Looking good Ali. Nice legs! Never let 'em tell you you're old, haha.
No worries.....I doubt anybody would say that to my face.
On vitality in old age:
I totally believe in continuing bodybuilding as vigorously as possible just as I believed back in the day when I was competing. The difference is working around injuries and degeneration that occurs through years of sports activity. Because I have a total hip replacement I can't squat. Because my shoulders are overworked I can't do overhead presses. Now that said I CAN perform exercises that don't compromise injured areas.
Another strong point I firmly believe in is EATING. I am seeing photos of older women who are lean and appear muscular in a very anorexic way. A woman's physiology requires 13 % bodyfat to produce estrogen. In the older woman estrogen is already at a lower level. Estrogen is one of the essential elements in the formation of bone tissue ( strong bones require estrogen). Extreme dieting of women who are beyond menopause is not healthy. For me to maintain the muscle I have... I not only exercise... I eat !!!! Clean and well. I eat, bike, lift, surf, and whack the yard

All these photos were taken when I was well over 65...like 69 , 71 etc. Old
