They all say that until they are 60 if they make it that far and are broken so bad their quality of life sucks or are looking directly at heart failure. I gave up BB and power lifting over 20 years ago. If I continued i am sure my knees, back, hips would be fubar. Yeah I lost 40 lbs of mass and could not lift half of what I did back in the day but I feel way better.
It's a trade off.
