  • I don’t understand this. I’m 32, I’ve been working labour intensive construction jobs since I was 18, and before that I played football, rugby and hockey pretty much year round. I’ve been pretty tough on my body pretty much my whole life.

    99% of days I wake up feeling completely fine. Some times I’ll have a sore back or neck or something, generally from lifting heavy shit or just overworking. Then a few days of recovery, I feel fine. All these memes I see of 30 year olds acting like they are 75 are just so stupid.








  • Another random piece to add, maybe it will help you out too - I have ridiculously flat feet. Like literally no arch in the slightest, and it kinda fucked my knees and hips up a little bit. My feet also naturally point outwards when I’m standing too, so I’m wondering if maybe my running mechanics are fucked because of that, and maybe it takes me way more energy to jog than a person with normal feet? But I still don’t really get it, because like I said, I was a faster sprinter than 99% of people I met, only track dudes were faster than me.


  • I have nothing to add to this other than to tell you I’m in the exact same boat as you. I played football and rugby in highschool and I was a really good athlete, and I was super lean, 6’0 and about 175 pounds.

    I could not fucking run long distances to save my life, whenever we did runs in practices I was struggling back with all the fat dudes, where the other skinny guys like me were not even breaking a sweat finishing so fast. I was the fastest sprinter on the team too, so it wasn’t my athleticism holding me back or anything.

    I’ve never really figured out why, I think I might have some form of asthma or something.



  • Yeah I didn’t even really know I was ambidextrous until I was like 15 or 16. I discovered I could write with both hands, and I started doing a bunch of stuff left handed and found out it was pretty easy for me.

    Then my dad told me that when I was a little kid I played hockey shooting both ways until I chose shooting left. And he said I always did everything both ways. Just took me until a little later in life to discover on my own.
