is it ever too late to begin lifting...?

[diamonddiceclay]

what is the age at which it is too late for someone to start lifting seriously and get excellent results? or is it never too late?

 

[Torch]

I personally think its never too late. Depending on your age and health condition, Please consult a doctor before you do any strenuous activity.

my 2 cents

 

[Weam]

I don't believe with the word, it's too late

look at Arnold, he's still training and big even at his 50th and Joe Weider still training and now he's over 70

 

[Snuka]

You lift weights to look, perform and feel better.
This can occur at any age.

However, if you are over 26 and have never lifted, you can forget about the Mr. Olympia contest.

Even if you don't grow to much the efect that it has on you mentally will be beneficial enouph!!!

I agree with Torch about consulting a doctor before starting any physical activity

 

[liquidanny]

its definitely NEVER to late to begin lifting....the race is only against yourself.....

yes, true, you will never get to Mr. Olympia status...but do you WANT to? My statements may be REALLY bold here and piss off some people...but I see people like Dorian dead by 55.

just my two cents......

there is a 65 yearl old guy in the gym that juices and looks better than a lot of the younger guys, so I think it depends on one's health.

The age you decide to give up and become old...I've seen older guys get in great shape in a matter of years...And thanks to modern day science even faster than that

 

[MikeyLikesJuice]

well my grandma is 98 years old, and squats 525, so I would say 105

what is the age at which it is too late for someone to start lifting seriously and get excellent results? or is it never too late?

The day after you Die

 

[musclebrains]

And what is the age you're too old to do cycles?

its never to late

but dont wait until your old and have lost all your marbles to start

all you will do is scare the other members of the gym.

I don't think it is ever too late to supplement your test levels-in fact it may improve quality of life and diminish the ever controversial "male menopause".

As far as weight training, again it is never to late. In studies, relative strength gains (by percentage) actually improve more the first month in elderly adults that have never weight trained, than they do in a younger population.

 

[barbells79]

i agree with tombstone
i think that supplementing with smaller amounts of testosterone would probably improve quality of life. along with a little exercise this would work well..........

You can start at any age. I have guys at my gym who are lifting hard and look great, some are even 60+ and goin strong.
