Think about your fondest memories....always with someone else.

Keep interacting. Keep creating new good memories. It's up to you.

Some of my fondest memories involve only myself & a mirror.

It looked like someone else was in the room.

'Working out' is not necessarily natural. For some it's just a habit or an addiction. As you have noted, you are actually harming yourself with repetitive exercise.

I'm not mocking when I state this. I used to be a 120 pull up guy. Would not let go of the bar until I reached that goal. Full length, rather than just throwing myself up. At some point, I began to feel a twinge, but I would ignore it. Pain was for weaklings. There was times when inside the pain would take my breath away, but I continued on anyway.

Squats similarly. Though no issues with pain. I didn't see anyone in the gyms who could do what I did. I write this not to boast, but to illustrate that I know what I'm writing about when it comes to that kind of training.

Most guys train like Frankenstein's monster. Body parts rather than as a whole. Eventually the whole thing comes crashing down. It's mind over matter, not matter over mind.

Can you use your hands?

If you can, at least start out using your hands. Work your yourself, if possible, up to holding your hands next to your chest and lifting off with both feet. I've got friends from high school I see who not only cannot get up from the floor (even with hands), they can't get down on the floor. If something happens and they are set out on the ground or the floor, they are stranded. Leg and lower torso strength are hard to maintain as you age, and they are probably the most important things to work on if you want to remain mobile and independent.

Exercise is a natural and necessary part of life if you want health benefits. Repetitive lifting is what gives results. Lifting weights is the best form of total body exercise anyone can do.

Working out like I did wasn't necessary as I was not only bodybuilding but lifting very heavy weights, more than most of the lifters there in total and many were doing drugs. I could have easily competed but it wasn't what I eventually did. I didn't have to use such weights for health and strength benefits but did anyway as I was thinking about that competing, and you can't compete unless you get into that less than 1% of the population. Less than 5% lifts weights consistently worldwide anyway.

Bodybuilding is training all of the body parts, although some neglect their legs, which is a mistake as it affects the whole body's strength and progress.

In all the 50 years I trained and trained others, most of the men and women who were serious worked out the whole body, and this was thousands of members. The beginners trained body parts they wanted to show off, like arms and chest, but that doesn't help the whole picture.

Yes, I saw what you wrote.".For some it's just a habit or an addiction. As you have noted, you are actually harming yourself with repetitive exercise.

I'm not mocking when I state this"...............Of course you were mocking, as that's how you operate, somehow thinking people here can't see through what you do. Thinking I hurt myself by lifting repetitively, when it had nothing to do with repetitions but how much weight I lifted for how long. Thinking if I worked out "right", i wouldn't have the injuries I have to my knees and shoulders.

Well, most, or actually all people at 69 have injuries anyway, and most haven't lifted for 50 years like I have, so even if I do have some minor injuries for my age, I'm still way ahead of the game seeing i did work out all those years, whereas many don't, and still have those age related injuries.

I do know what's best for the body, as this has been my passion for those 50 years, and I helped thousands along the way improve their bodies and health, and will continue to do so as long as I live.

Let's say there are two kinds of people in this world.

Those who know nothing, but who think they know it all better than anyone else and those who know nothing, admit they know nothing but are open to growth and learning.

The people worthy of admiration are the ones who humbly admit to knowing nothing.

In your case you assume you know it better, but reality shows you repeating the same mistakes. No need to become 'offended'. Just think about whether you would agree with what I have written if it were not directed at you.

Let me correct this for you , once again. There are not only two kinds of people in the world but many personality types.

Some know a lot about certain things. Some know a lot about many things. Some know a little about many things. Some know very little about anything. And some, who have a modicum of intelligence, think they know all about someone from an online forum, and state their inadequate opinions to make themselves feel superior. Guess which one you are.

I don't assume, but you do this by nature. When someone does something for 50 years, yes , they do know quite a lot about it, especially when it's not done as something to make money on but as a passion. I trained thousands of people, and learned as much as I could about weight training, bodybuilding and the necessary healthy lifestyle you needed to follow to look and do your best.

I did this also with psychology, music and hunting and fishing, so I could know as much about those subjects to be good at them and hopefully to live a healthy lifestyle as long as possible and pass that onto my children, as they do much the same.

