I'm 73 been working out since I was 7. On ADT for 8 months. Lost 10 lbs. of Muscle. It has leveled off since February. I have lost 40% of my strength, no big deal. I use light weights and concentrate on perfect form and slow mostly intense repetitions. Interestingly , ADT has not affected me aerobically. I bike 40-50 miles a week at a good clip.

Since you have some lifting experience, do you think I'd have any problem building muscle by going with heavier weights? How do I know which weight is right for me to lift? 8 reps until failure? 10 reps?
