Wow, that's an… interesting comment. Less so because of the content, and more so because (a) it's the most weirdly formatted one I've ever seen, and (b) it's attached to a post that has nothing to do with lifting.

Are you sure you meant to post it here?

You will lose your gains. You.Will Lose.Your.Gains.

You'll get older, you'll have different priorities, you'll be overcome by events.

I looked like that dude in the planet fitness video, only shorter. I was a shrek. I could do my weight in squats – 3X 275 x 10 reps x 3. I could deadlift at least 300. Bench was my weakness – maybe 175, 30 reps. I was 51 years old.

Then I got cancer.

After treatment, when I could function again, I went back to the gym – 20 mins warm up on the elliptical nearly killed me. I tried curling girl weights – 10 lbs – and I suffered, sweating like a pig. I could barely squat the bar. When I tried a measly 90 lbs bench, I looked like one of your gym fuckery videos and dropped the weights. Forget dead lift.

It took two months to obliterate my gains. It took maybe three to get back 3/4 where I hit the wall – all those muscles used for stability were gone. Try as I may, It's not coming back. I literally am doing convict conditioning to start all over. If I have time.

Fact of the matter is , I'm 56. My old man, his dad, and my great grandfather all died at 65. Realistically, I got 9 years. Do you know how many dudes I know, my age, died in great condition?

More than a few.

Time is short. I make money. I work on my spirituality (I'm a devout catholic), I do charity work.

Being a beast won't save me.

As an aside, the two big male cancers at my Oncologists and Radiologists place are prostate and throat. My radiologist has given talks and papers on these male diseases. No one could give a shit. Throat cancer is growing in males 45-60, caused by all things – HPV.
