Muscle recruitment and physical strength used for 1 arm pushup
The most hurtful words one tells them self is “I wish I would have done that when I was capable of doing that!” Youth is abundant in the 20’s, 30’s and partially into the 40’s. Aging has no real meaning in these years; typically we are still living in the myth and swimming in our own immortality. We do not understand neither aging nor its effects, how could we, we have never had to deal with aging as a fact of life?
So the dream resides in our mind, and in our fantasy to be completed a little later in life. No, the dream doesn’t change, but something is…our years. The years accumulate, this is known as aging, and physical abilities will be taken from us.
Scream, holler, shout, write whomever, complain, but these will not matter nor make a difference in life’s outcome. In the area of your personal physical abilities, 99.9% of the time, you must maintain your physical capacity throughout the years. If you stay with good solid physical activity you will be surprised how much you can carry with you. But, let your physical being slide or even worse never develop it and the dream will never take place.
In my own physical activity over the years there is not much I have not hit. I have said: ”From the sky to under the seas I have hit most things.” I have jumped from a plane, sailed on the sea, and SCUBA dived.
There are a few more things I could do, but I will have to wait…and see.
The actor Jack Palance was honored at a Hollywood award ceremony about 10 years ago, and got down and did 1 one arm pushup. When I hit seven “O” and if I am still around, I dream of getting down and doing about 30 “Rocky” style one arm pushups…dreams…damn straight.
