I’ll get onboard. Looking for any ideas to even slow down the wasting.
Sarcopenia became significantly obvious when I turned 60. The decline has been fairly linear. I am currently 73.
Bam! I’m in again.

It was a joke topic title, really.
The only things I know of that work are exogenous hormones and weight training. I’m about 13 years behind you and not experiencing sarcopenia as a natty…yet.

“Working out regularly is the absolute key to preventing (and healing) sarcopenia.” So your doing preventive medicine.

From my experience this is a joke! At least a false hope.
Found that quote on several pages about the subject. Not suffering from it I have no idea. Oh well, that was my rare shot at advice.

Hey mate, what would be your go to for post workout food wise?
I find fatty hamburgers or super-mayonnaised tuna on heavily buttered toast coupled with a giant glass of milk particularly satisfying.

No wonder the box squats were tough. I bumped the weight 20lbs instead of a more reasonable 10 in addition to reducing the box height. Guess I did all right then.
