71 years old and still enjoy lifting weights! Currently doing the classic push-pull-legs routine with at least a day of rest in-between. Learned a ton from Starting Strength. Get Rippetoe's books!

Strength is great. Its sad how many guys my age obsess over having abs instead of getting stronger...

[@asdf-oq4zr]

Id been lifting weights for decades but starting strength really saved me from myself once i got into my 30s and saw my gains begin to drop off. I didnt understand why my (frankly insane) self-designed programs were no longer producing results. I was getting steadily weaker and the injuries began to accumulate the more i tried to fight against my declining strength. SS was exactly the reset and reality check i needed. Im still not as strong as i was at 28 but thats ok. Im healthy, my joints feel good, and im making long-term steady gains again. Big thanks to all at SS.

Free Weight Training. The most well-kept secret fountain of youth. You can start at any age. You can turn back the clock.

[@constablekohler]

Where'd you get the free weights? Mine were expensive

[@dasdguy7606]

At 38 I just hit 240lb squat. Strongest I've ever been approx 2 months into SS

Hey Tom! Great work my friend! Keep it up!

[@sunbeamcostrength]

Hey buddy, keep at it! I'm maybe an age class below you in powerlifting and a weight class or two higher, (I'm M2a, 125kg) and I agree 110% that showing up is winning at this stage in my hobby career as a competitive powerlifter.

[@oldnatty61]

Strength training is no more the exercise for longevity then endurance training is. They sit on opposite ends of the strength and conditioning continuum. The best exercise for longevity is in the middle of the continuum.

[@westinghouseforever]

First. Great channel.

[@sata1938]

Idk man, the Japanese seem to live over 100 regularly and they don’t really prioritize strength and size. Seems like they just walk a lot and eat clean and in moderate amounts.

[@dasdguy7606]

Diet/Nutrition is just as important.

[@VayaconDios018]

Because we are using TRT?

[@DPB85]

You are? Where do you get yours. I think my levels are low. Considering some men in their 80s have level of 800ng/dL I think a healthy male should be well north of 500. But what do I know? I’m a youtube commenter…like you.

@@DPB85 im 44 got a stiff morning wood every day (I'm avoiding processed foods). I'm in Serbia, you can get here Galenika's testosteron ampule very cheap in every farmacy without prescription. I have never used it. Waiting to be a father and then I'll go at it.
