Depending on what you consider an "old guy" I may be right there with you.

I learned late about using the compound movements to gain size & strength.
I'm the skinny guy getting sand kicked in my face at the beach but have been lifting off and on for a number of years. Most recently (past 3 years) got up to 200lbs (body weight) from a steady 165-170, but 21-26% body fat.
Got a little stressed and lost 30 lbs over the past 4 months, so I'm back down to 170. Would like to get back to 200 but want to bring the body fat % down between 10-15%. Soon to be 50 yrs old so I may have to adjust those goals, but time will tell.
Leg workout is kicking my a$$ already!
Tomorrow's a rest day.
