My dad asked me if I could show him how to do some exercises at the gym. I've been lifting for two years, so I have some experience, but definitely don't know everything there is to know about strength training, dieting, etc.
What to do I have to be aware of when training an older person? Basically, what differences are there between a 70 year old man and a 20 year old man when it comes to how to effectively, and safely, build muscle and strength?
I was thinking of having him do compound movements with higher reps and lower weight for a month or two...

I was thinking of adding in some arm work for him after the first few weeks, and then possibly teaching him how to squat. I'm more hesitant to get him going with deadlifts though. I don't want him to have a fucking stroke or something while straining and holding his breathe on heavy deads. Are deadlifts safe for a 70 year old, or should I have him do something else? The deadlifts would mainly be for strengthening his spinal erectors.
I would also appreciate it if anyone shared resources which talk about resistance training at an old age.
I would ask a professional over /fit/. Even if you get some anecdotal advice, I think you're at risk of destroying your dad's body with heavy lifting
ITT: We post media that gives you body dysmorphia.

Hello /fit/, I come to you with a fairly unique experience which most of you likely won't believe and I'd wager none of you could empathize with, but which represents a personal milestone and the washing away of a long-standing psychological burden.
I am a 26 year old virgin. That's not the surprising part; I'm sure there are plenty of peer aged people on this website (or wizards of higher mastery levels) who know that feel. There's plenty of threads a day about that subject and people here are far more likely to question another anon ever having...

At that point, it just felt weird trying. I don't know what it was, but I just couldn't connect with myself. Despite the fact that pornography would arouse me (and I had the usual classroom boners going through puberty) something about self-gratification kept eluding me. Before today, the last time I'd even attempted it was sophomore year of college.
As the years have gone on, and I've continued to go without intercourse, my inability to please myself has became an annoyance and eventually...

(Thank God for anonymity, because I have to explain this to somebody, anybody.)
I woke up this morning at 5:30, waking from a wet dream. These have come - get it? - in cycles every couple of weeks since I was about 15, used to be one night and then a gap now it usually happens 2 - 3 nights in a row. I couldn't fall back asleep and after about half an hour, I started dicking around on my phone.
I ended up on myfreecams (as I often do) to see who was on (I've never paid a cent for these...
