I'm in the same boat... over 40, focused on functional strength, not concerned with mass.
I alternate and employ the confusion principle, meaning one day/week I'll go light and high reps (12 - 15) and another week go heavy and low (6 max.)...the other thing is body weight/plyometric type stuff. TRX is awesome and there are tons of exercises you can do with little or no weight.
My biggest issue is recovery. I have to force myself to rest.
