Then at age 11 I was put to work swinging a hammer and building houses.
Nobody there gave af that I was the smallest on the job site.
There was work to be done and heavy shit to be moved.
I've been strength training my whole life.

Very few people see training from this lense, but those who do are rarely ever injured.

People like to talk about how powerlifting trashing the body, but I've never met a good powerlifter who was injured doing things correctly.
Every injury conversation goes something like this:
"I miss grooved, rushed the lift, wasn't warmed up, knew I had a tweak, etc"
