Title: When you did you realize you're getting older....?
Post by: Dr Dutch on September 19, 2011, 12:52:40 PM
Just finished a leg workout after some time off. It's not the same as when I was 20, I'll tell you that. I have lots of respect for pro's older than I am, and still winning shows, like Alves and Xman and then some....

Right. Party all night, sleep a few hours, then to the gym to sweat out the hangover. Now I can't even lift my toothbrush after a night like that....

I realized I was getting old(er) when spending time with my infant daughter was way more important than doing a 20 rep set of squats.
That playing a round of golf with my father was way more important than a deadlift session.
That I hadn't been sick in 5+ years, then my daughter went to daycare and I was sick off/on for the better part of 6 months.

The zone between not recuperating enough (hurting joints) and recuperating too long (strenght diminishes) seems to get smaller. It takes longer to get back after a lay off. I get injured more often. And I can't go party after a tough workout anymore.
I'm turning into a sissy actually. Maybe I should join a "fitness center".... :-\

It really hit me when one year when I had the TV on in the background and the Grammys were on.  They were announcing the Album Of The Year (or maybe it was Song of the year).  Anyway, when they announced the list of nominees and the winner, I realized I had not heard of any of them nor was I familiar with the songs they sang.  And I did not care one iota. For me that made it official:  I was old.  :D

I'm 34, and the only thing that slows me down is that my knees are shot to pieces from all the heavy leg workouts over the years. Sometimes, on a bad day, it hurts to walk.

The rest of me is fine - still got the same motivation for training as I've ever had and I can still recover from workouts just as quickly. My strength levels are the same too, if not better - I'm as strong as I've ever been as a natural.

In other words, I don't feel 34 - feel like I'm in my mid twenties or thereabouts.

Seriously, when I was 8/9 I wanted to started playing hockey, but didn't because my cousin informed me I was too old to get into the nhl :-\ no joke
Ever since then I've always felt "too old" for whatever be it a rockstar, a serious bodybuilder, you  name it. It's I guess a bit of my own personal narcissism.

However over the last year I've become more ok with the horrid disease of living. In the last year I"ve moved back to my home town(due to health problems/financial), hung out exclusively with people 2-5 years younger(all potheads) than me, basically had a midlife crisis at 24.  On my 24th birthday I had to goto my grandfathers funeral, and I was the most involved person there because nobody besides me my dad and uncle even knew him. Then that night I spent the night drinking with people who were all atleast 20 years my senior, had a good conversation with my 67 year uncle about how kickass led zepplin was. Then to follow it up I visited my best friend and his wife who got a bun in the oven. So I know this is a bunch of babbling but you can see  I feel fucking old.

Turning 34 and most of my aches have gone - at age of 18 to 26 it was tough.
Hair loss, but I've shaved my head since an eternity.
If I feel funny I let the hair grow and most people are totally thrown off because I look young but have an old geezer's hair line   :D
I never would have dared such a thing when I was younger - if you're lucky and your body doesn't fall apart too soon many of life's doors are wide open.
A new hair here and there - head excluded - that's it.

Oh, did you mean when working out. My workouts are going well. Maybe it's the routine I do where I only work each muscle group once a week. But, no problems with recovery. Of course being retired, I can and often do sleep 10 hours in a night. Sleep is like the magic healer.

The mind is a powerful tool. If you think you're old you will be. I still look to the younger guys at the gym for workout tips and comparisons. My wife thinks that's crazy. She'll tell me something like, "You're not twenty anymore." True, but if I can lift like a twenty-something does, more power to me.  I think this is progressive and positive thinking.

I felt I was good, meaning no noticeable decline in athletic performance and feeling great, until about 38.  I was still going strong keeping up with my training program and competing but started becoming more conscious of my age which previously I really didn't give much thought to before. At 39 is when I started TRT. I really hit the wall when I turned 46. Nothing special about that number but that's when things noticeably started to fall apart. Everything from looks (wrinkles starting appearing), losing strength, recovery ability took a big dive, aches and pains constantly, always stiff and creaky, I've always been prone to injury but it got to the point where I got pretty fragile and I have to watch and limit some of the things I do. And there are now things I am simply unable to do. I probably do barely 20% of what I use to do because I've had to cut back so much. And still I drag. I look back and can't believe the daily program I use to follow. It would kill me now. Training 5-6 days a week twice a day. Hell, on Saturdays I would go to the gym from 8am-9:30am, then Jiu-Jitsu from 10-12noon, lunch, then Judo class from 2-3:30pm, and after hanging out with the team and eating and BS-ing until around 6:00pm I would go home and go at the heavy bag for about an hour. I was essentially training all day.

