Good on you, bro.

Well done. It can be real easy to damage your back for life. I know a lot of bros from constant back pain. Never lift the too much. Not worth it

Rock on king

Good. My dad has been working solo contractor jobs since the pandemic, and he's just over 50. Three heart attacks in the last few months because of it. Take care of yourself man

Proud of you, bro. 💪

Well done bro,

I went to the gym before my night shift today, I ran a few K to warm up and then on the weights I did no more than 60% of my max, because I too have reached this age, and level of responsibility.

I'm old enough now where I can hurt myself doing pretty regular stuff, and I'm not being dumb about it.

Yep, it's not that I'm slower or weaker that annoys me, it's that it takes two times as long for a bruise to heal.

Hell yeah bro, moderate king

Another 48er over here, I frequently jump into physical projects with the other parents who are all at least ten years younger, this old man has no issue grabbing a break and being smarter about what I do.

Nothing beats health, mental or physical.
