Amir, I haven't found the after-40 bit to be true. I am lifting more now on most lifts than I was in my mid-20s. On some lifts, I can't test how I compare to younger years, as one of my stunt lifts, the leg press, needs heavier equipment than I have at home. I use squats instead at home, and they are murder, but I squat more now than I used to. But you can't really compare that to the leg press directly, so I'll have to test myself in a pro gym one of these days. I may be weaker there, but only because that used to be the main thing I concentrated on. Also, I am much heavier now than when I was in my mid-20s, so ask me again in six months when I hit my weight at 25. I may have different results to report then. Since I am only doing one maximum set with mostly basic exercises, I don't need to split my workouts. Back in the days when I did three different types of curls for my biceps, a split was important to get out of the gym before I died. <g>
