Geez, I hope not. There are older and wiser.
I’m just one of the dudes who sweeps up and keeps things running.

An archetypal wise old man.
Thanks for clearing that up …
I thinks I’m going to borrow this expression
I hope you get just as much enjoyment out of it as I do…

We use to do this in martial arts training. Strengthens abs and kind of simulates getting punched in the gut so you get used to tending your abs at the right time so it doesn’t hurt.
In all fairness, I totally did something similar to this when I was doing MMA. Would have people punch my stomach while doing ab work, pretty sure because someone saw it in a Rocky movie…
Edit: didn’t read all the way down, looks like a couple others have beat me to this point
I get this kind of “wise”:

Yep, I used to drop the medicine ball on myself. During martial arts classes, you just have somebody smack you with insert instrument of choice here, with the degree of hardness/stupidness of said instrument dependent on your level of brain damage.
Can’t remember my “inspiration”, but I never saw that. ^^
add: guess I joined the crowd lol

You don’t need to “borrow” it. Maybe kids today don’t use that expression anymore, but from this old guy’s perspective, it’s relatively common vernacular.
Yeah, sorry @cyclonengineer @Frank_C I thought it was one of those exercises gym bros did to “look cool”
My opinion of the half squatter hasn’t changed though … 
I’ve occasionally thought about posting a “Happy Things” thread, but mostly think about it when I’m running, so haven’t followed through.

Well here you are taking about it … why not now?
You want me to talk about my Bose speakers and how happy I am that they’re hung at my exact ear level now?
I’m just not feeling it.

Go for It! I’ve debated it myself, but don’t want the responsibility of being a thread starter.

My closest friend. I consider myself inept with social media, but she’s on another level:
In August, I sent her an email detailing my summer and a text asking to chat sometime
September: She replies with a 1500 word email detailing her summer. The first line… " I saw your text"… 
I responded with an equally long email and am currently still waiting for a response. Given that she just started school at UChicago, I think I’ll give her a 3 month grace period…
She’s absolutely brilliant and will probably go to do great things (future theoretical physicist), but she’s the kind of person who’ll win the Nobel Prize, miss the call then, upon finding out a month late, declare that one of her colleagues actually deserves the credit
I like this guy. Can we keep him?
