I'd argue that lifting is probably the #1 activity old people should do. It's good for your joints (if done correctly), your heart and your muscles. What happens to a lot of people when they grow old? They sit at home and waste away, not eating enough and losing muscle mass, leading to poor balance and a greater chance of injuries. They obv don't need to be very strong, but not being weaker than a 5 year old certainly has immense benefits.
I just recalled research being performed in my home city (can't find it online unfortunately). They put a group of old people (70ish) through a very basic strength training regimen. Their strength increased by A LOT in a fairly short time, as did their LBM. Furthermore, this had a definite effect on quality of life.
Not trying to strawman you here.

Or you could say it like this.

Do you even wash your gym clothes at 90 C/194 F every once in a while?

Gave all the most prudish answers to all the sex questions, but isn't extremely religious. I'm okay with this, mostly looking for gf material and not hookup b/c I'm beta unlike the lord of H+F online dating, BTM.
Bolded + gf material = does not compute. Though "sex questions" might be you being a creep for all I know.
