What's the deal with 65+ YO men in the gym
They are trash talking about your generation and ogling your women.

What's the deal with 65+ YO men in the gym

Gaucho got a bunch of responses.
If a 65+ man is still lifting heavy, he probably knows good form or has made the bad form work for him. I hope to still be lifting at that age, even if bad form.

A lot of Medicare plans have a gym membership bundled as an additional benefit. Some of these folks take advantage of that.

I always laugh when I see the 40 year old boomers in the gym. Why do they even go? Planning a divorce?

50% of all those 65 and above that fall and break their hip or femur are dead within a year. Think about that. Maintaining some level of cardio and strength training is imperative for longevity and quality of life.

Lower ego and lower the copays

Was bench pressing 110 lb dumbbells Saturday. All about form. Kept my head on bench, legs brought up in a crunch position (ankles crossed) to keep back flat on bench. Spent 10-15 minutes stretching first. Damn sure didn't drop them past my shoulders to tear up my rotators.

I’m over 50 and go to at least try to not become a pot-bellied slob.
51 here and although that is kinda my goal as well, I still lift damn near what I did at 40 when I powerlifted hard. Just replaced barbell bench with db's is my only huge change due to a injury I got in my other vice, BJJ. Still squat and dead with good form. That is the key and also don't go balls out like I did back then.

This was the entire purpose of this thread, happy as hell to the people of all ages in the gym. But doing 10% range of motion isnt doing them any good and more likely harm. But the fat fricks on this board wouldn't understand having never stepped foot in a gym.

Old man strength is real. Don't mess with them youngun

Not really
The Boomer generation started in maybe 39 - 41
Yes, really.
The Boomer generation started in 1946 with the exceptional number of births that occurred after the end of the Second World War when men returned home after the war and made up for "time lost" while they were overseas. This was known as the "baby boom" and thus the Boomer generation.
The generation you describe is frequently referred to as the Silent Generation. They were the ones too young to go off to fight in WWII, although a few of them got to see combat in Korea, and some in Vietnam. Boomers were coming of age in the 1960s and got carted off to fight in rice paddies in southeast Asia. They were the last generation that had to face a peace time draft.
Being a Gen-Xer, I would say the only problems we faced were inflation during the Carter years and some pretty crappy bubblegum-cheese-pop on the radio in the 80s. (Think along the lines of Pet Shop Boys, The Thompson Twins, Jack Wagner, A-ha, etc.) But, we enjoyed a good portion of our youth with Ronald Reagan in the White House.
