A different view on the muscles / strength topics

[YouKnowWho]

One advantage that you will have from the strength training is it may be your "only friend" left through your old age. When you get old, even if you may try to maintain your ability as much you can, you will still lose your

- speed (you can't move as fast),
- flexibility (you can't kick as high),
- spring (you can't jump as high),
- balance (you can't stay on single leg too long),
- endurance (you can't spar/wrestle 15 rounds),

but you can still lift as much weight as when you were young. You will always have your strength until the day that you die. It's the only ability that if you do a good "maintance" job, you will be able to keep it.

Of course if you stop your strength training at your age 70, you may lose it when you reach to your 80. This is why we can't afford to stop our training no matter we like it or not.
