This study followed everyone for 6 months so they probably got past that factor.

I doubt it. In my experience (at least when it comes to lifting), newbie gains last at least a year. Good chance that if they've been untrained all their life (or the majority of it) that phase is gonna last a real long time.

A year of continuous gains for a 72 year old? I highly doubt it. For a skinnyfat 20 year old, sure.

> I highly doubt it.

Not a very convincing discussion point without some support.
