    Ah yes, the SUV is basically the bride from Kill Bill, doing the five point palm exploding heart technique.

      If I remember right there was an episode where they summoned him without heart, and he was a jerk.

        Being a father of a 6 year old who has already had a minor concussion and a bruised nose, l kinda feel this one. Little kids do seem to roll with the punches better than adults, especially if you respond less dramatically. I assume a lot of that is due to being shorter and lighter weight though, leading to less forces overall, basically the square/cube law in reverse,

        However, i do find a lot of folks who complain about how fragile they are do 0 cardio or weight training in order to strengthen themselves. My single most common recommendation is to do some kinda training for both, even if it's just once a week. I'd say it's probably the best investment you can make up to a certain upper limit time wise.

        I'm sure there are some folks with old nagging sports injuries that bother them, for me that's my knees from 400+ pound squats, but in general I'd say I'm extremely resistant to day to day problems that affect most people besides minor to moderate muscle soreness/fatigue which mostly comes from the training itself. The only exception for me being my neck, especially from "sleeping wrong", which makes me think I should actually do some of the exercises that actually train your neck...

        Again, I'm not knocking individual folks for their specific issues, but I feel like a lot of "normal" folks' problem is that they're just weak from years of being sedentary and a good general fix for that is just a bit of strength and cardio training.

        To me that's a good thing because that means for most folks there is a fairly simple albeit not necessarily "easy" solution. I find problems I have the ability to directly fix are best.

        I agree, a lot of these "injuries" are just neglect of your body and bad posture that build up a debt in your body over time.

        I used to be really fit until I get a desk job. I recenly bought some kettle bells to get back into shape.

          Man I opened a window in September 24 that unexpectedly was a bit harder to open. When turning my hand, a pain went though my wrist. Since then my wrist is fucked up, it hurts a lot. I have been to the doctor, doing physiotherapy, wearing an orthosis etc.

          I opened a window and destroyed my wrist, it sucks to be old.

            As someone in my 30s I've been told that by folks in their 40s and 50s about hitting the 30s and so far besides a reduction in the ability to not get a hangover I'm not really seeing it.. I can't speak from experience so far but part of me wonders if that's not just folks projecting their own specific issues onto those younger than them.

            I'm not casting shade on you specifically, I don't know your specific circumstances, it just makes me wonder how much of this is age vs how long folks have gone without exercise and have begun to atrophy. Kids play and run a lot so one could assume they're probably more fi than we are even if they're weaker and slower than us due to their size.

                That's why I said I wasn't casting shade on your specific circumstances, since I don't know them. There definitely is a tangible difference as we age, so far I find it to be recovery times that are affected, I just find a lot of folks use that as a crutch to justify getting more and more out of shape. Not trying to project onto you or any one in particular.

                  ...no offense taken at all, we share the same point that individual mileage may vary; as i've aged, though, i've noticed fourties and fifties sneak up on pretty much everyone across the spectrum...

                  ...depsite my resolve that general fitness and activity prove a differentiator, i've come to accept that nobody escapes senescence...

                    I walked up a hill and hurt my hip a bit. Then I got excited and jumped around dancing later that night, and BAM. Hip has hurt for 4 days now (as in, hobble-walking), and considering my track record, will now hurt just slightly until I die and doctors will have no fucking idea why.

                    I think that's normal for someone aged 60+
