He lifted his ruck when he fought in the jungles of 'nam but no otherwise he did not.
>>36979707
Yeah, both of them actually. Both were in the army. One of them entered the army at 18 or some other young age and killed a lot of japs in China. The other one was really tall and had good bone structure, his wrist was like almost twice as thick as mine. He was also in the army and taught kungfu there.
>>36979707
Le reddit post.
He had a farm so he had farm strength
he's 71 now and still pretty fucking strong. especially his grip
My grandfather on my dad's side wore jumpsuits as everyday wear, in retrospect he was kind of an angry drunken potato but he said "nigger" in public a lot so it was ok
My grandpa was a carpenter and in his spare time liked to box and beat the shit out of anybody who felt confident enough to step up to him

My grandfather fought in ww2 and took part in the storming of Normandy and came back with no problems, so he was quite badass in his own right without lifting.
My gandpa was too busy in Korea blowing gooks' heads off to lift.
My grandfather was at pearl harbor on USS Arizona when it got bombed.
He was just a typewriter worker, and when all of a sudden it was time to abandon ship, he told me he had to swim a mile avoiding tiger sharks, gunfire, drowning victims, etc.
He was one of the last surviving members, he died 3 years ago at 93.
Without even being my grandfather, he was the most honorable and humble person I've ever met and had a firm handshake.
He was a cardio bunny afaik.

>>36979707
My paternal grandfather was a prodigy baseball pitcher in high school, according to my father one MLB team tried to draft him but he turned them down for reasons I cannot fathom. Then he went to fight in WWII with the Coast Guard, didn't see a lot of combat but the military back then trained soldiers much harder than they do now. As an adult he was over weight, but I'd say he lifted.
My maternal great-grandfather was a Green Beret in the US Army, did two tours in Vietnam when he was around 35, give or take.
Why are men such pussies now?
>>36979707
my grandfather was a marathon runner actually so he didn't lift but he was an amazing athlete. also represented my country several times in running competitions across the globe. he now works as a judge in national competitions.

He was a double agent translator for nips/murricans.
I wonder how it must have felt cucking both sides.
Nah but he played football at a pretty high level and used to run home from training with lead in his backpack lmao
Also beat his dying wife though so not really a man I aspire to be
He didn't need to lift, he came from an extremely wealthy family and was a playboy
Kind of wish all that wealth hadn't disappeared in a revolution so I could have had a taste of it

My grandpa is 89 and still jogs this very day. He likes walking from his house to the beach, almost 10km.
He started 40 years ago with some friends and together they formed a small club.
I feel bad for him though, he told me that in it's prime, the club had around 30 people running every saturday, but now there's only 4 people left because he saw all his friends die.

Old farmers (and I mean OLD; 70+) are often shockingly strong. And I don't think they're topping up with testosterone patches or HGH shots, either.
How do they do it, /fit/?
>>36981566
Strength, provided you don't get seriously injured or whatever, is one of those qualities that sticks around well into old age if you keep using it. Even if you've lost a lot of mass.
>>36981566
Lifetime of using their hands and bodies for labor and stubborn appliances. My grandpa is 70+ and he's got farm strength. I remember once trying really hard to open this stuck latch, and he just comes and flicks it open like it was a light switch.
I've also noticed farmers tend to have little patience for stuff, at least in my family. There's rarely any finesse or careful maneuvering around problems, when something is stuck they just fucking pull on it with everything they've got, like they don't have time for that shit. This gives them insane quick twitch muscle fibers in their arms.

Imagine surviving a friggin war, only to be forced into another one on the other side of the world. And now, more than 70 years later, the government that sent you into that war admits that it was wrong to start a fight over there.
>>36979707
He died at 91 or 92 about 5 years ago, he built his own farm and readied the fields himself and ran it until he had a stroke. He was probably quite strong, since we are big people in the family, but it is hard to see if he had physique
My grandpa was one of the best wrestlers in my country (not the murrican tv soap opera) but he had some problems with alcohol and died 10 years before I was born.

Holy shit you sound like such a try hard redditor trying to fit in. What a fucking retard. And btw yes you do have to go there to know that. I definitely didn't know that and don't care to know that. Stfu.
No, but I imagine that lifting was a lot more of a luxury back when my grandfather was young.
These days most people just take it for granted, but you probably didn't have a lot of time/money to stand around lifting heavy shit and eating a bunch of food if you grew up during the great depression.
Now, even if you're relatively poor, cheap gym memberships, and the low cost of food basically means everyone can be in pretty damn good shape if they want.

What a retarded thing to point out. Are we supposed to force fatties to work out for the sake of a theoretical situation? Also people back then we're shorter. So it would be skinny fat manlet vs tall whale. Really though why even give a shit. When it comes down to military strength (which is what actually matters) we are way stronger.

Maternal grandpa definitely didn't
>>36979707
Maternal GF: a big and bulky man who worked for two decades protecting coffee plantations in Brazil at gunpoint and machete in hand. Survived several shootings and because of banging local married women had to fight a half a dozen gun duels against pissed husbands.
Paternal GF: tall and muscular country laborer from Spain, poor as a church mouse, still managed to bang half of the village´s women. The richest family's daughter got pregnant so she could marry him despite not being noble.
Both were muscular as fuck.

