I’m an electrician and a lot of the older guys at my job have so many knee and back issues but I always see older people who went to the gym every day look and feel great

IIRC Ronnie Coleman, 8 times winner of Mr. Olimpia is wheelchair bound, after 2 sugeries in his hips, 2 on his neck and 9 on his back, resulting in a fully fused spine.
Hitting the gym 24/7 for 8 hours and doing extreme stuff will hurt you as bad as a full time manual labor job and that is not counting the ammount of juice some of those guys get.
If you had to do your manual job for only a couple of hours (or less) and take care of your posture and movements you wouldn’t have back or knee pain as some of the old guys you know have.
Most old guys that go to the gym are probably rich and have the time and money to do it carefully.
