I'm gonna throw out a strange question

[PK-V]

Do you think you had one guy aged 20 and another guy aged 50 with the same testosterone levels height weight knowledge etc etc etc do you think it would be easier for the older guy to put on muscle quicker due to his muscle maturity?

muscle maturity = tougher more inelastic muscle
resistance training would cause more damage due to the toughness compared to the 20 year old who has more elastic muscle which can absorb some of the weight
in turn causing more muscle damage in the older guy causing a bigger tear and a larger muscle recovery size compared to the young guy?


possible bro-science with the mature muscle elasticity idea

thoughts?

20 year old will heal up faster then a old prune lol

it depends on their "lifting stats", but if both of them have lifted since they were 16 lets say, then took 6 months off and then started up again, the 50 year old would put on muscle faster due to much more muscle memory, all other things being equal of course
