Most of my life I have been an attentive, giving and generous man. At 60, I’m surprised at how self-centered have become.

    Definitely, yeah you didn’t say anything wrong! I just try to aim for max clarity on the point. I hear frequently from trainees IRL and people on various forums that they thought they didn’t need to train lower body because it was already covered by running or whatever.

    It’s become a pet peeve of mine so I try to nip it in the bud whenever possible!

      Absolutely! I admittedly fell for this for many years as a runner, but these days I do just some light/moderate squats, leg extensions, curls, alongside sprints/inclines, etc. and it’s made a big difference! Especially in stability.
