SOFT SHOULDERS

In the Bill Withers film, Withers talks about aging and laments the disappearance of his shoulders.

I have just been going through this over the past few months.

There is nothing to do about it. Well, maybe pads.

First, the appearance of moobs (man-boobs), then the pot.

All those lead to the illusion of narrower shoulders or, to put it another way, if you are getting moobs and a pot, wider shoulders will counterbalance them.

But, sooner or later, the shoulders go too.

Well. I am almost 75. 74.5.

I still go to the gym and do the cardio and enough weight training to keep things strong. But strong is not muscle mass. Muscle mass is down the drain after a certain age.
