You cant lift away time. All your hard work in the gym will be for nothing when you age, just think of all that time wasted on your self when you could have been living life.

Saying you should not do something because you're going to not be able to do it one day might have been a valid point if you did not include a man who has statues made of him because of his accomplishments.
>>35632585
>we're all going to die, so why waste time living?
Great idea fagtron, please kill yourself.
Also:
>implying lifting isn't living life
If I wasn't lifting I'd be playing vidya or watching Netflix
>>35632585
Every single person who has said that to me watches 5+ hrs of TV a day and is over weight.
>>35634368
This. And you can work out while consuming shit like TV and books (if you don't mind audiobooks). I don't get people who think they need to just sit down and do nothing.
52 here
been active all my life.. now when I lift musles stay sore for days... can't load as much weight as I always had especially working legs due to knees feeling like they could explode any moment.
enjoy it while you can and being fit when you're older has great benefits as you can imagine...
so get a head start or it and if you're a fat-fuck think about you Pallbearers...
>>35632585
when you are old you will regret not getting fit now, dumbass.
is there any better goal than self improvement?
op: btfo
>>35632585
Fitness is a part of general self-improvement/striving to be the best version of yourself that you can be. Obviously /r9k/-tiered individuals that are /fit/ are going to still have a bad go of life but even then, maybe they at least won't feel as self-conscious as they would have being overweight Furthermore, being in shape gives you self-confidence that can inspire you to go out and approach people/network/date.

How does a 52 year old end up on 4chins. I'm actually curious
Also body pic?
Exercising while young will result in better health when you're older. You'll be able to do exiting things for longer. Retirement will be much more enjoyable. So no, lifting is not pointless in the long run. It's the very opposite.
That's not even counting the extra experiences being fit opens up while you're still young.

My dad's about your age, when we lift together he complains about some joint pain during certain exercises, generally places where he injured himself when he was a young man. He used to lift babby weight on squats and deadlifts, he was 100% convinced it would fuck up his back (he's always had a bad back). I finally convinced him a year or so ago to do DL and squats and he does them but he won't listen to me about 5x5, he does like fucking 5 sets of 12.
He went to this low T center and got a prescription for test. He started running and within a year he went from fat beer gut looking old guy to a pretty in shape old guy
Being fat ages you like 500% more, his friends who are like 30%-40% fat have health problems and his friends who are younger than him but fatter than him look his age. Running and cardio will keep you alive. Test will do that also.
He also takes a fuckload of supplements but I think 90% of them are placebo
>>35632585
I train 3 days a week for 14 weeks in the Fall/early Winter and 1 day a week the rest of the year while I'm training on my bike for road racing all year 'round, I *am* 'living my life', so fuck you.

After my wife died I had a lot of spare time on my hands and started searching for really obscure pornography, eventuallu I ended up here and now I spend most of my time downloading images of transexuals.

This is such a meme. They're reversing aging with fucking protein. Eat big to get big.
>>35634826
Also, I feel like it's only fair to bring up the idea of antioxidants. Protein and just about everything else oxidizes, and cloves are OP.
>>35634784
>/fit/
so how did you do it? rat poison?
>>35634826
>Eat big to live big
you had one job

I have started taking Horsetail powder which is high in Silica and supposed to sourish connective tissues..
I have felt some improvement but its not yet letting me for instance to leg extensions with enough weight to build much on the quads so this worries me ..
I hate seeing what were once decent quads wasting away..
>>35634847
Is that a quote?
I'm pretty sure it's not, and I'm not impressed.
>>35634850
DON'T DO LEG EXTENSIONS
They were fucking up my dad's knees too, they are bad for you, bro
I know that sounds like broscience, but look it up. They will fuck your knees up. Stick to dumbbells and barbells when you can. You're no spring chicken anymore, you need to educate yourself on exercises before you start doing them. Also don't be one of those old farts who lifts with shitty form. There's this old fat guy at my gym who bounces the barbell off his chest during bench press and he does like 1/4 squats, but he does 300-400 pounds when he lifts.
Young guys can afford to do diddlylifts and squats and bench with shit form but older guys can't. Personally I would ask a doctor about which supplements to take, I think anything more than fish oil and vitamin D is overkill personally.

I tried several bottles of Niagen (Nicotinamide Riboside) then switched to just plain Niacin full flush which gives me some of the NAD substrates.
I have been taking Leucine + Carnosine + Citruline/Malate2;1+ Green Tea extract + Pterostilbene + Magnesium Glycinate + Taurine + ALCAR for a while try to incorporate some IF/Keto (HighFat cycling) Lifting fasted cardio with Yohimbine HCL to get at some resistant fat.
I crave cold water too.. cold showers daily.. swim in the NH Coastal Ocean water even as low as 50F.. hike in the mountains when I have time.. I can't however feel safe lifting at levels I;d like to to add more muscle
I am keeping at it but just saying its pretty much a bummer when you feel these things ..
>>35634897
I eat about a tin of sardines a day.. so I get the DHA there.
I will take it easy on the leg extensions. that crunching sound coming from my knees is hella scary..lol.. maybe get myself a ten speed
>>35634938
Seriously get on test if you can, even old businessmen cycle
>>35634955
I've tried things like DHEA Pregnenolone and believe it or not juicing raw onions... try drinking the juice of a raw onion someday...
I'll have to see an MD someday .. last time was..... 1990?
I don't exercise to have something later, I do it because it's fucking fun. You'd know that if you'd ever done it ever in your life ever.
No, your time is better spent shitposting here in a bid to assuage your well-earned malaise in between shitposting on /a/ or /v/ or wherever. No doubt. Stay the course, friend.

This made me laugh more then it should.
