There’s a lot of shit that can go undetected and yet kill you with no warning.
Leukemia and some other cancers can go undetected for a while, and can masticize to other areas before they’re detected, and yet the individual can still be asymptomatic. Often, the first symptom of hemochromatosis, a harmful buildup of iron in the liver, is catastrophic multi-organ system failure. Aneurysms can very often be fatal and happen with little warning.
Of course, exercise and a good diet dramatically reduce your risk for damn near everything (except STDs since we’re all so damn sexy). Lift heavy, eat clean, don’t smoke, wear your seatbelt, and you’ll have a really really high chance of living a very long life with a very high quality of life. [/quote]
True man.
It’s like when you get guys like X who were skinny to start with. He had the genetics to get to the size he is now but he wasn’t living the lifestyle. When he started living the lifestyle he really got the chance to live up to his potential.
So should we stop training because we may drop down dead one day? No. Because by training we are living up to our genetic potential at it’s fullest and by doing so we get to get the most quality out of the years we do have.
Just my 2 cents.
