Holy moly, what a thread! A 76 year old competitive lifter. My hero!

Never give up--never surrender! Galaxy Quest has nothing on you...

Greetings Oldster. I blush to be praised by someone with your great size, and even more impressive power. It's not that many years before you're my age, and goodness knows what you'll be lifting then ...

I'll be 77 this month [giggles....]

Greetings Oldster. I blush to be praised by someone with your great size, and even more impressive power.

Pshaw. No blushing necessary. I'm so slender and willowy, I barely throw a shadow. I don't think my wife and friends see it the same way, but that's the story I'm sticking to!

It's not that many years before you're my age, and goodness knows what you'll be lifting then ...

I'll be 77 this month [giggles....]

Man, 77. When I'm your age, I just hope I can lift what you do!

i totally agree with you, Oldster. Someone weighing 240 lb can look very frail .....
