I decided working out takes too much time and just bought a fancy car. Seems to take care of everything the gym did for me.

I had no symptoms of any heart issues until mine crapped out one day when I was 22. Was just lucky to survive. I don't know about the rest of what happened to him but with some heart disease it doesn't matter who your daddy is.

Khorne posted:

Nah, just needs some quads/thighs to begin with because there's no way in hell your balls should be out past your thigh unless you got like 12 inch balls or something. My deadlift lockout is well past the lower part of my balls, I get bruises on my thighs while deadlifting, and it has never hit my balls.

When I stand anywhere close to shoulder width apart my balls have nowhere to go but forward into danger territory.

For only $9.99 I can demonstrate this for you in a private show...

You forgot the key commandment of elderly gym use: Thou shalt not have a rom greater than 0.5 inches, even if you are guaranteed to have greater rom while doing things like walking or getting situated at the machine.

This one guy moves the weights in like 20 pico-reps a second through spasming oscillation.

The last gym I went to was in a more affluent area so all the old dudes were on roids and stronger and leaner than almost all of the young dudes.

Those aren't elderly people. They're just old. I know someone in his 60s who meets that description. Dude is loving jacked, and he trained natural for ages until he sold his business for the better part of 8 figures and then hopped on juice and lived a life of leisure and iron.

Most of those lifts in that video are incomplete ego lifts but I feel like a bounce rep of an 800lb deadlift is ok.

Because I enjoy a good quality life and feel it would be diminished greatly if I had to work that hard at something I have no interest in. Also the chances of that effort paying off are around 1:8,000,000,000.

Thirdly, I have access to a nice Case tractor and also an a-frame on wheels if I need to lift 800lbs.

this is very general advice but you absolutely should be progressively working most muscle groups across a spectrum of low/heavy weight (4-7 reps), medium/moderate weight (8-12 reps) and high/lightweight (15-25 reps) ranges.
