re: New studies find that being fat is not healthy

I just don't think getting stronger past a certain point is really necessary or beneficial - at least in my life. Staying limber, lean, and in decent cardiovascular condition are all much more important in my opinion than something like upper body strength.

agree but once in the 50s and 60s many tend to lose strength big time. Its funny a new meta analysis came out that essentially proved we have pretty much the same ability to gain strength at 65 as we do at 35, yet we see all these issues in the 60+ crowd. Those issues are usually from lack of hard physical activity.

but being able to do 5 strict dead hang chins is gonna be plenty strong enough for most people.
