You stupid, stupid man.
Clarence Bass is right, and he supports his assertions with well-conducted research.
But people who have been seriously working out their whole adult lives do not continue to make strength and muscular gains after 40+ years. It doesn't happen. If you actually worked out, then you would know this. But you are an ignorant thug whose posts are an assault on IQ.
Go to Bass's web site and look at the pictorial. He's in great shape. Look at his physique when he was in his 40s. Then look at his physique when he turned 60. And look at him now as he approaches 80. He has worked out for over 65 years and is a great physical specimen who has stood the test of time, to be sure. But was he getting more muscular with the passage of time after his 40s and into his 50s? No. Also, note that he was a successful competitive Olympic lifter at the state level in his younger days. Is he even stronger now? Would he still be competitive? Of course not.
So WTF is the basis for your incessant buffoonery?
All kidding aside, you are a wretched fool. Be gone.
Maintenance is not promoted in your articles.
