As stated...
Moderation.

Though I had a great great uncle that smoked like a train and stayed whiskey drunk till 100. Non typical results.

Most of the elderly population we see showing great relative strength tend to have a very low training age. The body can compensate pretty quickly, even in the elderly. It’s usually the training miles that fuck us up, not just the life miles.

Might as well give up now. Could only Squat 225x5 today can't focus, or push myself anymore. Ive been like this for 3 weeks and just can't shake it. I've been told I'm never going to make it, and forced to leave the gym i loved to lift at.

Seriously take a breath. You can do this. Yes it’s going to be hard work to earn it. Be reasonable it’s going to take time and not every squat session will be better than the last. If a squat session is only mediocre go find another auxiliary movement afterwards that you don’t normally do and kill it there that day. This approach can help physically and mentally.
