      I just have to say how good it feels to be by far the oldest guy in the whole damn gym and be by far the biggest and most ripped dude in the whole place. Thats pretty much any gym I go to. And Im not even where I plan to be this summer. Not bragging , just sayin. You guys know the feeling Im talking about.

      So anyway, Ive never given my age on this site in the whole 10 years or so. Well, I turn 60 on sunday man. I cant tell you how good it feels. Thank god for working out. The greatest fountain of youth man has ever invented. I can run sprints, jump, play basketball, play football, I can deadlift 600 lbs. Im a lean 225 lbs right now. The big Six Ohhh! I crack up watching people almost fall over when I tell them my age. I guess maybe I can tell my story to motivate younger people to keep on training and dont stop. Im so glad I never sat on my ass. I have a brother who is 70 and hes working too, cranks out 15 pullups and people are freaking out over him. Seeing him inspires me to keep going like this. I hope I can inspire people like that.

      Nice story, and thanks for sharing. I think entering a new decade tends to hit is on where we are at now, and reflect on things. I bet you inpsre many of those people at the gym especially after you tell them how old you are? A little boost to the EGO is always a good feeling. Keep shinin Dzone

      Let me clarify one thing. I surely dont think that at 225 Im going to be the biggest dude in any gym I walk into LOL I should have said the gyms I go to. I mean, there are gyms around here where I would definitely look like a pipsqueek compared to the guys training there. Im sure there are guys on this site much bigger and stronger than me. But at 60, Im feeling pretty good.

      You are the same age as my father Dzone and he aint deadlifting 600 lbs lol. To be fair, and I don't mean this in a negative way, his chosen life path didn't take him thru the weight room.

      Regardless Dzone thats friggin awesome. I hope to still be lifting hard at 60 : )

      Wow that's some great news to hear ! I'm definitely going to kill it today ! I thought I was the oldest one here at 51 ? This is one of the reasons I'm still checking in on here still, allways something to keep my head up. something inspirational or a good laugh guaranteed here allways ! It is a great feeling and something to be very proud of D, I see people on a daily basis who are way younger whom I covet. But ya know what ? at least we have our health and fitness right ? Kinda' like having all the cool things too right ? I just want you to know D that lil post really helped me this morning. I was just thinkin' as I woke "why do I bother doing this everyday?" I'm not chasing tail anymore or hanging with any friends. Like I'm loosing my motivation lately,.. but then I keep reminding myself "I do this for me !!" because it makes me feel good, and I like the progress I see in the mirror. I am an asset and not a liability to what's left of my family and others. Despite all the bulls#it at our age,.. It's like a lil ace card up your sleeve huh ? I know it's just a post but D, lil stuff like hearing that jus sets me on fire again with the passion ! Thank You for the post, best wishes and be Blessed this weekend my Brother ! Now time to get out and set some more examples damnit !!!
      Leaders did what others weren't willing to do, now they enjoy the things that others do not.
