The technical answer is at least somewhere around four working sets taken close to failure in a muscle group should be able to build lean muscle if you're looking for the bare minimum.

That's the building muscle. If you want to maintain muscle, it's typically one ninth of your previous training volume.

Then you're maintaining just by doing your daily life because you didn't build anything beyond that anyway.

Well, you're going to fall if you if you typically stick to what you're just doing, you're going to fall into that age related decline.

It is 0.5% in your 40s, 1-2% in your 50s, and then 3% 60 onward.

Mm-hmm.

I mean, that's where I would really start to go for that four sets taking close to failure per muscle group per week.
