Well my grandfather definitely qualifies here. A tall skinny guy that could do heavy physical labour 15 hours a day, smoke like a chimney and feel great just the same. Beat the crap outta two guys for talkin smack at him in his 50s. What a guy.

I’ve been working in shops my entire life. I worked as a “hopper filler” in plastics for years, and have been in the print industry for 17 years. When I picked up martial arts again, my sensai used to say I had “retarded strength”.
I’m 6 foot 5 and only about 185 – 190, and work circles around the gym rats at work. And “Mr. Stan” didn’t even like to spar with me because he said every part of me was solid, and it hurt him to hit me.
As I progressed up the corporate ladder my job is becoming more clerical, and less physical. As such I’m looking for a way to increase or at least maintain what I have.
Going to give this a try… it’s gotta be better than turning into a weary old man.

I don’t mean to “spam” with embedded videos, but words alone will not describe this. I am the guy (23 years old) standing on top. I am using the ceiling for balance.
