    As a construction man. That old man strength comes from lifting weights that are uneven across uneven terrain, up ladders, having to hold on to power tools or using old school raw strength to grip a tool or pull some rebar out a 2 tonne bundle, eating good food, drinking full fat milk, work in the rain, snow and roasting heat. And just graft

      As part of the not yet but rapidly approaching 63 year-old military retiree crowd with decades of military experience, I would add that there’s also something to be said for those with the brute force stubbornness of learning to say what you mean and mean what you say while embracing the suck. 0300 tire changes in the middle of nowhere happen, ammo is heavy so carry more than you hope you need, planes don’t load themselves, and rain is just an opportunity for an impromptu combat shower. No sense whining about it because the only people that will hear you are stuck in the same sucks to be us as you are, but it could be worse. You could have ended up a PoG, BoB, Salt-licker, or any of the other nicknamed air conditioned desktop pencil warrior wanna be heroes bragging about what they did to receive their good conduct medal.

    “Learned” strength when I was in my late teens and 20’s. Worked for a moving company summers during high school and college. Used to be able to clean and jerk 125 with one hand on a 6’ bar when I was in my 20’s. Been running and working out ever since. Am 72 now and can still do 10 pull-ups and 15 dips. 65 straight pushups on a good day. The secret is consistency and never stopping. It’s easier to stay in shape than it is to get in shape.

    As stated by others, it doesn't come from working out later in life, it comes from working hard when young. a couple of years ago I joined another volunteer fire department at new workplace. The chief wouldn't let me do the physical because I was old and fifteen years older than him, who was a buffed out hotshot who worked out twice every day. Heard from others he scoffed at the idea of me taking the physical and how I'd never make the ten minutes deadline. He was fired four months later and I was allowed to take the physical. Finished in 6 minutes, eleven seconds. One the young buff firefighters commented when I was done, "You could have put your toes under that loader tire and flipped it. You just reached down and stuck your hand under it and flipped it over, and the first couple of times it almost went over twice before it hit the ground." The loader tire was about four hundred pounds and we had to flip it six times, which usually killed most of the young guys who had to struggle to get it over once.
    I didn't tell them I had been a professional mover, commercial fisherman and carpenter who had built a lot of remote cabins with hand tools or that I had cut wood with a handsaw for fifteen years.

      I cut wood with handsaw, only. Stupidest tool you can buy is a gas chainsaw. If you really need to cut something huge today, you should be so well planned that running a cord is no bother. And it's far safer to do the limbs etc with handsaw.

As far as safety on how to use a chainsaw most people I've ever seen were stupid when using one, including state and federal forestry people who take eight hour classes on using a chainsaw. A friend of mine who is now in his mid nineties used to log in Southeast Alaska by hand in the bad old days. Trees six feet in diameter size. He taught me how they sharpened and set their crosscut saws so that it shed "goose turds" when cutting through a log. But he also used to say that they should make people start cutting trees by hand, then they would understand what they are doing a lot better, like where to cut, how to fall a tree accurately and so forth.

      @@lorddio2737 Iso is the only thing that has helped improve my medial epicondilitis (golfers elbow). I've had it for 22 yrs, and there are literal months worth of videos on ways to elevate it. All were the same level of effectiveness, which was zero. I was desperate, for years upon years. It hurt all day, as my career was in the construction trades.
      The only thing to help is static hangs, which I accidentally found to help the med. epicondilitis while hanging for shoulder conditioning. Later on, noticed that deadlifts were helping also.
      It was the combination of heavy loading without the concentric movement that's unlocked the problem. It began breaking up the scar tissue and improving the fiber matrix. It literally hurt to wash my hair and turn a steering wheel for two decades due to the tendon attachment being so degraded and inflammed. It's improved I estimate 50-75% in 8 months.

      @@supernothing77 I know your pain. Other than what I've mentioned, my biggest improvement has been finding out that the flare-ups weren't from wrist flexion hardly at all -- it is mainly caused by wrist pronation. (That's for me)
      When doing any sort of curling motion, I try to isolate out any pronation effort. I have plated dumbells and I weight bias them to the pinkie side, to spur a supination engagement. Conversely speaking, weight bias toward the thumb side would very much exacerbate the trouble. For example on a 30lbs home dumbell, I'll put 17.5lbs on the pinkie side and 12.5lbs on the thumb side. But I'm sure thats on an individual basis of preference per person.

