I know this sounds dumb, but I always had this belief that too much weightlifting and muscles can cause you to look horrible and droopy when you're old. And also that somehow weightlifting is bad for you when you're older. I know this is a limiting belief so I'm hoping someone can shed some scientific evidence to prove this wrong.

What's the best combination of exercise possible if you're looking to optimize your health at all age ranges? I want to get big, but at the same time I don't want to compromise my health now and suffer for it later. I'd rather get into the healthiest habit of exercise and eating now and continue that into my old age.

Thanks!
