Who said, I'm making excuses? I'm just giving one person's experience. Mine. As I said, I hope you can maintain, but I've walked a path you haven't walked yet. And best of luck to you while you're on it.

i been at it since i was 13, everyone said....wait until you are 30, then it was....wait until you are 40

oh and it was always...better stop lifting those heavy weights, not gonna be able to walk by the time you are 40

always said to me by some obese family member that "knows best"

The last time I did a barbell program, I was in my 20's. But I'm naturally an ectomorph and never really trained for strength. It's just not my strong suit (pun intended). That being said, my predominate muscle type is fast twitch and I'm a natural sprinter to middle distance sort of person. The sports activates I excelled at were mostly outdoor based and ones that needed short bursts of power and quick direction changes. I never had the inclination to hit the gym when I had the great outdoors at my footsteps. I simply went out and did what I was good at. And enjoyed it.

so when was the last time you did a full real all out sprint? like a true 40 yard dash type as fast as you could?

when we the last time you trained to get better at that>

so you havent done a barbell program in 30+ years and you wonder why you are weak and have a dad bod. have you done any other form of resistance training outside of 12oz curls?

my point is, you havent trained in 30 years yet you are telling me...oh wait until you are 50. its the same thing 40 year olds who are fat and dont train tell 20 year olds.

and you are making excuses, intentional or not and you are rationalizing your own failures of maintaining your health as "natural"

being fat, unathletic and weak in your 50s isnt natural, its just extremely common. There is a big difference
