It doesn’t take long to lose your power.

I was a college athlete. I was never that great with weight lifting but I could throw the javelin, discus, and put the shot almost as well as our 300 lb. weight men.

I was a sprinter and hurdler and only weighed around 180. I could do 28 pull ups and that was the only time I tried it.

After being married a few years and working behind a desk or more often behind the wheel of a car, I had grown soft and did not even realize it.

We were walking in a park and I saw some playground equipment including bars. I jumped up and grabbed a bar thinking I would impress my wife. I was shocked that I could not do a single one. The extra 40 pounds I had put on didn’t help either.
