Title: Am I old?
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on December 08, 2012, 10:57:22 PM
I'm currently sitting at mom and dads house watching the new Spiderman on a Saturday night.  A young filly asked me last night what I was doing after the bars and I said "sleeping and I can't wait!" When did I get old? I'm 28, should I plan for the worst from here? T's & P's, young pup, fanning.

Yup. I get a lot of "fanning, your the man" calls though. So I don't know if it's legit or not.

I'm a long way past 28...in fact, I'm at an age I used to think would be old. But I don't feel old. Still very spry.

In fact, I think I could kick Johnny Manziel's ass right now.  :dance:

you won't consider yourself old though. old is a moving bar. when you are in college, 28 is old but when you're 28, mid thirties is old and then when you are mid thirties you're like well i mean it's not like i'm forty or anything, i mean forty is old.

You're an adult at 28 but sure as hell not old. It's Probably one of the best ages you can be.  If you look at pro athletes that is about your peak age physically.   Also if you're single it gives you a large window of girls to date.  Once you hit 30 some girls in the early 20's start cutting you off.  If I could pick an age and stay that way for the rest of my life 28 would probably be my choice.

Oldness confirmed by medical professional.

Saw the doc about the hamstring I f'ed this weekend.  He asked me how I did it and I told him that it was on a treadmill but that I went a head and did my other exercises as long as they didn't give me hamstring pain.  I told him squats, lunges, etc.  He said that I should consider never doing squats or lunges ever again and that this has noting to do with my hamstring.  I looked at him weird and started to tell him that I thought it odd my doc was telling me to stop working out in certain ways.  He cut me off: "....how old are you getting to be (looks back at chart)..oh yeah, 34, you should seriously stop doing squats and lunges.  No good will come of it."

I'm convinced your doctor is an idiot when it comes to this.  Both excersices work your hamstrings and at a spry 34 you're not old enough to where squats are going to cause any damage as long as you are using proper form.  I hope you at least got some decent painkillers out of all this.  Are you stretching before and after you workout?

i squat and do leg workouts sometimes but if any place on my body is going to get left out, it's going to be the legs.

I'm sure you more than make up for it in dong anyway.

The doc said that they medical community are finding that squats and lunges do long term things to everyone and that continuing to do them is not smart "especially if you are already in your mid thirties".

Sounds completely Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) to me.

that sounds accurate, actually.


Yep.  I'm 27 (turning 28 in late October), and I've recently stopped doing squats because of the toll they were taking on my body.  I could feel a pinched nerve starting to form in my spine from where the squat bar sits on the bridge of the back.  My knees were also becoming increasingly sore.  Even if you have perfect form, squats are still going to compress the spine and put stress on the knees and other joints.  I've switched to more distance running lately, and honestly, I feel a lot better than I did when I was lifting heavy.

Nice work Beems.  I subbed in running for squats and I felt so much better after few weeks.

Yeah, but how are your quads and glutes looking?  Spindly at best is this poster's guess.

Guys, here is my issue.  I hate running for more than like 10 min.  It's so boring.  How do you unplug and forget that you have a functional brain in order to keep running even though it is more boring than basically anything else known to man?

Not running, but you could try a spin class. Lots of folks like those.

That rhyme was pretty legit...almost too legit.

Quads and glutes are just okay.  I play a lot of basketball and tennis along with running so they could be worse but butter.  Definitely not elite.

I would love to play BB, but would have to travel because the other ppl that go to my small town Y suck.

I am going to just keep doing leg workouts and stuff.

Yes, just not if it is me and no one else in the gym.  I mean, I could make it a good work out, but that would be kinda weird.

oh I thought you didn't want to play w/ them because they suck.

It wouldn't be weird if you did a solo b-ball drill workout, though. who gives a crap what sucky people think, anyways?

I'm just talking 2-5 mile runs a few times a week.  Maybe "jogging intermediate distances" is a better way of explaining it.  Squats are okay if you do a moderate amount of weight.  Obviously the more you lift, the more stress you're putting on your back and knees.
