“These guys in their teens and twenties are so scared of overtraining that they think if they do one more rep they’ll instantaneously age to 70 or 80 something, with a snap of the fingers just like that.” – Me 5/14/20 on the phone with my uncle

Gym perspective on physical possibilities are often pretty limited.
Good things happen to those who make themselves capable of lots of physicality.
