Oh yes I do, you’re on the wrong side this time. Eat it…….and I never mentioned steroids , GH, or insulin, you did, and Olympic lifters are in that same group. The research is there.

You brought up professional bodybuilders. They're all on anabolic steroids and things like HGH, insulin, and other compounds. I said nothing about professional bodybuilders, Olympic weightlifters, powerlifters, or professional strongmen.

I'll say it again for the third time because it's so important. Resistance training/weightlifting is the most important exercise you can do as you age.

You have no clue what you're talking about and your message is harmful. Anyone who doesn't already know about the benefits of resistance training/weight training as we age needs to do the research for themselves and needs to pick up some weights and use some machines.

I’m not talking about Ronnie Coleman, whoever he is, or NFL foot players. I’m talking about the average population. You and the op can only bring up steroids, HGH, and god knows what else. I feel sorry for you because you don’t have a clue as to how wrong you are:

You're the one who brought up professional bodybuilders guy.

Still waiting on a single piece of real evidence.

I mentioned Olympic lifters also. Just pick two professional sports, say baseball and basketball. Which sport emphasizes hitting the weight room? Why do former NBA players have an average lifespan of 82 years, when former NFL players have an average lifespan of 59 years? Running is good for you, lifting weights not so much.

Keep doing those bench presses and one day you’ll stop waiting.

Resistance training is only good for you if you’re under 30, and really bad for you if you’re over 40, give or take.

This is a mind-bendingly bad take. I don't care what you do in your personal life, but I hope no one who is reading this takes you at your word here. It's crazy that you continue to double and triple down on it.

Great point. It's too bad that there's nothing about the nature of NFL football versus NBA basketball that might explain this. It must be the fact that NFL players life weights and . . . . what? NBA players don't? I'm sure it has nothing to do with the effects of running into human missiles 50 times a game for years.

My buddy was an NFL lineman for 6 years. I'm thinking the decade of debilitating headaches he's suffered from must be because of all that damned bench pressing. If only he'd known to stay away from the weights.

It depends on your age I’m in my 80’s
I’m a huge believer in walking
and I still do between 300,,000-350,000 steps every month ..
There comes a point in your age where riunning can do more harm than good as it eventually can take a toll on your knees.
I also believe in strength training with light weights as you naturally weaken with age and it slows the process. Balance and Flexibility are also important.
I think the two critical things about maintaining your energy as you age are keeping active .and keeping your weight down .

I live in and active adult community the couple across the street are in the 90’s a still walk a mile every morning
But we have swimmers , golfers , Pickleball , players, serious walkers , and simply dog walkers all over .80 . Just keep moving

Been running for a long time - made the transition from the heel to toe to mid point strike, game changer. More stress on the calf as they act as shock absorbers, but much less impact heel through knees through hips. Put the stress on the soft tissue not the joints. Have had zero issues.

Attia also talks about needs impact exercises like box jumps as they promote bone density. Running satisfies bit of this.

It sounds like you’re assuming that resistance training must mean maxing out with weights, in which case you would have a point. But, of course, lifting weights can be done at low intensity too. I’m giving you an off ramp here, and you’d be wise to take it…

Bodybuilding is harmful, weightlifting is not. Strength is good, bulk is bad -- bulk indicates muscle injury. The healthiest muscles are wiry, with a high ratio of strength to size. The heart is a muscle, and bulky muscles tend to be associated with cardiomegaly and a high risk of heart disease.

In general endurance/cardio sports lead to longer lifespans than weightlifting/power sports. For example, Survival of the fittest: retrospective cohort study of the longevity of Olympic medallists in the modern era - PubMed, "Medallists in endurance sports and mixed sports had a larger survival advantage over controls at 30 years (1.13, 1.09 to 1.17; 1.11, 1.09 to 1.13) than that of medallists in power sports (1.05, 1.01 to 1.08)."

Actually you said the only purpose of light or moderate resistance training is to stave off brittle bones. More crap with no basis in fact.

Lol. Professional bodybuilders have an average mean lifespan of 47.7 years. Look it up genius. Weightlifting is ok while your body is growing but it’s bad for the cardiovascular system as you get older and graye

Resistance training is only good for you if you’re under 30, and really bad for you if you’re over 40, give or take. Cardio (running, swimming, stairs) is good for you no matter what age you’re at. The reason is you’re working your cardiovascular system with volume work, basically training your heart to pump more blood per beat, but with resistance training (pressure work), everything is contracting (and raising blood pressure) to move some heavy weights, instead of moving your own two feet, or if you’re swimming and you’re buoyant. Light and moderate resistance training is OK if all you’re trying to do is staving off brittle bones as you age.

You're either trolling or you're an idiot.

I believe this to be true and some weight resistance in workouts are being touted as beneficial to maintain muscle mass and bones. It’s never to late to incorporate it but older people should get clearance from their doctors as to how much and what to do.
