Reader Questions:

  1. What advice can you give to older lifters?  50+? Every program I read is addressed to people in their 20s or 30s. What should we do? Any hope for us older folks?
  2. What can you do if you have a specific body part, for example arms, that just doesn't seem to respond the way the rest of your body is responding as far as growth?
  3. How do you diet down to that 8-10% range without crashing your libido?
