World's best lifestyle hack? Talk to an older person

I'm really suprised this generation of slackers,influencers,don't wanna work 9 to 5 generation doesn't pull the greatest life hack...

Lean on the older mother f ucker with the wrinkles,the scars..the people with knowledge and experience..for advice

Cause some things don't change.

I commented on this tiktok vid on YouTube and this young dude was flexing...
Literally boasting about how much he could " straight curl" a barbell with his back against a wall.

And while everyone was stroking his ego..

I laid the smack down..

Not because I'm jealous...of what..his youth or ability to lift a " heavy weight"??

Your boy is a forktruck...

Anyway it's hard for an " old guy" like myself to just sit back and let someone do something incorrectly..

And you know there will come that light bulb moment...down the road

Where everyone says..

I wasted x amount of years lifting incorrectly..I never got " big"..or I hurt my shoulders..
Or now I got bad knees..

I wish I would have listened..

Young buck? Your talking with a guy that has been lifting on and off for like 35 years..

He and I had a back and forth in the comment session..

Finally he wrote..

I see your point...but my way works best for me.

I replied

And your way is wrong..( I dime dropping it right there)

Someday you'll sit back and contemplate life..
You'll ask yourself where has time gone
And you'll say...
I wish I wouldn't have wasted all those years
Lifting incorrectly..

Then after a torn bicep or back back..

You'll finally be ready

To listen..

I'm not a guru..I'm not influencer..I'm not here to sell you supplement..

Or merch..( but hey imagine me on a t shirt or beer cosey)

I'm am scared, I am wrinkled, I am tired...

This is what you look like when the world

Has beaten you down for 54 yrs

This is what

Experience

Looks like.

So hey keep doing what you think is best for you..

Just saying..But this old motherfuck

At 54.. can squat,over head press,bench..( my knees,my back,my hips,my shoulders are fine..never been injured...w/o any pain)..

And hopefully when you reach 54..you can say the same..

For such a slacker generation I'm suprised they don't use this hack..

And fyi...where do the younger generation turn to for advice..??

Tiktok...wow..tristian Lee... who describes himself as always the smallest kid in his class..
At 20 something..looks like " arnold"...

Or sam...sorry forget his last name..but Sam is the new influencer/ bro lifter..
He is quick to criticize the old school guys..meanwhile telling you to just be yourself..

And yes all of these people..including the girls..are on steroids..

Social media has cut out the middle man..

It used be nobody lifted...nobody cared about bodybuilding or powerlifting or worlds strongest man...there was no money in it..

And to get money,get sponsors you had to actually win..

Now..your a 18yr old Asian dude...hop on social media..hop on hgh,testosterone, sarms etc

And wow...kids will like,sub and view..your vids

Which means...$$$ and sponsors..

There is no need for the old guy at the gym...
