Can you show home workouts that are just as effective as working out in the gym? Thanks

I am 71. I focus on the main lifts with high intensity and low volume. For example, 5x3 on squats. I eat a carnivore diet and work out three times per week. I only increase weight when it starts to feel too easy. I never increase if form is not spot on. Too much volume will make recovery too hard at my age.

Lifting heavy with longer rest breaks in-between sets lower body for my body type. Lighter weight with more reps to failure upper body as genetically I have bigger at the top then bottom and have higher Androgens due to PCOS and stress. Cardio a must if you insulin resistance and bigger at top.I agree with everything else here though

I’ve recently been to a leading sports nutritionist and can confirm everything in this video. I’m in my 40s was working out four times a week and still losing muscle . It was all down to not eating enough protein and not loading enough . You’ve been given me that extra motivation to the program my nutritionist gave me. Thank you ever so much and keep it up. ❤