    Another good tip is to be active as much as possible throughout the day. Work in some small push up/pull up sets. Go on walks, runs, climb stuff, play frisbee. Pick stuff up, hold it, move it, throw it, slam it have some fun, practice a sport, swim, hike, animal crawl. Stand more than you sit. Just keep your blood moving and muscles working. Humans arent desinged to sit and lay around all day. Lazing around for 23 hours a day and exercising for 1 hour is doing the bare minimum. Yea you'll get gains but your missing out on boatloads of benefits like strength and muscle gains, conditioning, muscular endurance, increased energy, protein synthesis, more dopamine, better sleep, bigger apetite, more alertness, warmer joints/muscles, faster recovery, smoother digestion, better cognition and more.

    You said something I almost never hear other fitness guys mention, and that is working on the inner self. I know that's a branch that is an encyclopedia of its own, but to me it's one of the most important aspects of personal fitness one will really need to remove mental limitations and inhibitions we put on ourselves. You can't be serious about improving yourself without improving your attitude, or coming to terms with life events. Putting some time on your inner self will help you maintain laser-like focus to your fitness goals, or whatever other goals you pursue.

    My friend had a neighbor years ago who was an old guy. Probably in his early 60's. Spent his whole life doing physical labor. He looked like a regular old dude you would see in the country. He wasn't a big guy at all. We were outside my friends house playing around with a bar with 225 on it doing power cleans and clean and jerks and he walked up and was talking to us for a little bit and asked me if i could pick it up with one hand. I tried and I didn't have the grip strength to do it. The bar would roll out of my hand as I stood up with it. He does that old man laugh and casually walks up and easy deadlifts it with one hand. He drops it then quickly picks it up again like it was nothing. He didn't brace himself or do anything of the sort. Just reached down and picked it up with one hand. I was impressed to say the least. Old man strength is a real thing.

      So I don’t think I’m “old” but my ability to perform hard work in the gym is limited if I don’t pay attention to my mobility and sleep. Also being stronger than I’ve ever been means I can stress the body much harder in a single microcycle which in turn requires better recovery and mobility organisation.

Olympic lifts, compound lifts, full body workouts, squatting every training session. Mobility is a huge piece of my workouts, full ROM, active recovery days, cardio, etc. I am an old man liftin. I turn 50 in 6 months and still move a shit ton of weight. Cheers.

    Not boasting just trying to add helpful information. I was an Iowa farm boy when I joined the Army in the 80's. Pound for pound us farm boys were the strongest people at labor work like throwing camo nets or loading equipment. In the gym the weight lifters were only slightly stronger in bench and squat but we could deadlift more.
    Over the years I tried to figure out what exactly makes the farm boys so strong and I think it's the STATIC holds. Buckets and bails of hay for 12+ hours a day builds insane grip and core. Second is the random 100% effort and intensity that happens a few times a day on the farm. Shoving a 700 pound hog out of a barn, lifting a 200 pound calf into the back of a truck bed, pulling an Oak stump, moving a tractor tire and rim, etc etc. Also, we ate a metric ton of beef and eggs! Hope this helps in some way.

He told me, if I wanted to get stronger, to lift more boxes of fruit and put it on the back of the truck, move more water pipe, load more hay bales on the trailer, cut and stack more firewood. Not big by any stretch of the imagination he could lift farm equipment when he needed to, load box after box of plums, pears, apricots - move irrigation pipe all day long. That is funtional strength. He was a great guy, made it to 94. I miss him.

    I’m 58 and bigger (255 lbs) and stronger now then when I was 28. At 28 I could deadlift 265 lbs for one rep at a body weight of 180 lbs. Today I can deadlift 410 lbs for one rep and that’s after only getting back into lifting about a year and a half ago. I believe Old Man Strength come from having strong tendons and ligaments which takes years to mature hence Old Man Strength.

    Dude was 94 and still worked his fields every day. At 95 he got his finger degloved in a pea sheller and then caught his jacket on fire at his gas stove. Burned him pretty bad before he could get the jacket off, but he survived. We'd be cutting his grass and here he comes with his pump action 12g to shoot at the hawks trying to get his chickens. Had to pick up the shot shell hulls before we could mow the grass. Mr. Herbert was his name. Tough old bastard.
