What does he have to explain to you. He asked a simple question, and then told you all you needed to know...that he is "feeling old". You're shifting the blame for you being rude. You jumped on him. I think it's really contemptible the way people behave in forums sometimes. As a rule, I try my best not to behave any differently in a forum than I would in real life.

Dead Lizard - Believe me, I appreciate your help. I am considering adjusting workout schedule accordingly. This site just has me SO confused. To much logic sometimes. Think I'll read the fight between Peedee and Jamoke. That usually settles me down.

Well... that is kinda hard for me because many people in my family are like 60 and they still do things normally. My grandfather is about 68 and he still walk, help people moving, and do other things and he is fine. Also my other grandfather is like little over 70 and he still shoots and hunting and stuff. So I get used to seeing old people being able to do things, so I thought he was talking about lifting weights and stuff but he don't want to really excrise or anythings.

and yes it is my fault... I know I misjudge things and assume it is something else.... that is one of my biggest problem in real life, but at least I have enough common sense to live to be old to admit I was wrong about a lot of things.

There are many misconceptions about weight training, one being that it that inhibits flexibility. This is a major misconception. If weight training is done properly through the full range of motion on the body part you are working out, it increases flexibility.

Another is that weight lifting is not an aerobic activity. When done properly, weight training is an aerobic activity. Spend less time resting between sets, 30 to 60 seconds, and the heart rate will reach aerobic levels. Always work to failure, not just a specific number of repetitions, and this will also add to the aerobic effect, as well as building strength.

Joint problems, on the other hand, are a problem. They are caused by not working up to the weight you train with properly. Just because a person can lift a certain weight does not mean that all of the tendons associated with the movement are capable of bearing the load without some injury. When the tendons cannot bear the load, the joints are overworked and injured because of changes in the kineseology of the movement.

Lastly, it is possible to increase strength with out increasing body mass to the size of a body builder. Being stronger is a plus in any physical activity, including Martail Arts.

Knowing it is not enough, we must apply.
Willing is not enough, we must do.

That was a really stand-up response FatalityDragon.

lol why would I care what other people thinks of me? I was trying to be nice and admit my mistake. If you want to put me down everytime then go ahead and see if I care. Everyone always try to put me down so I am used to it.

Um, I wasn't putting you down. I was recognizing the fact that you did the right and honorable thing. That's what "stand-up" means (outside of fighting). I do care what people think of me. It's the mirror of the self.

Ok... thank you... But why did you says it was stupid one? The reason I don't care if anyone put me down is because I have been through it so often (mainly because I am deaf and have interest into many things that many people thinks require hearring) that it become part of my every day life. By the way... I really admire and respect you, Wastrel

OMG I am so sorry.... for some reason I accidentally read "That was a really stupid stand up" Hmm... I better go see a eyes doctor or something because I have been reading things that doesn't exist lately. Could that be dyslexia?
