The black pill of athleticism

@Sugarcoat Yes. It made think about what a cushioned, lucky privileged life I have. It’s a remarkable story, no wonder it has like 100K ratings on Amazon. 

I’m not a big fan of his philosophy on a societal level (everybody’s responsible for themselves, conservative type of talking point), but on a personal level, the book empowered me to take more responsibility for my life. Great read, honestly.

Pushing one's limit is a young man's game. Past 35 it should be more about common sense exercise to maintain the body without destroying joints and tendons.   Exercise itself is somewhat overrated and just another "belief system" that people decide to participate in. In fact past a certain point, the more you use your body the faster it falls apart, just like any other item.

Your last sentence is empirically false. As you get older, you lose more and more muscle, which is why it get’s more important to workout. Otherwise you’ll become injured really quickly. 

I think with the help of fascia training, it will become possible to remain physically healthy and athletic for much longer than is currently thought to be possible. Because as we get older the fascia in our body loses structure, loses stiffness, which makes it easier for the fascia to entangle, hence forming adhesions. This can turn into pain, compensation patterns which lead to injuries, general stiffness maybe feeling less effortless in movement too. 

Now, it’s not proven yet that fascia training  can reverse that, but I’ve felt the effects in my own body. At the beginning, my calf’s, glutes and quads felt absolutely riddled with adhesions. I could feel the entangled structure of my fascia. Now it has completely remodeled. It feels smooth when I roll over it now and pain free. Fascia remodels along the lines of tension (which is why it’s common sense that movement will actually improve yourself health, cause it keeps your fascia healthy), and the training that I do has found by far the most effective way to induce tension into your fascia, and remodel it holistically throughout the entire body.

@Rigel We were referring to running past one’s limits, like in a race where you go all out. There will definitely be some pain or maybe call it exhaustion if you will. Like when doing squats. But apart from that I don’t have pain while running. It actually feels rather effortless for me.
