Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Research shows adults well into their 60s, 70s, and beyond can increase strength and add lean muscle with consistent progressive resistance training. Muscle loss is not inevitable — it’s largely the result of inactivity and poor nutrition. At BMP50 we help people reverse that decline with focused training and smart nutrition.
Most trainers give you a generic workout and diet. We evaluate your health, look at DNA insights when useful, check for common supplement deficiencies, and design a custom macro nutrient profile tailored to you. The goal is maximum results from both training and nutrition, not a one-size-fits-all program.
Most people do best training major muscle groups 2–3 times per week with proper recovery between sessions. Quality and progressive overload matter more than frequency. We design programs that fit real life while still driving strength and muscle gains.
Some peptides can support recovery, growth hormone pathways, or tissue health, but strong evidence for significant muscle growth in healthy training adults is still limited. They are never a replacement for progressive resistance training and proper nutrition. Any peptide use should be done under medical supervision.
For most healthy adults, yes — especially when starting conservatively with good form and progressive loading. Anyone with existing health conditions should check with their doctor first. Strength training is one of the best things you can do for bone density, metabolic health, and independence after 50.
