I look forward to you joining me in my misery. Mark Twain once said that it would be better if we started out old and grew young.

Mark Twain ripped that off of that movie Benjamin Button.  Doesn't this Twain fella have any originality?  ::)

I always like seeing all the 20 something personal trainers in the gym.  From my view it's really hard not to be in shape in your twenties.  So me a woman or guy in shape in their 50's without a chemical assist and I will listen to what they have to say about training.  I'm not going to listen to some kid who took a personal trainer course on the internet tell me how to train.

they can look awesome for their age but i still think old people are disgusting. i hate the idea of aging.

We all do. It's inevitable bud.


Unless you are intentionally trying to kill yourself, you'd better get used to it. I can promise you this: If you are into bodybuilding now, you will be then also. It's not like you wake up one day and say "Oh, I'm old, I better quit staying in shape, I want to be a fat pig now..."


Sometimes it is more of a "Fountain of Youth" type of thing. If you've been doing it your whole life, why would you stop?


You look around and all you see are fat, unhealthy older (and damn old) men with saggy man boobs and big ass bellies... If you can maintain a 6 pack (even in your late forties) you have already risen WAAAAAAY above the norm.

Dude a got pretty fucked up view on aging, once you hit thirty your body really starts getting shitty.  Your energy levels are gonna plummit as you get older.

And when you think about it, considering your body starts to decline perceptibly by around 35 years old, and considering how long people live nowadays, and it's seems like it's going to get even longer; you are pretty much "old" for most of your years here on earth.

Tito will change with the begrudging bitterness we all get as the years wear on. Or maybe just kill himself.

I've got the whole "Ripped" series. They are pretty good, I just wish he were a tad bigger (for my own inspiration)

He's big on cardio/aerobics and HUGE on eating all natural/organic foods.

I like that he lists all the healthy snacks. That's one of my favorite parts of the series. You can't just eat the same shit ALL THE TIME. It makes you insane.

I think I'm gonna add a little more muscle to him... and maybe a goatee... I know he can look cooler than that Bozo the Clown hair.

He's kind of a funky dude when it comes to dressing up. Funky hats n' shit. Oh well. Shredded for life, no doubt.

honestly i would rather be fat and happy at age 71 than torture myself over and over to be "ripped" if being ripped menas nothing than just ripped ugly old man

past 60 nobody looks good no matter how lean and muscular he is
past 60 the only thing that counts is health and fun, and beeing that lean isn t healthy either (at nay age)

dude, the guy probably knows no other way. probably been doing this his whole life. humans are creatures of habit.

Old dudes DONT HAVE TO BE OUT OF SHAPE!


People are just lazy. There's quite a few "old dudes" at my gym that have six pack abs. Granted, they aren't huge, but they don't look like 300 lb. blobs of chewed up bubblegum either.

Seriously? You think the only folks with abs compete? Or just show off?

It's an achievement. An accomplishment. The realization of a goal. It's feeling good about yourself. It's knowing that you are not of the obese majority in this nation. So many variables.

Whether or not you show your abs to others is your own damn business.


Kids...


There are such things as "subjectivity" in this world... you do realize that, don't you?

why do you care about the muscular legs of another man that much?

As I'm browsing through the threads on the is board I often come across your posts and it's pretty much 1 of 2 themes. 1. How we are all fucked up or not becuase of our parents. And theres nothing we can do about. Are choices are not as a result of free will but how we were raised.
2. HOw you ridicule everything about bodybuilding and everyone who participates in it.

I dont want to get into the first point but in regard to the second. Please answer this very sincere question because I really want toknow and I'm sure others do as well.

Why are you here?

This is a bodybuilding board where we try to build and sculpt or physiques. Why we like to do this or care is a separate topic entirely. You can ask that about anything. Why someone likes expenssive cars. Why they like to hit a hard white ball across a huge beautiful lawn. Why they like to drop metal plates from 1000 yards out with a 50 caliber. Why they like to practice fighting other men.... it goes on an on. We like to build and tone our bodies. Trim the fat so our muscles show more. For me it's visually pleasing when I see me or someone else with a lean body and developed muscles. For mean it connotes strenght and fitness. Something I happen to admire and find visually pleaseing. I don't know why. Just like I prefer slender women over the voluptuous ones like that Paker guy does. Its just what we like .

Maintaining a lean muscular physique, one where your abs are visible, especially for someone over forty is quite an achievement. I read that only 7% of the male population over 18 years old has visible abs and that number drops fast as the years increase. To me it's asethetically pleaseing to see a set of washboard abs on a man, and on myself moreso, than a layer of flab let alone a pop belly. I work to hard to try and get them. And it's not because I want to lift my shirt and flash a six pack, something I have never done even when I had abs. It's because its just something I prefer to a flabby gut. And it doesn make me look better when I have to tuck in my shirt to not have a pot belly spilling over. but I guess that makes me a narcissist because I want to look better. I should have never had braces or bother combing my hair becaue I dont want to seem like Im trying toimpress others.

We care about Platz legs because as bodybuilders his were exceptionally developed and conditioned. It's what bodybuilders strive for. We all understand that bodybuidling isn't for everyone. Not everyone, probably the vast majority, appreciate the devellopment of Platz's legs and don't even find it visually pleasing. Just like I don't understand the appeal of tattoos, spending 10 grand on a watch, why any would want to run 26 miles.... but different strokes for different folks.

There is obviously nothing you like about bodybuilding as all you do is ridicule it. So again I ask wtih genuine sincerity and interest

Why are you here?

What did  YOUR parents  do to you that you feel so compelled to be on a board whose main subject you despise and ridicule and put others down? Is it  "To impress others people and show them how better than them you are?"

Please. Seriously. Answer this question. Maybe you can teach me something.
