Im wondering how older lifters here lift.
I was a competitive powerlifter in my 20's .
Now im fixing to turn 61 in a few weeks.
My concession to age is to have lowered the wieght and increased the rep range.
I still go to failure on a set....but with less wieght and more reps.
On stuff like squats.....ive decided that i don't need to be loading my spine,knees and hip joints up with 200 kilos anymore to be a fit old guy......these days i have a self induced maximum of 100 kilos (225 lbs) and do 4 sets to failure....
First set equels around 28 to 30 reps or a bit less depending on how im feeling that day.....
I lift 3 days per week...Monday, Wednesday and Friday....upper body.....lower body.....upper body...lower body....etc
I also ride my bicycle for an hour on non lifting days.....well.....not after leg day!
