58 going on 85. I have the thrashed body of somebody that played middle linebacker in the NFL for 15 years. I think I counted 12 broken bones over my lifetime. I was wound a little too tight till spinal fusion surgery ground me to a halt at 38 and I quickly gained 40 pounds. A good example I dabbled in some amateur boxing. I had a friend whose dad trained pros that told me I worked out too much. I used to hit the weight room after football practice in college. This was back in the day when there was a lot more contact than there is now. Most guys back then where I was from didn't even touch weights during the season.

I just lifted too much too often and always went heavy. 25 years of that took it's toll. Then throw in 3 motorcycle crashes and those are on street bikes, who knows how many times I ate it on a dirt bike. Unfortunately doctors won't prescribe pain meds for chronic long term pain anymore. My hair would even hurt if I had any.
