Last one, ok? I’m going to have to start deleting these. This is not the politics sub-forum.

Can you help translate this for me? If I’m understanding.. You changed careers at 40 years old, because the world changed after 50 years.. do you realize the world is older than 50 years, or what magical thing happened 10 years before you were born and 40 years after?
I know, but Andrew is the type who was born stronger than me in every way shape and form, I’ve known his kind, athletic, military etc etc.
I’m a regular joe who really didn’t lift till my early 20s before that I sat around ate junk smoked cigarettes.
There are some 30 year olds I’m stronger than, but not his type.
It’s just the way it is. I’m fine with it and I’ll work as hard as I possibly can to achieve better.
I ain’t got no problem, Drew though is just a young idiot.
Yep…. Being that im now 54 years old having both shoulders scooped at different times and having been diagnosed with the start of arthritis in one. This pretty much is my attitude after what I read on several post above…

Do you understand young man that there was NO Internet when I was 17?
I knew 1-person when I was 19 who had the Internet and I remember we were looking at gross pictures, it took like 10 minutes to load the website.
I myself didn’t own a PC until I was 36, I got my first phone about 10 years ago.
Now, OMG what is this AI crap? It’s doing all the wierd stuff, I don’t want to be part of this……….
Okay, TMI. I just wanted to know what this meant:
Because it’s an odd statement. If you said, I changed careers at age 40, because the world changed after 20 years that would make more sense.
So what. Before the internet only those who saw you could criticize your efforts.

Now AI bots are doing that.
Only criticism I need is, if I have or haven’t achieved that PR!!!
That tells me all I need to know!
I don’t think he’s necessarily saying that 50 years ran totally through his lifetime. I think he’s saying there was a general concept of industry, for about 50 years, for which he prepared and entered. So maybe he followed his parents’ footsteps, for example. Then, midway through his own career, he discovered those skills or behaviors to no longer be lucrative in the face of a dramatically changed/ changing marketplace, and left his fitness goals to pursue a now more appropriate education.

Then quit whining. No one cares about your “excuses.”

I’m not whining, I’m here saying I’m working my butt off, NO DAYS OFF!!
Does that sound like whining? No thats persuing, others are whining because I do shit by figuring things out in lifting things you might not be doing (RT in the past with me - “I don’t do those strange lifts and 1-rep in training or very very high reps. 10s are the best).
Even you want to prove that no days off isn’t the best for optimal growth, well I actually enjoy lifting every single day. Life’s too short.
It does to me. I have read many of your comments. Your theme is riddled with your self perceived hurdles to hinder your success. I have grown bored of your needy cry for approval.

Blah, it’s just my story. You tell yours all the time your amazing pull-ups as a kid, your great excellence!
Ok awesome, I was an idiot. I’m working on getting better. I panicked in my 30s and stopped lifting big mistake I’ve already owned that and said I’m never going sacrifice my strength and health for a career.
I began that when I was finishing my degree. I said F this and started lifting at mid night in my basement hoping not to wake up my wife, then I’d do some studying and went to bed at 4am.
I suppose everyone has a story.
The issue is the Internet has provided a means of ubiquitous publication and distribution of every story.

It’s why I stick with a blog. Instead of forcing my story on everyone, I quarantine it and people can go visit it. More like a zoo really.
