At 50yrs old (51 actually)... can you still add size?

I think as long as you have normal levels of testosterone, train and eat accordingly, you can. It IS harder, but possible.

Length, no. Girth, yes.

You absolutely can, get that diet right and move my dude.

Leaning with lifting will show faster results, and stretch.

Drink coffee if that’s all it takes, but there are supplements a plenty out there. And yes, at least check with the guy at GNC.

Get [ON]OFF my lawn.

I'm in my forties and will say definitely yes.

For lifting...squat often, focus on the other big compound lifts (deadlift, bench press, shoulder press), be smart about accessory work, and work on mobility constantly. Follow a program, lots of good options on this board.

Diet matter, specifically eating the right things, and for me, eating enough. I've always had a slim build which is great for most athletic activities, but not as easy to put on size.

One simple thing I do is make sure I eat enough to fuel my workouts. I try to limit my carbs to workout days and supplement with protein shakes on those days. Also no bulk and cuts, I try to keep the same diet and workouts year round and aim for slow, but lasting gains.

Also, try to get 8 hours of sleep, makes more of a different as I get older when working out.

I’ve been checked and on therapy for years.

I am 68 and have gained size in my chest, shoulders, and arms and have toned the legs.
I use a pre-workout but have not used a test booster, however gains have been noticeable but not as I expected. If I did what I do now when I was much younger I’d have gained twice as much.

46 year old here. I think protecting joints is the highest principle when we get older. I’ve stopped lifting at all trying to heal tennis elbow, while focusing strictly on hot yoga.

I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve been while being pain free in my life. My core feels like a solid sheet of iron. When I start back doing squats they are going to feel good.

Smart!

I'm 60 with chronic tennis/golf elbow issues, and I always wear a strap on my right arm when working out. I have been able to lift without issue. Get a theraband and work with it.

I've been able to add size to my shoulders, arms, and chest.

Agree! As an older man now, I am the guy that I made fun of as a young man. Wrist, elbow, knee, and back support almost every workout. Protect those joints!
