>50 yr old dad wants to start lifting
>I'm pretty babbymode myself but I've built some strength

my dad is diabetic and ive been trying to get him to go to the gym with me for years. He does the same excuses everyone has. Now he has a pump permanently attached to him that feeds him insulin

My dad's 52 years old /fit and he's showing no signs of changing his lifestyle. I fear he may live to see his grandchildren.

depressing as fuck.

Meme from op aside how do i go about on helping my dad by getting him to the gym? He's average weight but the issue lies in his back. Which is fucked from a back injury years ago has Something to do with a disc and (sciatic nerve?). So basically he gets bad pain (says it feels like a knife stabbing him in the back) from carrying about 40 pounds on a good day. Would progressively starting very very small and going from there slowly help ease the pain and give more mobility? This is real important to me i dont want my dad ending up in a wheel chair down the line :(

90kg dead?

>>40395666

>t. 6 months SS "powerlifter"

>>40395666
he doesnt have to lift heavy to be healthy.

as silly as it is get him on the ddp yoga. it works for old fucks. and have him work cables that put minimum stress on the back.

>dad was a curl bro, told me I need to do dips to get a v taper
>Massively overweight. Maybe 270 @ 5'6"
>Discourages me from cutting because 'you go to the gym to get bigger'
>Doesn't care about squat, deadlift, etc because 'those are for your legs'
>Tells me I'm wrong about calories in/out because he watched a short documentary that told him cutting carbs will make him lose the most weight
>Smoked for 30 years or more, early 50s now

He will not live to see my younger brother's children. I'll be surprised if he makes it to the wedding

>>40395666
Idk how mobile he is but maybe swimming? Yoga +Mobility exercises?

Sometimes people can work around nerve pain with a regimen but other times there's really just nothing you can do. He doesn't have to be
a e s t h e t i c just healthy

>dad was powerlifter from high school up until he was arrested
>completely cut him out of my life 6 years ago before he was released from jail

I don't regret it, but since I started lifting there's always been some lingering thought of lifting with him

>>40395638
Just don't do more than him while he's around, bro.