My grandpa was a rich alcoholic boxer that beat my dad on a daily basis, once my dad grew big enough to defend himself he stopped fighting him because gramps got scared of my dad, now that grandpa got a divorce living in an apartment and is poor as fuck as has a fucked up liver from years of drinking.
Fuck my grandpa, he never even met me or his own grandchildren and gives no fucks about my dad nor my family, ironically he cares about his daughters who arnt even his blood related children, his daughters came from the local priest believe it or not, also grandma tried to poison me when i was a little kid.
Unrelated, almost got kidnapped by an asian lady when i was a kid if it werent for my grandma on moms side coming to beat the shit out of said asian and taking me back.
>>36985674
I'm actually Vietnamese the generations of my family had kids pretty young. My dad had me when he was 21. My grandpa was part of the ARVN.
grandpa worked in a brick factory for 30+ years. Even today, at 86 years old, his grip strength is stronger than mine and he still has large biceps. One time I shook his hand and he legitimately death gripped it for about 15 seconds and I couldn't break it. I'm not insanely strong but I can deadlift 5 plates, and I use 125's dumbbells to bench. Can't wait till I get old and strong as fuck so I can throw my sons around.
>>36985674
This, shit. Mine was at least in Korea.
My Grandad was a mysterious man. I know he fought in WW2 and later became an infamous poacher under the name "trapper Dan". I asked my great grand mother about it before she died. She said he was "a Nazi that fell from the sky" She was crazy though, So I assume she was just mad because he wasn't Catholic.

Both Grandfathers were in the military so I would assume so
One was in the navy
The other was a colonel in the air force
My maternal granddad was a farmer. My paternal granddad was a coal miner (belt and powerline mover). Both were strong as fuck. Both could kick anyone's ass, which both did when each one kicked a lifter's ass when they tried to hit on my grandmom when they were younger.

My mother's father died when she was very young (also when he was very young - he had a heart attack in his 40s).
My father never talks about his father, and I'm sure there is a reason why.

Neato. One Grandpa drove trucks in WWII, and then got saved from getting drafted by having kids.
Unless I'm remembering the stuff I read in my Vietnam War books, the South Vietnamese special forces were pretty effective, right up until the US military tried to scale them up. IIRC, they were effective at fighting the Vietcong and NVA because they'd use similar guerilla tactics as the Vietcong, but when the US started training battalions of people, they started operating more like conventional forces, and then started to be less effective.
Am I on the right track there? I suppose you might not know very much/aren't interested, but I love military history and I hate being wrong.

Mirin grandad.
>>36989839
Nah m8 I love military history. My understanding of it is that the specially trained forces, who had motivated leadership were very good indeed. But the conventional army suffered from shitty leadership, nepotism under Diem (such as replacing the officers with catholic yes-men) and lack of motivation.
Supposedly though, when the US left after the Paris Peace Accords, the ARVN was able to stand on its own feet for a while because the US underwrote the military expenditure and had been working on "Vietnamitization" by incorporating ARVN units into operations and assigning them some so they gain institutional experience. But after the elections of 1972, Democrats who ran under the "gtfo vietnam" banner did away with that policy and South Vietnam fell because it literally didn't have the munitions to fight on.
Some historians (and this gets pretty heated on /k/ and /his/) argue that the US won the war, because North Vietnam came to terms with the US and South Vietnam at the Paris Peace Accords. But they gambled that a few years later, the US wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain (which was to supply south vietnam with munitions and some air support). Their gamble paid off and South Vietnam fell. I guess that argument is based on whether you want to call the second invasion of South Vietnam a new war or an extension of the previous one.
>>36990039
>>36989839
Regarding the munitions supply problem, I read one figure somewhere that during the height of the war, the ARVN artillery units were rationed at 1000 rounds per day, but in 1974 that was cut down to 100 per week or something like that.
>>36979707
Weights? No.
Heavy shit? Yes.
He was a king of manlets, drank like a sailor (He was a pilot who was shot down in enemy territory in WWII) and came back to open a machine shop in Detroit. I have a picture of the 5'4" man holding up a couch by its corner and balancing it in one hand and holding his wife (my grandmother you faggot) in the other hand.
Mad respect for that crazy little man. Wish I could have gotten to know him better.
>>36979707

>>36979707
Both of my grandfathers were nuclear physicists who became skinny as they got older.
Paternal grandfather was drafted to the Soviet army for a while in the 1960's. Learned a lot of stuff through his time in the army and still teaches me interesting things today. However, work and difficult living conditions in the Ukrainian SSR ensured his current condition as a skelly.
Maternal grandfather was very healthy when he was young and could easily perform 20 pistol squats at 16. After he retired from his career in physics, he started a small bank and became very successful through it before his Russian business partners poisoned him and liquidated it. Since then, his mental and physical health have prevented him from exercising at all.

My paternal grampa fought for the nazis at Stalingrad, he managed to return home somehow, then Romania turned arms and fought for the soviets up until Tatra mountains, he somehow survived that also, he was telling my dad how the Germans were digging up in the snow then waiting for a column to pass them, then the nazi got up from the snow and started machine gunning, the Germans fought until the last one there.
When he got home, he became some sort of priest for the village he lived in (Soviets banned that) and my dad said he became a silent fellow that used to spend all day working on his farm and church and all night reading at a petrol lamp. This 1.90m man never lifted weights or had any sort of decent comfort in his life, but he provided for a family of five. I never met a man like him, I wish I had half his determination.

hello darkness my old friend...
My grandpa is 92, has never done any exercise other than running between business meetings, and he isn't really in "good shape" (has lots of ailments and chronic pain) but he has a very strong will, so he recently bought an exercise bike and has a physiotherapist come over to do some light exercise with him once a week.
It's amazing how much impact a bit of exercise can do. He's been walking with one of those rolling crutches that you see old people use (dunno what they're called) for a few years and if he walks on his own it's really slowly and with lots of pain, but since he's started exercising has he been able to walk up the stairs (Which he hadn't done for 4 years) and has tons more energy.
Love that guy
