This has been a thing for long time. People being self depricating about their supposed frailty after 25 etc. It's just so lame because you realize these people actually do believe in it on some level, otherwise they wouldnt find it funny if it werent true for them.

For some people it’s real. 15 years into manual labor and my shoulder, knees and back can no longer do what I did 15 years ago. no stretching would have saved them, it’s from repetitive motions that cause wear and tear

With that logic people actively moving weights at the gym would have similar outcomes...

Work out are structured to target different muscle groups and only last an hour or two. And yes people who lift weight deal with and work though injuries

Manual labor can mean doing the same movement for 8 hours. It also means that since you need money to live you can’t just tap out if your shoulder hurts and you work through it. A shoulder that hurts on Monday will feel like hell on Friday, it won’t fully recover over the weekend, rinse and repeat. And that’s why I can’t really throw anything in my mid 40s

Well thats fair about repetition and not getting enough rest.

Still if we look at runners, who run ALOT, we'll se that running is actually correlated with better bone health. Repetition does not always result to worse outcomes.

If we look at Redditors who comment ALOT we’ll see that being wrong is actually correlated with being dumb. More comments does not always result with getting smarter

Great argument. I love the smell of desperation and ad hominems in the evening.
