Same here, lifting since 16 and now I’m 49. I look a lot younger than I am and I wake up every day feeling amazing. I tell all my friends who moan about the ravages of aging to start lifting weights. They agree they should do it but nothing ever comes of it. They have no problem lifting beers and pizza though. Old habits die hard I guess!

Fantastic! Congratulations on a lifetime of work and discipline! I completely understand all that you said. I see that too with my female friends even at the gym. They do their cardio and go home and everything pretty much sags and they say it is just their genetics. Ugh! They have no interest in resistance training.

To each their own I guess. I took sometime off during Covid and my body ached everywhere from sitting and lying down all the time and when I exercised without resistance training I became injured much easier. It really reinforced the commitment to training ;D.

So great to hear your experience. Thanks!

And most often before their time, in misery.
