Psychologist TV and radio host Dr. Ray Guarendi said he keeps up with his regular weight training now in his 50’s.
But he said he and his buddies used to push each other to add plates.

“In the old days I could add a plate and match them all. Now the only place I add plates is the all you can eat buffets.”
