Longevity and Joint Retirement Funds

So that goes circles back to like the power of physical bodybuilding, the extreme people who, you know, they're just focused on muscles, not on joints. They're just focusing on muscles and not the other tissues. And yeah, you look good now. You're 25. You look fantastic. You're really strong. Remember, I was that way too before I started taking care of myself. I'm lucky I never hurt myself that bad because I always recognize and try to retain my function. you know always that athlete mentality like i'm telling you by the i've had friends that i that i used to compete with that didn't have to pull the line purple now because they didn't listen to all that yeah and it's it's good the young guys don't think about it because they can recover they get injured they recover in a few days that shit changes when you're in your late 30s early 40s all that shit changes like your ability to reorganize tissue you have an accumulation over decades of these insults to and trauma to your tissue uh if you if you don't take care of it when you're pliable and it's easy to take care of it gets a lot harder when you're later muscle is easy to grow like muscle and strength is always easy to grow even when you're old the hard thing is rebuilding your joint tissue because that reorganizes itself far far slower than muscles do it's like if you your superannuation fund do you start that when you're young but you start that when you're already past middle age certainly you're young like you want to bank that the same same thing for your physique you want to make sure you're banking retirement funds so that you're not crippled and it's easy to fix later because as your body falls apart that's going to happen we're trying to delay that as much as possible yeah i think there needs to be more emphasis on people like and there has been you know like you were probably one of the first people to talk about least mode years ago when you started to actually say look beast mode has place but there's also you gotta splash that with these modes otherwise you know you're gonna fall apart it's like i did the same thing like i'm an ecto wall so i'm like super hard gainer so i used to think that if i just smashed myself in the gym for a couple of hours every day i would grow right yeah it's like but it was it was doing the opposite i was putting so much strain and stress on my body and i wasn't reaping the results then i worked harder in the gym thinking that that was what i needed to do and it's like it's not necessarily so i just wasn't recovering that's I wasn't giving myself an opportunity to grow because I was just continually breaking down the tissue.
