Summary
Who say’s you have to grow grey and weak with age?
That’s what most believe. That after an early peak the body will wear and break, and lifting weights just won’t be very fun anymore.
But is that true, or does the descent begin the moment you stop having a good time?
There is a remedy, but the answer isn’t to train more intensely. There’s nothing for you to prove.
With the love and support of family, and great teammates by your side, there will be no limits to your strength.
And ultimately, your most productive and blissful lifting years will begin the moment you start having fun again.