Physically speaking, it really, really does suck to get old. And you know it's only going to get worse.

Physiologically there seems to be a worsening at 50yrs and 70yrs of age, but it also has to do with the strainful years you had. Guy like Vince Taylor started bb quite old, and he is/was good into his 50's. Rich Gaspari started very early and heavy and look at him now at, what, 48 or so ?

Oh and this...if I drink a beer and then drive...no matter if its one beer or three, I have to freakin pull over every single muthaf&%kin time on the way to where I'm going to empty my bladder. And the older I get the less concerned I am about where I empty it. The other day I just stopped at the lights, opened the door and kind of rolled sideways, lent over and let it go.

How about not drinking beer and then driving?  ::)

Dude you may feel 25, but no matter what logic you use, to everyday people you look like a walking midlife crisis. I'm not saying I won't be hitting the hrt myself in a few years, but your not gonna change public opinion. People expect senior people to act a certain, they do not like to see older people engage in activities that are narcissistic or hazardous to their health, especially if they have young children/wife.

And I look easily ten years younger than my true age..not a line on my face, and i have enough hair for two people  .I don't wear stupid clothing, I dress casual and neat. I don't hang out at nighclubs, my woman will be 40 in 5 months.

I'm the furthest thing from a guy trying to act like he's 25...not interested. You people think because i come here and talk shit that i act the fool in real life....wrong

Tell me you don't feel the pressure from people to act a certain way as you get older. I wasn't saying he was wrong, I'm just saying no matter how hard you try the older you get the more public opinion becomes an unpleasant reality.

I just turned 30 this year. I noticed a few grey hairs on my head and some of my friends look down on me for banging 20 yr olds. They're all married and trying to live vicariously through me though so I know they're just jealous ;D

I also noticed several years ago that my left elbow 'clicks' while bench pressing if I don't warm it up correctly.

I just turned 49 in August, I can still bench 440, squat 550 and keep up with most of my athletes on the field as far as skills and performance, but I fell like I'm a bit of a hypocondriac (sp). Since the college and NFL season started, like every year on the weekends, it's wings, cheese platters, my wifes chamorro dishes (spicy) and wine.

Coach,

It is all a matter of perspective. And that "physical decrepitude" you speak of can be staved off/minimized for a lot longer than most think, provided that you are committed to a healthy lifestyle including proper food intake (diet) and physical activity (exercise).

Obviously, you are getting so "old" that you tend to confuse what is real from what you've seen in the movies....although the Titanic did sink on April 10, 1912, which would mean that you'd have to be at least 99 years old to actually remember this. And what a wise baby you must have been. Most infants are too busy thinking about their next meal or their poopy diapers even care about world events. However, if you are 99 years old,  you're doing great still posting on Internet blogs. LOL!

I wonder what it feels like to be that old. Everyone you loved and cared for in the first half of your life are most likely gone and long forgotten.. if you're 111 years old and remember the stuff that happened in your twenties.. do you even feel like the same person? Do you still miss the friends you had 80 years ago?

The oldest person ever(confirmed at least), lived to be 122 years old

Health and lifestyle

Calment's remarkable health presaged her later record. At age 85, she took up fencing, and continued to ride her bicycle up until her 100th birthday. She was reportedly neither athletic, nor fanatical about her health.[9] Calment lived on her own until shortly before her 110th birthday, when it was decided that she needed to be moved to a nursing home after a cooking accident (she was having complications with sight) started a small fire in her flat. However, Calment was still in good shape, and was able to walk until she fractured her femur during a fall at age 114 years and 11 months, which required surgery.[3][14] After her operation, Calment needed to use a wheelchair. She weighed 45 kilograms (99 lb) in 1994.[15] Calment became ill with influenza shortly before her 116th birthday.[16] She smoked until the age of 117, only five years before her death.[1][16] Calment smoked from the age of 21 (1896), though according to an unspecified source, she smoked no more than two cigarettes per day.[17]

