It's not so different from an under 40-year old. The increase in intracellular proteins (actin, myosin, troponin, tropomyosin) appear to be mostly related to the load on the muscle, not the age of the owner. The key seems to be taking the muscles to temporary failure, to activate the type IIb fibers. So, with the exercises that you are doing, perform 8-12 RM (that means max effort at 8-12 reps.) Check your kinesiology to be sure that you are working the muscles in appropriate major muscle balance.
Take care.

Michele,
The best answer that I can offer you is that fitness is not a "cookie-cutter" business. Over 40 year old males come in all shapes, sizes, and ability levels. In order to determine the best muscle-building program for a man over 40, we'd have to at least know his health history, his body type/composition, and we'd have to know a little about his current activity level, at a minimum.

I believe the key is a periodized program. Break the periods into specific goals such as a strength phase, fat burning phase, etc. and have the program designed around the individual goals. This should work for everyone, not just the over 40 crowd.

The only thing that is different is your recovery time and this is only a factor after the firsrt3-6 months of weight training...at any age.

Normal nutritional requirements + protein + law of thermodynamics. Get them eating more than they should and get them lifting heavy.

The best approach will always be based upon science.
67-85% of your 1RM are the ranges one should be training at in order to increase muscle size. The repetition ranges are 8-12. These guidelines along with eating the proper amount of macronutrients and proper rest will put on you the path to hypertrophy.
Speak with your trainer. I am sure he/she will be able to assist you in reaching your fitness goals.

It's not therefore totally different from AN underneath 40-year previous. the rise in living thing proteins simple protein, mySimon, tronning, antibiotic drug seem to be principally associated with the load on the muscle, not the age of the owner. The key looks to be taking the muscles to temporary failure, to activate the sort IIb fibers. So, with the exercises that you simply do, perform 8-12 RM which means gamma hydrogenate effort at 8-12 reps. Check your medical specialty to make certain that you simply at operating the muscles in applicable major muscle balance.

A good exercise program, a good recovery program, and a good nutritional program. And if you aren't able to do that on your own, you hire someone to help you. Do you fix your plumbing yourself without the skills needed? Your car? Your teeth? Your hair? Your mind? How is hiring a fitness professional not the smartest option?
