If I'm a 40-year-old who has spent the last year focusing almost exclusively on weight training—and not much on activities like basketball, running, or other athletic movement—and I'm starting to feel like I'm losing some of my ability to turn, twist, jump, and move athletically, is that a normal tradeoff?
Would it be a good idea to slowly reintroduce performance-based activities like light basketball or other athletic/cardio work to regain coordination, mobility, and joint freedom?
And if I'm currently running MAPS Anabolic Advanced three days per week, would it make sense to drop that to two days per week to make room for this type of movement and conditioning? Or is there a better way to balance strength training with athletic performance at this stage?
