main building block of muscle through protein synthesis. This means it takes more effort to train and eat to see muscle growth results.

Reduce the level of operation

The less active you are, the more muscle mass you lose. As people age, they become less active. This can make it harder to gain muscle.

Recovery time

Rest, let the muscles have time to recover after training and work becomes more important when you get older. When you are over 50 years old, the time for muscles to recover between training sessions will increase.

The introduction of certain exercises into training habits such as squats, feet, pushing, plank ... helps promote muscle development. At the same time, maintain a healthy diet, full of nutrients.
