lol , Dang "58" You are getting to be an old fart ....... JKN ...... I wanna share something that surprised me ! At 58 I was thinking damn I am getting old and I don't want to be 60 because that IS old ! But the good news is the way ppl view that dreaded age of 60 ? I think and thought 60 is old . The truth be know it is ....... But once you reach it and stop dreading it and in the gym at 60 ; you look at so many 40 somethings that wish they were in as good of shape as I am ; I think holy shit life is good and I am being objective . I have to say though that I have health issues but hey most men that have lived like I have are are dead ! After all we are all dying and few will escape this world without death .

I was really JKN about you getting to be an old fart ....... but my GF is younger than you , lol !

I feel that I need to make some change in my life and one of them is to change gym's. My current gym is small and everyone is like family (Lake Park Swim and Fitness/LP for short), but it is expensive at 57 bucks a month. Also most of the people are older, I would say the average age is probably around 60. At LP I am beyond a doubt the most muscular, strongest, best over-all built of everyone there. I am going to a chain gym, Crunch fitness. I was there for about a year off and on when I belonged to two gyms. At Crunch it's a young crowd I will no longer be the biggest and strongest, but I am not worried because I will still be bigger and stronger than probably 90% of there clientele.
I hear ya about health issues. I have lived life on the edge and should already be dead a few times from crazy shit I have done on crotch rockets and snowmobiles. But I am still here living with the pain from my bad decisions and will work through them no matter how old I get. I think I am looking forward to being 60, will put even more young bucks to shame! LOL
