A comment on Less gym time, same results: Why ‘lowering’ weights is all you need to do. Parent comment
For reference, I'm a rounding error away from 50 and I still do advanced bar work - muscle ups, archer pullups, pull overs, etc...
I think it's important to always work with your bodyweight.
80% of strength is neuronal coordination, you'll get strong with the way you train.
Use your bodyweight in closed kinetic chain [1] exercises and avoid the machines unless you're injured or have a specific reason.
There are progressions for every level.
I recommend "Be your own gym" and "Overcoming Gravity" for great references on bodyweight training.
(Also: don't do muscle ups. The only people who like that are sports medicine docs.)
