how do you know he isnt on any meds for his health also?...also, long bow to say that most people his age are fat or can barely walk a flight of stairs...there are plenty of healthy 50 somethings out there..
the real issue here is that for someone to continue to BB, there must be some psychological issue as its totally impractical, unnecessary and time consuming. arguably all BBs who aspire to this level of development have some form of ego or narcissistic mental condition in the first place. Does that mean that they're still considered in the "healthy" group?
lets have a balanced debate shall we?
Friend, 2 out of 3 American are fat. The ratio grows exponentially as the age increases. True he may be on heart meds or blood pressure meds, or anxiety meds like the majority of people nowadays over 40. But I find it doubtful. You don't do the type of physical exertion he does, and has do for decades, and be unhealthy.
You ever think that sometimes people participate in an activity simply because they love it? I know someone that's sixty years old and still likes to roll on the mat and get in the ring to mix it up. Is it because he's compensating for something lacking in his ego? Would he be mentally healthier if he just stop and vegged on the couch or maybe you can suggest something that you consider and better way to spend one's time. And when you consider the amount of time the average American spends in front of the TV it is not impractical and time consuming because, just like my friend, I watch virtually no TV.
And unnecessary? Brother, there are very few things in life that are absolutely necessary. What do you do outside of work and is it "necessary"?
What age do you plan to give up training, or do you even train, and let yourself become a slob?
