Yeah...there's days when my backs fucked and there's no way I could throw down but thankfully I'm never helpless...But I just hate bars now in general unless its just a little cool dive bar.I'm starting to become afraid of physical altercations.
I never used to be afraid if some asshole at a bar was starting shit.
I'm not a badass or anything but I just felt like I could handle some drunk idiot.
But now I have days where my back is acting up, or my shoulder, or my knee, and I think, "If someone wanted to fight me right now I'd be pretty helpless."
That's a great one and time is the one thing we all take the most for granted...Running out of time; there’s a lot I want to accomplish and time seems to be flying by. Also, our government.
Losing my sanity. Rather die younger than get dementia if I’m gonna get it.Just found out last summer I don't like roller coasters anymore. Just too intense for me. Don't think I'll ride in roller coaster ever again. lol
Agreed, you can find ways to adapt. I tore my pec a year ago and can't go heavy on the flat bench, so I do higher reps and hit the incline heavy. Still a good workout.41 here and still very active with strength training. I run into issues all of the time now. Hip flexor issues are new to me and something that happened 35+. Knee issues I've had for a while. Back strains probably happen once every 3 years. Achilles strains happen almost everytime I get into running.
I will say that I've found a lot of comfort in working around it. Currently have a back strain, but I can still do most lifts where my back is supported (feet up bench, leg press, any arm lifts, etc.). If my achilles is hurt or hip flexors are bothering me, I can still deadlift, bench, etc. Worst case scenario, I can almost always do the stationary bike or walk.
Probably this. At 39 I still feel confident and capable but in the back of my mind I'm like I really don't want to throw down with a 25 year oldI'm starting to become afraid of physical altercations.
