I have been lurking for a while (bout a year) on various sites and decided to join meso. Already made a few posts. .so i guess I'm doing things ass backwards... get used to that.
Been lifting, extreme "sports" and recklessly cheating death for the last 30 years. Why? Cause it feels like nothing else. It's addictive. I never felt as alive as i did when serious injury or death was close. And during the quiet moments afterwards.. a sober reflection about what happened. ..or didn't. .Scares the life INTO me.
then Id feel okay for a while. Like I got my fix.. then I'd need more or I'd get depressed.
Anyway that WAS me. Now I'm 44, a bit beat up and I'm trying to ease back off the gas. The tenth surgery was kinda it for me. I want to see my grandkids.
I can still do most of what I could at age 24.. but some movements take days to recover from. I can't even roll around on the mat for 5 minutes grappling because I haven't learned how to not go 100%. Maybe one day I can chill. We'll see.
Been on peds for 7 years. Train regularly and trying stay as capable as possible sans injury. I train for a mix of speed, strength, flexibility and balance.

So that's me. Look forward to picking up a lot of hard earned knowledge from meso members and I hope to contribute as well.
Take it easy
