Godt nyttår alle sammen!
Dette innlegget har jeg sakset fra et annet forum (T-nation). Ettersom jeg selv begynner å dra på åra (36 år), ble jeg meget motivert og glad når jeg leste tråden: Her er innlegget: (link finner du nederst i innlegget).
I'm 47 nearly 48 and I have been told as recently as yesterday that I look like I'm 30. I train hard with weights 5 days a week. I don't play the; I'm too old for that BS. I train as hard as or harder than anyone in the Gold?s Gym I belong too. I might be getting older but refuse to accept being old as a consequence.
What inspired me was 2 yrs ago while I was training at a different time than my usual I ran into an older guy who looked great. We started chatting. I had him pegged for maybe 55 or so only because of a few wrinkles and all grey. However he was built like a gladiator.
As our conversation went on he asked me how old I was. I proudly said," not bad for an old man of 45". He asked me how old I thought he was. I hate to answer that question. Well at least this time it wasn't being asked by a woman. I said I don't know maybe mid to possibly late 50s. He smiled a huge smile and said, "Thanks son, but I'm 76". I was stunned to say the least. He told me he trains 5 days a week in the gym and plays on an over 70 softball league everyday as well. He told me that physical activity is the fountain of youth.
I have since internalized what he told me and I am inspired everyday because of him.
I feel better today than I did 25 years ago. I've cleaned up my eating and train hard when I go to the gym. My motto is train hard or stay home. I'm 5' 9", 195 lbs. less than 10% body fat, my arms flexed and cold are 17 1/4", my chest is 48", my waist is 31", my thighs are 26". I bench over 350, squat over 400, curl over 150 on barbell curls. I am completely drug free. I only supplement with protein and creatine. Not too shabby for anyone, much less a guy gaining on 50.
So don't let anyone tell you that you're too old to train for size and strength.
I hope this helps you. Don't let anyone steal your dreams.
