you people are weak as fuck
I just turned 40 and I go on 40 mile hikes in the mountains with 10,000 feet elevation gain. I am assuming the people making these comments are sedentary and moving is one of the only times when they actually have to use their bodies.
There's a saying "the less you do, the less you do" that is applicable here.
Yeah it's worrying seeing so many people my age claiming that they are falling apart. I'm 35 and my body is fine. The only wonky thing is that my face feels like it sets on fire if I yawn incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure that's a TMJ injury caused from stress clenching rather than age.
The meme's about people having their back in shit shape or that they're basically invalids when they turn 30 are wild. I wonder if the ones memeing about it are 15 and 30 is basically a grandpa or if they're 30 but haven't had a day of exercise in their life.
Maybe we should open more green third spaces and stop policing state forced-breeding programs in athletic spaces.
I don't think there's lack of green third spaces in Finland but the same issue persists.I don't know what you mean by "state forced-breeding programs in athletic spaces"
aw, sorry. Uspol. Enjoy your freedom!
Some of our best labor martyrs were Finnish-Americans.
I just think it will help people relax and focus on their bodies to be somewhere physically healthy they can focus on how being in a body feels, rather than if they're performing body to script enough to not get hsssled while minding their own biz.
People really should consider lifting heavy stuff more often so their backs actually support them without a chair back.
I'm 54 and can run circles around most people, and I have light emphysema. These posts weird me out as well. Got a few theories about these people.
They're fat and the extra weight has stressed their joints and back. If they're American the odds are for it.
Never really exercised. Took my kids (9 & 11) on a hike to the creek. "How much further daddy?!" "Whole trip's only 1.2 miles, we're about halfway." <howls of outrage> We started elementary gym class, every single day, with a mile jog.
Around 30+ is when you first start noticing that you're aging and just might not be 10-foot tall and bulletproof much longer. Maybe they're exaggerating?
41 and fat but I was just at a music festival and can run circles around and had more endurance than most people in their 20’s. People are soft as fuck.
Yes. You are spot on. All this “ it took 4 days to move”. Probably didn’t rent a truck and moved shit in cars.
My physical therapist tells me it's not that my muscles are weak, it's that my ligaments are made of boiled noodles that refuse to keep my joints in their proper place. I have a lifetime of unrecognized hypermobility to contend with. That damage to joints is cumulative. I'm not risking popping a joint out of place just to help someone move.
What a strong boy you are! Can you make a big muscle for us all, we wanna see how strong you are!
if you and your friend cant lift an oven, you seriously need to start exercise. but dont blame me when the mover gonna ask 2 months of salary.
I lift over 45000 total volume per week and do 300 miles a month on the bike in addition to my weekly BJJ. What's your routine?
I'm just not dumb enough to conflate the ability to lift a couch and having bad knees or back.
If a few 35 year olds can’t move some furniture, then yes, they are weak as fuck.
Athletic people never have back problems. Or knee. Never. It makes you perfectly healthy and invincible.
If you think you need to be athletic to move a couch you’re just proving my point for me
Never once. Never ever have issues. Completely invincible.
