Seems regular folk drop dead
-
Many do start dropping off in the 50's and 60's, always a laugh how everybody seems to think they will live to be 80....
But how many actually do. Gets people through the day though.

I’d consider myself very lucky to make it to 50.

53 still train 2 weeks heavy 2 weeks mid weight reps 10 to 12 i dont feel 53

58 years old. I train four days per week religiously. Rarely off gear these days. 245-248 pounds. Very strong. Still competing. Absolutely unhealthy. Feel great.

I know a couple of guys in their 50s that look great and train hard.I just never thought I would live to 50 and still don’t.I don’t feel early 40s either but I think eventually the chickens will come home to roost.

I hope you live very long Rob.
Without you, Getbig would be very dull.

I'm 56, I train 3 times a week, stretch every day ( working on being able to do the splits ) and do interval running 4 to 7 days a week. I feel great, my mobility and the physical freedom I earn from stretching - I am never stiff - and recently a nurse told me she would have never guessed I was my age. She called me jacked . . . proudest moment in my life. I take tons of vitamins and eat plant based. I feel better than I did 15 years ago.
Fromm a longevity perspective, exercise ( movement ) is 50% of the game.

47 and train regularly at home gym. Haven't been in a commercial gym for years.

In general I lift 3 to 4 days a week. Run 2 to 4 days a week with strike training. I'm in my 60's and I know many young men couldn't keep up with me in the weight room or with cardio. I had some set backs lately with injuries. One was my shoulder and the other an Achilles. I'm able to walk fast for cardio and lately I've been doing that for six miles at a time until I can run again. Until I hurt my Achilles I would have little doubt I could out sprint the majority of 20 somethings in the 40 yard. Now I can't sprint or even run at a decent clip but I'm working on it. My shoulder is feeling better from a partially torn rotator cuff the ortho guy found on the MRI. He has seen the worst injuries that can happen and he said basically I was lucky it wasn't a full rupture. The shoulder has gotten better from working on it. I think the fix wasn't the rotator exercises I was doing but the stretching and using corrective-joint safer weight exercises. An example is the typical delt lateral with a dumbbell. We are all taught to pretend we are pouring water. The correct form to free the tendon from impingment is to keep the thumb up toward the ceiling and bend over slightly as you do dumbbell delt laterals. Little tricks like that go a long way. Several exercises can cause shoulder impingment inflammation of the tendon causing a world of hurt.
I think the biggest thing to be concerned with as you age is injury. We all know the fat old guy who still has the big dead or bench. Trying to be well rounded in fitness should be the goal as you age and not specializing in a single rep max. I push the envelope too often and paid the price for it.

Interesting sentiment. I don’t feel old, don’t think old and I don’t live like I am old. The comments on injuries is accurate as I am always nursing something ( right rotor-cuff at the moment.) I began to think about physical limitations a while back and thought about kids . . . How they climb on rocks and jump up on small boulders as they play. I started to implement things like that and it really helps ( start slowly.) I also bought a skills ladder on Amazon and really enjoy running it - its a ball even when you screw it up.
Conservatively, I can hang with 35 / 40 year olds and it makes one feel great about themselves when their contemporaries can barely do a deep knee bend let alone stand up then they are in one.
I think I’ll go stretch.

Maybe where you live, they drop dead a 50 years of age. This is not the case where I live. My neighbor is recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. He tore it when skiing on Mt. Hood. He is 74 years old. In the summer, he and his wife go kayaking.
Currently I am hitting the weights and doing cardio 4-5 times a week. I am 75 1/2 years old.

That's because people die. In my mid-60s now. When I can train it is 3 to 5 times per week. If genuine full on Mentzer-level wacko H.I.T. once or twice a week is enough.
I can honestly say that when in "shape" I am better than many teenagers but the damning caveat is that many teenagers are out of shape fuckwits. ;D
So then. How do I impress the mature babes? I present them with the "illusion of mass". In other words I wear between 10 and 15 shirts at a time. ;D
I call this the "Wench Shirt". ;D

12 minute workout and 3 minutes on the bike!!!!
i'm back!!! lmao

I use a hashtag that I think I made up on most of my IG posts although I’ve been forgetting to add it. Anyway, it’s #fuckfathertime
I’m a little over 151/2 weeks out from my “warm up” show and a little under 19 weeks until the Nationals. Have no plans on letting up anytime soon

63 in a month. just got blood work back, even the doctor was shocked. perfect numbers, cholesterol was 112, trig, 114, LDL was 54. im very happy with my numbers, on 75 mgs of test once a week for 4 years, feel fantastic.
in the gym, forgetabout it. still kicking ass, 1 minute rest between sets, 50 minute workout, drenched in sweat. i fucking love this lifestyle. i have been doing this for 40 years now, not going to stop till i croak. did have a nice shoulder injury 4 months ago, which sucked.
ended up getting a chortizone shot in the shoulder, started rehabbing on my own, just one plate on the bench for two months. now 4 months later, im back at 315 for reps.
still look nasty. 260, bald head, walk with a swagger. still getting looks from my powerlifting build. BUT, cant squat, can barely walk some cold mornings, heavy squatting in my 30s was probally not the best idea for me. but i do use the treadmill at the gym.

Ha ha ha - well at least your Honest / no Excuses & You Can Change That.
Hope you do.

just don´t understand some guys. still i get looks for my bald head and powerlifting physique but am unable to 2 walk in cold weather...honestly

Early 50s here. But I'm constantly mistaken for being 32. This requires a Spartan diet (no carbs after noon) daily 60 minute cardio sessions, relentless weight lifting 5 days per week, mostly bodybuilding with some powerlifting mixed in. Ab work is 6 days per week. I carry less than 10% bodyfat year round and pride myself on constantly being "photoshoot ready". I am also very handsome and I retain this through Facial Yoga, exfoliation and Retinol anti-wrinkle cream. I have all my original teeth and I keep them "game show host white" through constant brushing and the use of whitening strips. Full head of hair I have managed to keep through a regimen. Bottom line is I look like a million bucks and I also happen to have a 9" donkey dick that MANY women have become addicted to. So there you have it.

The corona virus is airborne, so I suggest you hold your breathe while you wait because you'll be waiting for an eternity either way. ;)

It's not airborne
You are right, it is not technically an airborne virus. However, the virus does travel in air which is contaminated with the virus.
"The new coronavirus spreads mostly through person-to-person contact within about a 6-foot (1.8 meters) radius, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). People with COVID-19, which is the disease caused by the coronavirus, spread viral particles through coughing and sneezing. The particles can land in the mouths or noses of those nearby.
....the virus is not thought to spread via smaller droplets that can remain airborne for long periods of time."
The bottom line is because this is a new virus, there is a lot science doesn't know about it yet.

Nothing unusual.

Lots of people thrive without exercise in their 50s because they have not gone to the gym or been running.
No knee problems, no shoulder problems, no tears, no strains, no years of steroid abuse etc.
The more you train, the worse off you are.
-
62 here. I hit the gym 4x a week as does my wife. Life is good.
Why would someone be on a bodybuilding site if they don’t lift? You feckers think you’ll get this by osmosis?

Genetics and some drink and smoke. Think you got to workout as you get older, not stupid shit that will cripple you but enough to keep you feeling good. All about quality of life.

This is a bodybuilding site for spectators of bodybuilding and muscle worship, not training. And this is the Gossip & Opinions board.

I'm pretty sure you will feel even better not working out.

I'm 50 and still top 10% in my gym. If you live in a western country, 70 should be a given with the minimum effort. Of course shit happens at every age. But modern medicine keeps most people alive long after they should have expired