I've never looked for admiration but get it because I do things for others, which is the right way to receive it.

How am I repeating the same mistakes besides picking a couple of the wrong women to have children with? You know nothing else about my life besides what I've stated here, and you still keep going on like I've been the guilty party, which is still the same assumption you've tried using all along.

Try not to reply, even though with your character, you'll likely come back and say much the same thing you always have for the last couple of years, in all your personalities.

Of course there are people who know more about things than I, but you haven't proven that point here, as your knowledge on exercise and healthy eating is limited. This is the main reason you don't need to comment on me, as you haven't a clue. What I said earlier was all true. You tried adding a veiled insult, which is you personified, yet you keep forgetting who you're talking to here.

Vain is hardly what I am, so that's yet another assumption. Maybe try reading more and replying less, as it's all been the same all along from you.

All knowledge is limited. Some are experts in one field and have no knowledge in others. You comment on a reply I've made, then add an insult, then eventually say about "all" the mistakes I've made, when I'm the one who listed the ones I did about choosing the wrong partners to have children with, which I owned, and which has nothing to do with this topic anyway.

Taking that further isn't any of your business as yes, you haven't a clue.

A person that says what you did about repetitive movements making injuries, even assuming it does, doesn't know much about training.I didn't say anything about your eating habits, as I wouldn't assume anything and only comment on things mentioned.

No, I'm not vain. I could have competed in bodybuilding and powerlifting yet didn't.

That's fine. Let's start from there. You admitting that you have made mistakes.

Is it possible that you are making a mistake by not listening, but simply arguing that you know more and better than me?

What makes you think I would listen to any of your advice , after pointing out exactly what type of character you are? This all along, with all your other usernames. I'm not arguing that I know more than you about the body and health. I simply do. It doesn't take but a few wrong replies from someone to see what little they know about something, especially if it's the basics.

That you try and psychoanalyze someone who's spent decades learning about your type is amusing in the least, annoying in it's worst form.

Let me ask you a few questions, although you have circumvented this many times before, with me and others here, who you also act much the same with.

Seeing you have an 11 year relationship with a live in girlfriend, why do you come back often, saying your "women" pay your way most of the time? This not only makes you a cheapskate but a cheater.

How old are you and how are you staying in Thailand, seeing you've mentioned nothing about being a retired expat but younger than most here? You said you got "rid" of your last girlfriend, leaving her behind in the UK, so did you move here with your new girlfriend from the UK and why Thailand? I'm sure some couples move to Thailand but it's usually older ones who's children are all grown and out and they want a warm place to live quiet.

A lot taking place in your head. Everything other than trying to understand what I was saying in the first place. Perhaps because you assumed that it was all about you.

In fact, I have a friend, a former sportsman turned bodybuilder with similar injuries to those you describe, but who simply could not modify his behaviour. Wanted to travel to other places, but couldn't unless he knew there was a suitable gym there. If not, could not travel for more than three days. Understood that it was an addiction that he could not escape, even though he was damaging himself.

I don't need to go into much more at this stage. Point being to demonstrate that I have some experience with these things. But it seems that you prefer to argue, rather than to listen.

You don't learn because you have convinced yourself that you know it better. Perhaps because you have some bee in your bonnet about being shown to have been wrong. Who cares about that, especially on an anonymous board?

It's seems to be about how you perceive discussions. As win or lose, rather than the sharing of ideas and experiences. Your idea of sharing seems to be wanting to dictate, but not listening.

You're still assuming what I do or learn. You aren't in my thinking so can't assume. Working out isn't an addiction to me but a lifestyle. I haven't exercised as much in the last year as I did the prior 50 years because of a gym not being that close. When I got a meniscus tear in one knee, i stopped squatting heavy. I was squatting over 500 lbs for reps, which wasn't necessary, so I adjusted to more leg presses and a lot lighter, even though it was still heavy weight. I worked out like i was competing but didn't compete with anything but myself.

I didn't listen when I was getting into it from the older gym rats about lifting so heavy, as i was one of the strongest in the gyms and I wanted to stay that way because it felt good. After that tear I backed off, but the damage was already done. I did learn, as I have torn rotator cuffs from heavy benching and overhead presses, even though I used perfect form all along. if you look at most power lifters in their 60's, they have a hard time walking like they did younger.

