[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 222382, member: 15235"] The rule of thumb for connective tissue that I have heard is that it has about 1/10th the metabolic rate of muscle due to reduced blood supply. In my experience, (I'm 61) the connective tissue will adapt but it takes time. The most important thing is to avoid what Stu McGill calls "cummulative trauma". I stopped going to failure back around 2010 and have replaced that with multiple sets of between 1-5 reps at 90-95% of 1RM. The total volume I do now is astronomical compared to when I trained to failure, I am stronger overall, and my joints are much happier about it. I also train the bigger lifts with at least 3-4 days rest, or more, and have reduced the volume of work my lower back has to do, all of which has helped. [/QUOTE]
