Share your 40+ years old workout program plz?

[Green888]

Hi everybody.

Well, it happened!
I have now turned into a 40 year old man :/

Baah, it's not so bad, but i need some help.
I find that i need to exercise more and eat better, only to get less
traning results than when i was 25....Yikes!

I have begun to doubt my workout program, and sets, reps
Therefore i would really appreciated it, if you guys over 40 would post your program?

My goals are the same as 25 years ago when i began working out.
Size and strenght, but i train more sensible now, lower weights......due to some joint problems.

This is a typical workout program for me (i change it a little every 2-3 months)

Monday: Back - 5 exercises and about 25 sets.
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Chest - 4 exercises and about 20 sets & Biceps - 3 exercises and about 12 sets.
Thursday: Off
Friday: Delts - 4 exercises and about 25 sets & Triceps - 3 exercises and about 12 sets.
Saturday: Legs - Sets & exercises varies due to bad knee.
Sunday: Off

Please show me your 40+ workout programs and feel free to comment on mine.

Thank you in advance

I am a powerlifter, but older than you. Not sure if what I do interests you or not, but here you go:

Sunday: Max effort squat/deadlift and assistance work. (most of my lower body gets worked)
Monday: Max effort bench press and assistance work (most of my upper body gets worked)
Tuesday: Conditioning
Wednesday: Dynamic effort squat
Thursday: Dynamic effort bench
Friday: Conditioning
Saturday: Off

Conditioning days are light and help recovery and decrease muscle soreness.

Im actually very interested

After 25+ years of training bodybuilding, i still dont know how to train like a powerlifter.
Embarrasing i guess?

If it's not to much trouble, could you specify the exercises and sets/reps for me?
Im unclear on, what you mean by Max effort, Dynamic effort, Conditioning?
Unclear on what it means in terms of sets/reps and exercises.

If you could tell me what exercises and sets/reps you do on a typical week.
Then i could get a better picture about what we are talking about, and what the
poundages would be for me.

Thank you very much for your reply and info

Read this first:

Then I can answer specific questions. Much easier that way.

Edit: Conditioning can be anything that gets my creaking old ass moving.