Look at how you interact with others and ask yourself why you get the same results. If I don't know about something, I'll ask others for advice. If I know about a subject, I'll talk about it, and argue if someone tells me something that's wrong. Go back and look at what you first said to me, along with a couple of follow ups, and see if you can see where you went wrong. .

What I tried to convey is that your body works naturally in a different way than the way in which you try to force it.

I mentioned the amount of reps that I did, in order to let you know that I also trained to 'excess', rather than as a boast.

Similarly when it came to squats. Powerlifting squats. Butt almost touching the ground. Again to illustrate to you that I know what I'm talking about.

The difference is that I have no injuries and have regained full flexibility. But I couldn't get to any of that, because lots of stuff goes on in your mind before there is any possibility to get down to brass tacks.

What's the difference? That I lived your lifestyle and I've lived a life outside the gym. Whereas you are on just one track. So I can compare and explain the differences. But if you see life as a rivalry where you have to 'win' every time, you aren't going to see anything other than what you imagine to be true.

Do you think I live in a gym? I've raised 6 children, mostly by myself, and it wasn't at the gym. Don't assume how I view life as you have no idea. All you know is what I've said here, and that's a tiny fraction of all I've done in my life. I have a life outside the gym and always did, even though I worked in 6 gyms. I asked how old you were earlier and other questions you didn't answer.

I did squats down past horizontal all the time, with weights I'm sure you never tried, as everyone who lifts like i did gets injuries eventually. I did high rep squats with over 300 lbs also, up to 25, so I know full well what hardcore means. Leg presses over 1000 lbs for reps.

How soon you stop this type of training is how many injuries you'll sustain. I've know thousands of bodybuilders, pros and non, who all got injuries eventually, as it's part of the game if you want to compete. Talked with Frank Zane when I worked at GNC also. I never did drugs as I knew that was a disaster in waiting. Again, try not to assume before you reply.

There you go again...back into you thinking that it's a competition. You cannot help yourself. It's just your norm now. It's why you cannot understand my meaning. Holistic. If you understood, you wouldn't be writing such rubbish about weights.

Think about it in this way... Think about how a blind man can have acute hearing. He can do amazing things with it, but he won't ever be able to see in the way of someone whose eyes work as designed.

Whatever I say to you, will be interpreted within your sphere of knowledge. Only when you are actually there, will you understand.

I preferred to learn how to heal myself, rather than to claim 'lifestyle' and to exacerbate the damage. Learn how your body works in nature, rather than the artificial construction created in the gym.

Do you see why telling me how much you pushed has nothing to do with what I was trying to relate in the first place?

I am there, but this isn't something you understand. Did you not read when i said I stopped how i was training to stop any further damage? Do you not understand you are younger but your time's coming?

I asked you questions. if you don't want to answer them, it shows your dishonesty even more than you've already shown.

It's never been a competition between you and I. You keep assuming and I keep proving you wrong. Rather easy but it gets boring quick. Thinking I don't understand weight training and it's benefits, calling it rubbish, further shows how little you know, so don't go there as you're embarrassing yourself.

I am there, but this isn't something you understand. Did you not read when i said I stopped how i was training to stop any further damage? Do you not understand you are younger but your time's coming?

I asked you questions. if you don't want to answer them, it shows your dishonesty even more than you've already shown. Assuming I haven't also tried other forms of exercise is also another assumption. You do not know my life, so give it a rest. Artificial construction created in a gym? LOL Try another member. This one you'll never fool with your game.

Your post says it all...

There's no point in trying to continue to try to have a normal conversation with you. Your mind won't let you.

Yes, my post does say it all. Your mind just doesn't work very well. That's why I said to go ply your wares with another member, as I've seen you do almost daily. You need an audience, but not with me.

A very limited human being...

I mentioned the amount of reps that I did, in order to let you know that I also trained to 'excess', rather than as a boast.

Similarly when it came to squats. Powerlifting squats. Butt almost touching the ground. Again to illustrate to you that I know what I'm talking about.

The difference is that I have no injuries and have regained full flexibility. But I couldn't get to any of that, because lots of stuff goes on in your mind before there is any possibility to get down to brass tacks.

It would be helpful if you posted data tables and graphs.
