Fighting Age with Muscle...use it or lose it
We're all getting older in years,but you dont have to let your body's waste away.The body's efficiency tends to decline as we age,but if you push yourself hard enough in the gym,You Can LITERALLY STOP the process of aging.When the muscles are no longer used,they will slowly waste away!
A study was done with a group of men 50-65 years old.the men were put on a 16 week progressive resistance exercise program.
The program consisted of 14 exercise's,working all major muscle groups,One set of each exercise for 15 reps.3 days a week for 16 weeks.At the End of the program,Muscle strength INCREASED BY 40%! Not only did Stength go up But ALSO ADDED 5Lb's of weight by muscle mass.
Consider the fact that muscle mass Naturally starts to decline at around age 30,but by the age of 60 muscle mass has decreased by 20-30% mainly from the result of nonuse. But also your muscle fibers begin to shrink by as much as 24%! That sounds discouraging
but You can Prevent all this from Happening .
The one Solution is no further than the Gym! Hitting the Weight's with a serious attitude will not only help you with what you were born with,but Can give you MORE! Bodybuilding does seem to be able to turn back the clock! The intensity of lifting progressively heavy weights promotes type II muscle fibers which in turn Gives you Strength,better coordination,and fat loss.
So "dont go silently into the night".Instead come out fucken kicking and sreaming and to fight another Day!!!

these oils we older fellas use is kind of like glue for the body . It just kind of holds everything together > some of us more than others have lived a very hard physical life . Be it through sports fighting or injuries and there is quite simply nothing out there that helps to keep us going on a daily basis . Thank god for the holey oils and gh .

This is very true. What sucks is how fast it accelerates with each couple of years.
