In conversation with a coworker we agreed it’d be better to go at 50 sound of mind and body, than at 80-90 years old physically and mentally decrepit having been so since around 40 like the average person is in our society.
The next morning I couldn’t help but think of how by 50 one could have a pension from military, police, fire, and be able to basically start fresh with the pension as better starting out financial means.
I have some assumptions here :
•you’ll have the pension by 50
•you’ve been training the whole time
Hershel Walker fought mma at 50 something. And how old was George Foreman when he became champion again?
It’s not like men with more age can’t train hard.
When you read of ancient warfare, amongst barbarians it was the norm for all men to pick up axe and spear and march to war.
From teenager to seventies all fought, and all were physically sound.
When you look at physical strength it’s usually not at maximum until middle age. And usually it’s an old man with the strongest hands.
Aging poorly is nothing but weakness.
