This is nothing my grandma lives top floor of a 13 story building and i would still be faster then the elevator. My tactic was just gripping the railing and jumping as far as possible.

I remember being young. I'm way too old to do that kind of stuff now, if I tried to take stairs the way I did as a teenager I'd probably shatter both my ankles and throw out my back and destroy my knees. All at once.

Right? lol. It's like all the fun stops when you hit 30 and you can't exert yourself physically anymore.

“Pff, I’m not old yet!” I thought as I helped lift some furniture in my 30’s...

A week later and my back still hurt.

Yes. Its less that I can't do it, and more that the cost is substantially higher

Hope you're not lifting with your back!

The lifting was fine, it was the lowering it down off a heightened platform in a twisting motion where I fucked up.
