Being 67 and having some arthritis setting in has a lot to do with it.
Did a whole lot more just 10 years ago to keep my weight down and didn't worry about diet.
Lumbar trouble, knee trouble, rotator cuff trouble on right arm, probably lucky I can still do what I do.
All those little things you were able to *walk off* when you were younger do come back to bite you in the a$$ when you get older.
You get limitations as you get older, chin ups and pull ups are great, but you best not have arthritis starting in your knuckles.
Doing curls don't bother them, yet.

Keep it up. I'm 55 myself. I work out 4 times a week at 5:00 AM and there's is a 69 year old there at the gym who works as hard as anyone there. But you are right, it's the joints that give out on you. I have to work around tendonitis in my elbow and sometimes a little knee soreness. I have the heart and muscle of a 29 year old but my joints are every bit of 55. LOL.