She ascribed her longevity and relatively youthful appearance for her age to olive oil, which she said she poured on all her food[4] and rubbed onto her skin, as well as a diet of port wine, and ate nearly one kilo of chocolate every week.[11]

When I couldn't wait until Sunday because the Ed Sullivan show was featuring Ike and Tina Turner. Hmmm, savage black woman in mini skirt. Schwing!

Yes. My parents watched Ed Sullivan on Sunday nights also. Unlike folks today, my parents house had one television and it was in the living room. I watched the television shows my parents picked out to watch. Presently, there are three adults and one teenager living in our house. Altogether, we have five televisions scattered though various rooms. Oh the excess!

Yep, I grew in an era of one car one TV. I recently read that today there are more TVs in the average household than there are people. One of the biggest mistakes I think  parent can make is allowing a teenager to have a TV in his room. In fact, I don't think they should even have a computer in their room.

Pellius,

Jezebelle and I do not own a Television at all.  We refuse to get one.  However, we are building a dedicated home theater to watch movies, play video games, youtube.

Perhaps you are right. Until our daughter, her husband and son moved in with us, we only had one television. (Our daughter and grandson are living with us while  dad is deployed to Afghanistan). All the while our two children were growing up, we had one television. Our son was an avid reader and watched very little television. However, our grandson is also an avid reader, a honors student and very into soccer, so he is very well rounded. I don't know when he has time to turn on the television in his room.

It seems crazy that besides having five televisions, we also have three computers hooked up and working. It goes without saying that our electric bill is large. Oh and we have two land lines and each of us has a cell phone too. We are totally connected....as if we were that important! Ha, ha. With three adults we also have three cars....this is beginning to sound like wretched excess.

I respect that.

If you had to go to from one extreme to another, I believe if you are raising kids it would be better not to have a TV in the house. But if you do there should be strict limitations. It should only be on to view specific previously approved and planned out programs. None of this perpetual 24 hour a day TV blasting. People have it on even when they are not watching it. They just like the mindless chatter. TV, MTV, has really been one of the causes for the down fall of our culture. Not only do people, especially kids, not read books. They are simply unable to because their attention span and ability to focus and concentrate has been so compromised by TV.

I'm not saying it's all bad. Rarely are things all bad. But I believe it has been mostly bad. Do families even sit at the dinner table anymore? Unless it's Thanksgiving seems like everyone eats in front of the TV.

Recenty. Since turning 51. Things are just dfferent now.  Used to be an animal in the gym. Still can outlift anyone there, but don't want to do it as desperately. Working at a hard corrections job is sucking most of my energy.

While our kids were growing up, we had dinner every night together around the dinner table. Now that our kids are grown, my wife and I watch Jeopardy while eating dinner. We eat in the living room off TV trays. Our daughter often has dinner with her son at the kitchen table. We try to all have dinner together a couple of times a week, but with our grandson's soccer practice and other high school activities, they are on the go a lot. Last month, our son, his wife and kids were here visiting. They live in Germany. Our son-in-law was also here on leave. We had ten at the dinner table most nights. Fortunately, we have a large dining room with a large table that will seat up to twelve people. It was fun, all of us being together around the dinner table. It would have even been better if we would have hired someone to cook and do the dishes for us. LOL! My wife, daughter and daughter-in-law are all good cooks though. It just a lot of work putting together a dinner for ten folks.

I`m still leaning to the Epson 8350 but I came across a few posts on a Home Theater forum saying to wait for this years new NEC projections as they have some sort of light technology that is supposed to provide the best color range while costing nearly the same as the Epson HD projectors.

So far we have the ceiling painted a light Gold and we will paint the walls red and trim black-the idea being an early Victorian Theater.  I am in no rush to complete really as I have a few other products I have to finish before the winter.

So you're going to watch TV online?

Did you give up on watches but just check your cellphone to find out the time?
