I find the pain a great motivator. I’m 20 years older than the oldest person I see at my gym. My hands and fingers hurt like hell. I have pinched nerves in my shoulders and my knees hurt bad enough to wake me up at night but I can’t imagine not lifting weights 4-5 times a week. The lifting routine gets into your system so I think the natural state of human beings is to be working not sitting down

“The lifting routine gets into your system “

Weight training is the fountain of youth.

There is some pain that you can't work through. After running 10K every other day for 35 years I've gotten a bad knee injury. So I immediately switched to swimming using my other three limbs. I'm up to a mile every other day.
