Old man strength is a myth

[Brolic]

I’ll be 29 at the end of this month and I realized I’ve been outmuscling you Mfs in the gym and in the real world for the last 7 years.

I worked for a moving company for like a year and none of the people who i worked with had “old man strength”.
Most middle aged gym heads can’t squat, bench, and deadlift 315, so you know the average untrained 40+ year old man working a regular job is frail and .

So you don't expect yourself to be stronger at 35 than 29

 

[Action Mike]

Only applies if they had strength to begin with

Old man strength comes in times you least expected.. its been numerous stories of 60+ year old men blowing the wigs off these young dudes trying to rob them where I live.

Old man strength refers to lifting everyday things like telephone poles and truck tires, not weights

their msucles are used to lifting regular things all the time, there are gym heads that can' t lift regular equipment as easy as men who are used to doing certain types of work....

If it means that aging men conserve strength built in their youth longer than muscle mass, then aight

Anything else is prob another myth

That’s why I mentioned I worked a manual (moving) labor job. If you’re shoulder pressing your body weight you then won’t have trouble lifting poles, tires, bags of grains etc.
Those old men who work manual labor jobs are stronger than average joes because the average joe doesn’t lift anything heavy in the gym or real world.

Grown man strength is real its one of those things you don’t realize you have until you use it and it’s different than gym strength. It’s honestly more related to fight vs flight and adrenaline.

None of this means you’re actually strong tho….

To add to it, old man strength is more about having experience with physical activities and knowing how to use your body compounding with others expecting the older one to be weaker due to their age and initial appearance,
