When you're getting old you better be careful with your joints. Hence why pumpster works out with a bowflex:

Yeah. I'm 41 and still squat once a week.

Due to many lower back strains, I pre-exhaust my quads with a few sets of leg extensions first.

I still cycle my workouts every few months. A few months of higher rep/lighter sets, then 4-6 weeks of lower rep/heavier sets.

I'm 53. have fracture and low grade slippped disk in L5
I squat and deadlift. cycle the movements in and out of my
dc type routine that way no worries about getting up to
any poundages that may injure me worse.
hurt my back during my concrete construction career.
never had another injury in the 20 years ive been training

38 and squatting, but not that heavy and not that deep.  I have nothing to prove and the cost of my being injured is far greater than any reward I might gain for moving a lot of weight.

Oh, my physiological age is mid-40s.

Most people yahs age aren't lifting anymore because of

1. Injuries
2. Dominating wife
3. Career that's taken away gym time, which is a bunch of bullshit.
4. Spending to much time on GetBig.
5. Getting discouraged because they were not as good as they were, when they were younger.

agreed, 3 hours a week isn't too much to ask for to keep your body from falling apart, if you really love something, you make time for it

lol, i'm glad bud  :)

it is alot easier to be out of shape that in shape, people sit infront of their TV's hours everyday but don't go to the gym for a fraction
of that time, then there are those who blame being really out of shape on age, which is just another excuse, if you take care of your body it will take care of you, some people don't like to workout i guess, i love it, i don't do it because i have to, i do it because i want to, it's a
great hobby.
