The weakest men in history are probably those of the last 40 years...purely because so many of them spent their lives sitting behind desks and never did any physical exercise.

But things are changing.

Folks still sit behind desks but now the gyms are packed. I moved to a small town in 2001 (having spent my career in NYC and a few other cities where people exercise)...and when I arrived there was only one gym and it was empty. Now there are 5 gyms and they are packed from 6:30 am until 9:00 pm. At my gym, there is even a long waiting list for the spin classes.

Many of the folks at the various gyms are heart patients who have been sent there by the docs and some are even morbidly obese.

But they are getting with the program and getting fit.

Very uplifting!

The gyms are packed with guys with huge arms and even huger guts. They look ridiculous. Working on your bicep? What a waste of energy.
