The older I get the more I enjoy training.

I just threw up in my mouth imagining that.

Not so bad, just need to tan.

So as long as he's tan, wearing the assless chaps is ok with you!?

I started training old, but I do seem to enjoy it more and more. I don't dread leg day as I used to, in fact I love it best of all days!

[Dom]

Just so long as we train! I really love going to the gym.

Well I had a first time experience today.. After starting lifting in 1981, I had a 25 lb plate drop on my big toe. It was an accident - I was chatting w/ a buddy and he happened to lean on stack of plates hanging off the smith frame, and the 25 was apparently just dangling on the edge. Down it went. Luckily my leg day was complete but I had to call it on posing & cardio. A small amount of swelling, there was a cut where the plate landed just below the toenail. And I suppose I'll lose the toenail.

Damn. Shoulda been wearing my steel toed tennis shoes.

[red barraca]

ya iam 30ys i love training more now because i've learned though the years how to train right and learning my body and finding out what works and what does'nt.

[antonbrn]

Ouch! I bet that hurt.
When I slack off on going to the gym and the diet, I feel like crap. Sometimes it's hard forcing myself to go, but I feel great afterwards. The benefits and results are great.

This is great to read! I'm 34 now, and am curious what is in store 10 years or 20 years from now!

It's good to see people totally cranking away!

Hey! I represent that remark!!!! I'm the 20 years from now!

Four things get me in the gym, depending on my mood I guess:

1) After a long day of sitting on my ass in front of a computer, I really look forward to the physical outlet. Often its just as good as addressng the urge to punch something.

2) If I'm in contest prep, it comes down to you either do it, or don't bother. (Very simple approach...)

3) Especially when I start to feel socially isolated and haven't talked to anyone about anything other than computer / tech stuff, I'll go to the gym to hang out w/ the meatheads.

4) Bottom line, regardless of how I feel just thinking abotu going to the gym, it is knowing how great I'll feel afterwards that will get me in the door in the first place.

I love workout out three days a week plus cycling three days.
I'm not getting older, I getting better.

I love the burn, the challenge and the looks the old man gets.
