Robby strikes a pose once again.

[Radical Plato]

People with labor-heavy occupations (or especially if they spend a lot of time kneeling/squatting) often have a high risk for osteoarthritis.

Interestingly it's not very common at all in runners, who load the hell out of their legs.  There are things to consider here.

My Mum was mad gardener also, always kneeling and squatting.  So when she wasn't working and raising five kids and it's associated tasks she was always in the garden, often lifting heavy rocks and branches and the like, even though we would tell her off as she got older, my Mum is old school stubborn.

Youre going to the extreme of both ends ....

Yes, you have average people (specially women) that didnt dedicated their life to Physical activities deteriorating with age....

My point is, Say you get a retired MLB pitcher (after 20 plus years of abusing his throwing arm) he walks away from pro baseball at the fairly young age of 40 he does exercise, stays in shape enjoy life etc and don't have joints pains and all that uncomfortable crap that comes with wear and tear....

Bodybuilders go to a doctor when (they can't take it anymore) and when the doctor tells them to stop they wont just listen  , yes they look "healthy" and muscular but you'll be surprised they can't even do regular stuff of everyday life  (when no camera is around) because of  constant pain all over their body ..... again, Hope Robby feels great (no jealousy here)    lol



WoooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I get that point, but Robby's phyisque alone would make it appear he's not dealing with anything major.

Light weight training and moderate drug use wouldn't be crippling.

To be fair, my Mum was  a career nurse and she says her problem was made much worse by the constant heavy lifting they did.  Nursing is tough on the body when it comes to lifting patients (well it was back in the day before technology caught up).  It is hard to use good form when performing the types of awkward lifts the nurses used to do.  She only stopped working about six years ago, her deterioration has been quite rapid unfortunately.  Osteoarthritis is a bitch.

Sorry to hear that .... But that's my point  It all comes down to wear and tear ...


Some old Bodybuilders still look like the can bench 400 lbs but they cant put their cars  seat belt on without having pain in joints.



True story .

"Nice try" at what  I think you may have misunderstood.

You said "I have an idea how pro athletes feels after 20 plus years  of intense trainer"; poor grammer aside, does this not imply you have some personal experience with the matter?

Most athletes who have trouble physically in retirement have had some sort of traumatic injury.  The evidence for intensive physical activity being beneficial for health and overall well-being, at any age, is overwhelming.  It absolutely does not cause chronic pain as a general rule.

1- English is my 2nd language LOL

2- I have  experience with the matter both personal and with athletes (close friends)Hall of famers  from several sports, . 

3- I'm not talking about "any age " Lifting weighs over 30 years non stop will pass you the bill later in life (specially if you look like Robby R)




WoooSSHHHHHHHHHHHH     BE YE KE

Here's Robby in his early 40's


He had chronic pain in one of his shoulders ..... However,  does he look better than a 25 year old regular Joe  ?  Hell YES

Now he's 70 and probably wish he felt the same way when he was 40  lol .

I think it must be painful for him to look at that photo and the outfit he has on.

Cool Fro and Stache tho.

[Melkor]

Impressive physique and impressive vital organ genetics.

Too bad most people don't have this luck and end up with a fried kidney or two after a couple decades of doing what he's been doing for almost half a century.

He was never a heavy user of steroids. In fact he has stated that at his heaviest he was around 210 and usually walked around lighter than that.

In one of his reccent comments in FB he emphasized that he feels 28.
 I personally know a fella who has been a powerlifter for about 30-35 years, currently 55, still can squat a weight I could not imagine even unracking, and guess what... he has NO pain, nor his knees, nor his back, works a construction job through the day, climbs the ladders, etc... Some people just are gifted, simple as that.

Any evidence for this claim or are we just taking your word for it?

Evidences and claims   Oh Christ ..

appearance vs reality


If Robby was in pain all they (at the age of 70) but  looking that GOOD as he do ... I doubt he will admit it .... People "fans" go by appearance in bodybuilding and nothing more .

I don't know what this gobbledegook is supposed to say (get a dictionary or something) but sounds like that's a "no" on any evidence, other than you vomiting out your uninformed broscience opinion.

He looks like shit, a typical fatso powerlifter, you hardly could guess he lifts with clothes on. Not even on drugs for the past 10 years or so. It still blows my mind when I see ppl like that, some are already crippled by that age while these are wondering whether they should add another plate to 550lb on a barbell after a long day at physical job (like a said fella).

The difference - he's not weak by any means. Maybe you should up the beer consumption.

Bingo that's exactly my point.


On the other hand you have people in marvelous shape Ferrigno in his 60's and late Nubret (when was on his 60's) with lots of joints,wrist,hips,elbows you name it , and tendons pain Although they sell the "fountain of youth theory" based on looks ....Father time will get you one way or the other.....

 
I guess I've been around long enough not to judge by appearance no more .

The thing is - dude has been beating jis joints beyond any sane limits for more than half of his life yet remains pain/injury free. It's amazing how people can differ in their physical features/experience regarding this stuff.

Robby looks like the type of guy who shows up at the gym wearing the cheap gym tshirt that you thought you lost a few days prior
