you know Pellius, when it comes to me all you did was say how out of shape I am, how ugly I am, etc etc. I have ZERO joint issues, no pains, not on meds other than my crazy pills, and we are only a few years apart. Interesting how that goes
All I did was say how out of shape you are? I'm not even sure who you are and you only have 7 posts.
But I've made it abundantly clear, crystal clear, that if your goal in life is to be safe and healthy. To avoid
all forms of intense physical exertion and never challenge yourself and try to take yourself to your limit, then of course you will fare much better physically. My aunt has a 1998 Ford Fiesta with only 25,000 miles on it. It's like brand new. She hardly uses it. Most cars are in the junk yard. So look back on your life and asked yourself did you, are you, getting the most out of it? Are you living it or just existing in it? Everything in life is temporary, even you will eventually get old and have similar problems. We all die. But what did you do before that. That's why I don't criticize Ronnie Coleman. Yes, he speeded up the aging process but he wouldn't have it any other way. He lived his dream. He was what he wanted to become even though it was temporary -- like everything is.
So now he's hobbling around like an old man. Like we all will one day if we don't die young. But he has something that you don't. Maybe it doesn't matter to you but it does to him. To each his own. I hope you are happy and enjoying life.
BTW, you mentioned "crazy pill". I would much rather my body go than my mind. And I believe how you live your life determines to a large extent your mental health. When someone has a purpose in life, a desire, a motivation, to achieve something. To be something. To break free from the pack -- or at least try to. I think that puts you in a much healthier state of mind than just getting through the day. Ronnie did what he did because he had to. He'd go crazy if he was denied being in the gym throwing those weights around. Even his doctor said that lifting weights like he does isn't good for him but in another sense it is. It's what he does. I remember Arnold once commenting that there's more to life than just eating, sleeping and taking a crap. He could easily just kick back, bang hotties, go to fancy restaurants, travel, sleep in... but he doesn't. It's not in his nature.
