I am 55 years old. In my twenties, thirties and early forties I ran a lot and did things like pull-ups push-ups and crunches. The past 10 years have been much more weight lifting.
I currently lift 5 days a week
MWF -- benchpress, leg press, leg curl, seated rows and back extensions
T TH --- pull-ups, leg raises, overhead press, bicep curls, deadlift, dumbbell lateral raises and shoulder shrugs
At times I have been focused on lifting heavy and relatively few reps. Currently I am biased the other way, a lot more volume at lower weight.
Mix in some walking, jogging and "sprinting" for some cardio. At times I have reduced the weight training and bumped up the cardio for several months.
Goals: mix of health, functional strength and looking good
Eating: I have been on intermittent fasting for 4 years. Style is 16:8 with the occasional 20:4 or even 22:2 thrown in. I do not really restrict what I eat, but 90% of days I break my fast around midday with a very large multi-ingredient salad so that I am starting with the healthiest food.
