Not really. Frankly I'm still amazed guys like Dave Draper have made it to be 60 and still look good (or he did the last time I saw a pic). Dude DIED THREE TIMES in ONE night from liver damage or some such thing due to excessive alcohol abuse, roids, and apparently a hefty amount of PCP. If those guys make it even ten more years, I'd say there's definitely something to switching over to a healthier lifestyle later in life. It really seems to help keep a body healthy.
As for my tendons and ligaments, I can feel they are a little more strained then they used to be, but they are nowhere near at their worst. I'm a lot more careful with my training nowadays. I dunno, maybe I'm still too young to be noticing much in the way of this stuff but I really am hoping there is a pay-off to living a healthy lifestyle and paying attention to your body as you go.
Besides, what's the alternative? Do nothing and watch life pass you by? Alls I know is when I get to the end, the most important thing to me will be whether or not I feel like I did shit and went for it in life. If that is going to cost me a couple years at the end, then so be it. But I would prefer to minimize it.

I don't worry about it to much, If anything weightlifting and walking will make all my body parts stronger and last longer, that is if I don't do anything stupid and maintain good form and pay attention to my body.
Well thats what I believe, I can honestly say I have no major pains and am pretty fit at 18, I'm just trying to reach close to my genetic peak without messing up my body's natural cycle. I figure once I reach my genetic peak I will be satisfied and just maintain that level of performance as long as possible.

most of my family has worked construction since forever, and theyre all in great condition compared to people who work regular jobs. my dad is 60 and can shovel/bricklay/concrete all day without looking too stressed.
imo, when it comes to your body, its use it or lose it. good form, warmups, stretching, and its going to be the best it can possibly be, end of story
funny i was out last night and saw some of my old schoolmates and their younger relatives (all of whom dont work out) - they looked about 8 years older than they actually were, and none of htem got any action from the hotties in the club...simple fact is, if i have to have banged up joints etc when im 60 so that i can score all the hot wimminz for the next 20 years...lol...im buying shares is Voltaren Emugel lol

im scared as shit for my knees....
i'm young and already have occasional knee pain. sometimes have to take it easy on the legs. doesn't help that my actual knees are super tiny.
my brother had tendinitis issues from lacrosse, even when he was young...so i think it's a genetic thing partially.
lower back scares me too when i DL...sometimes i can't tell if im getting a sick pump or im lifting too heavy than my lower back can support
