Good work, bro. I'll have to show this to a buddy of mine who has been bitching about being too old even before he got into his forties.

Ron;I enjoyed your article.I am 57 years old and in better shape than ever.I have been told for a long time that i am to old to pump iron,but I have always been hard headed.I have also been told a lot lately that a man my age cannot put on much muscle(WRONG) i was impressed with your explaination about a slower matabolism aiding in gains.I have put on 14 pounds of lean mass in just over two years.I wiil not stop working out till I'm gone.Keep up the good work and believe that your'e never to old unless you think you are!!

I also enjoyed your article, Ron. I am a 42 yo woman who only started working out 6 months ago. I've made some pretty good progress, in fact I hit my goal weight this week and I am slim with good muscle tone. I look and feel better than I have in 20 years!

I too thought I was too old to do anything new like weight training, I'm so glad I didn't listen to myself; onward and upward!lol

I'm almost 39 years old and started serious bodybuilding only seven months back. You won't believe the endless questions, negativity and criticism during my successive phases of fat-reduction and bodybuilding during this period.
People look askance as to my motivation and cause of starting this late. Some ask whether I'm ill upon looking at my much-reduced facial fat (my profession doesn't allow exhibition of the body as such - I'm a practising advocate, you see!). The responses are varied.
But my wife and family, though initially worried, are very supportive and people who've ever been to the gym are now beginning to appreciate the changes in my body.
The experience is splendid. The sheer health and improvement are sufficient motivations to maintain my iron will.
I couldn't help but join in to your thread, 'coz I found resonance of my own feelings in your words. Thanks for starting the thread... and best of luck in your endeavours.

Sorry to butt in off topic and all, but I thought you were Ron White the comedian for a second
