"Prevent falls." Oh man, you're making me feel old

I served at the local Ma and Pop dinner in town for 3 years. Open since the 70s, original owner is still a regular type of place. The current owners met while working there in high-school. We have multiple generations of families coming in. A lot of regulars into their 80s. Still living on their own.

I can't count the number of 65+yo, we lost in that time frame to falls. They never heal right, if at all from the first one. Eventually falling again and again.

My balance is one thing I'd ideally like to take to my grave. Even my Uncle at that age, still lifting 3+ days a week, is starting to lose his balance.

@Kloi You are right for average trainees, those getting into it. I meant my comments more for those who've trained for a long time.

"Prevent falls." Oh man, you're making me feel old.

@Kloi check out the links to the WATGMA posts I shared in a different part of the thread

@Kloi

One of you fuckers told me I probably wasn't eating enough

It was actually two of us fuckers; @bozza and me in this thread.

did you even look, bro?!

@SeasonedRP

My head tells me you'd want to do the opposite with older folks. Cutting the %1RM down and increasing the reps or more likely sets but I am no trainer.

Realistically the only thing I've recommend to guys in their 60s is one legged movements to increase balance to help prevent falls.

One of you fuckers told me I probably wasn't eating enough. You were right.

Was likely eating at a slight deficit for months.. Started tracking calories again. Figuring my maintenance is around 3400cal.

Looking to hit 191 by April before cutting back down.

@First-light

You could realistically lump service industry to include bartenders, waitresses all lumped into one.

@Vermillion-Rx

You kind of answered your own question of why trade women would be sluts. Masculine, male dominated industry. Most the girls I've met in the trades are either built like a bull dike or are semi to very attractive tomboys who think they're just one of the guys.

@Typo-MAGAshiv

Man I was just thinking to myself, it'd be nice if women didn't look at me like a paycheck at 8am when I'm grabbing coffee geared up in my work clothes.

@iwasthinkingp999

Treat your body like a temple/remain physically fit yourself would be the most passive way.
