Fit standards for 30+ men that I made up. I think these would put you in the top 5%

1-3 STRICT body weight chin ups
20 STRICT push-ups
Bonus: mobility - deep lunge w/knee over toe

The average 30+ man cannot do those things

Bar is low to be above average!

In 1998, Tony Holler's "best team ever" got destroyed in the state finals.

That crushing defeat led him to question everything.

His answer became known as Feed the Cats & is used today by big time stars like Saquon Barkley.....🧵THREAD

@TAKpolymerase The only sport I ever quit - mid practice. Bent my wedge and walked to the parking lot (still play with the same bent wedge).

Came back a week later, tee’d off at Greencastle with @Tdawgkunkle. We both shot 70+ for the side.

Wouldnt trade those memories for anything

@WyattGentry7 My state is great until all you spring breakers jam up I98, raid our Publix grocery stores, and muddy our beautiful white sand beaches, agitating our sea turtle nests with your midwestern filth.
