When are you too old to be lifting and when does it become a health liability? Not considering wear and tear on the cartilage and joints. The fact of the matter is is that it will raise your blood pressure, and heart rate. It makes you vulnerable to the stroke or heart attack. And damages your organs.How's life long weight lifting any different than some fuck head who's been working construction or some other shit job for 30 years and now can barely walk?
>The fact of the matter is is that it will raise your blood pressure, and heart rateWhete did you even get such bs? If you aren't doing roids or aren't severily deficient in basic micronutrient, it won't do any of that. East some arugula if you are paranoid about hbp that much.
>>77248671Never. You just change how you do it, lower frequency higher intensity is highly beneficial for seniors even those with heart conditions. You just don't have them doing deadlifts or squats.
>>77248671You live in the car yeah? Anyhow, you have incredible bone structure, almost like the dude from ash vs the evil dead.You are one of my favorite recurring/fit/ characters
>>77248671I don't give a fuck
>>77248671>When are you too old to be liftingThe day after you die, faggot.
>>77248671Are the onty 2 exercises you know deadlifts and squats?
>>77248671It's not a matter of age, just capability. If you're 75, life has been good to you, and lifting weights still makes you feel great, no reason to stop.If lifting is starting to cause more detriments than benefits, time to stop, or at least decrease the weight.But don't stop just because a certain amount of time has passed since you were born. That's silly.
>>77248671>When are you too old to be lifting and when does it become a health liability?Never.>Not considering wear and tear on the cartilage and joints.This is only a concern when you're doing retarded exercises with retarded weights and retarded form. Your cartilage and joints have relatively few blood vessels supplying them, which makes them slow to regenerate. Activity stimulates blood flow to them, making it a net benefit. The trick is to, again, not go overboard to the point where the improved flow is overshadowed by how much wear you're inflicting.>The fact of the matter is is that it will raise your blood pressure, and heart rate.Temporarily. Cardivascular issues aren't caused by physiological spikes, they're caused by long term pathological levels. Weightlifting appears to normalize BP long term according to studies.>It makes you vulnerable to the stroke or heart attack.Both of these require sufficent plaque buildup, which again happens through long term high BP, not occasional spikes.>And damages your organs.It doesn't damage anything other than micro-tears in muscle tissue.>How's life long weight lifting any different than some fuck head who's been working construction or some other shit job for 30 years and now can barely walk?Weightlitfting involves controlled movements in a controlled environment with proper form and adjustable weight that is shaped properly, with freely chosen frequency and rest periods.Being a construction wagie involves carrying whatever heavy shit that needs to be carried to get the job done, at whatever weird angle its weird shape requires, with no control over how much shit needs to be carried or how much rest you need (your boss will start yelling or your fellow coworkers will start giving you shit for not working if you rest too much), 5 days a week for hours, and eating a steady diet of gas station hotdogs because you're too tired to cook yourself and your bitch of a fat wife that is in your league sucks at it.
>>77248671Life after 30 is a slow-motion suicide without family. It's all the negatives of getting old; watching your friends drift away as they start their own families, your parents and siblings getting old and die, watching everything in your life slowly putter out as the magic fades; without any of the positives of things like family or community to shore you up. Everything rots away and you're left with the bleakness of oblivion, no hope of anything continuing. Anyone who has experienced considerable ageing among his family members (or already in himself), knows how blackpilling it is. It's really rough, once people pass their early 50s (or sometimes even sooner) you start to notice the slip-ups, forgetfulness, the declining of fine motor skills, the difficulties understanding new information. Human existence is a tragedy, there are so few years that you are allowed with full mental and physical strength. Your peak years are mostly wasted with education, where you have barely any control over your own life, because you have little to no money nor autonomy. Add to that the time spent sleeping, working, hygiene, housework, shopping, appointments, visits to the workshop - what do we have left? Everyone who has to work for a living basically leads a precarious existence, regardless of whether they are a simple worker or a well-paid employee. Before they have built up a comfortable fortune and a well established understanding of the world, the body goes downhill.
