Working out, as a grown adult, has reminded me of the humility needed to grow.

When you’re young, you can blunt force, energy overload, all the time in the world things to their completion.

Now that I’m older, not as limber, more responsibilities, I can’t do that. I must adapt to doing things methodically, the right way, even if it’s a longer and less exciting.

Working out or being fit or strong is not the goal. The goal is subjugating my pride to becoming a closer version to the person I want to be.

Love you all. Take care.

🫂, I chopped wood yesterday it sucks today. Keep pushing

I have yet to attempt this at any scale. I want to lol

You’re a good man. I appreciate watching you muscle through a lot of the crap to move things along.

“Scale” it was 2 wood sections I had to have a nap when I got home. I prefer the shovel

🤣 totally agree.

Nice words. I’ve also found that as I age the goals have changed. Now, I work way more on core strength, balance, flexibility and cardio/heat health so that I can still do all of the activities I like to do, and not get injured, or if I do, I can recover quickly. 🤙

100%.

Work with younger guys pulling 6 days on heavy weights and it’s a learning process to not make it a competition.

The injury/ability to do the things I want part is huge. I don’t want to have let myself get to a place where I’m forced to be sedentary.

I’m sure for your wide open space visits, all of your prep ends up being invaluable.

For sure. And like you said in your original post, humility guides me way more than just going for it. If I go too hard it costs me. It’s a new risks/rewards calculation, whereas before there was no thought process of the what ifs.

I missed so many of you. The mature perspectives are really encouraging.

It’s a nice place to be 🤙🫂

What's the age if you don't mind me asking?

Sub 4 0 😏

I’m gonna reserve some level of vagueness lol

Why do you ask?
