[QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 5279438, member: 10"]
I'm 60 and I also ask myself why I still work out with heavy weights. But I've been lifting since I was 18 so it's hard to stop. I had a herniated disk between C6 and C7 12 years ago that made my tricep and chest on the left side atrophy. Took me years to get those muscles to even 80% of the right side. My right arm is about 1" bigger than my left and doctors say those muscles on the left will never come back to being equal to the right. It's hard to bench now because of that so I use dumbbells most of the time but still like to bench once in a while to see where I am at.

I keep promising myself that at some point I'm going to do other exercises and not lift heavy weights. But I might be that 70 year old guy at the gym tossing weights around while the guys in their early 20s are looking at me like, "What is that old guy doing?" Because when I was in my early 20s that is what I was saying. Actually at 60 the kids are probably saying that about me now!
