Joe Rogan: Guys like me didn't exist 30 years ago

30 years ago your opinion was valid if you had actually achieved something meaningful. Today, guys like Rogan do nothing but talk shit on the Internet and go to the gym, but for some reason some people believe their opinions are valid and even important.

How is that arrogant (having/revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities)? It's true. And I doubt he's trying to take all the credit for it - science and healthcare have developed in 30 years.

Just like it's true that 33yo was "old"/retirement age for every soccer player 20-30 years ago, or that ACL tears were much more career-stifling, if not career-ending.

*take steroids and go to the gym

The covid era legit broke Joe's brain. He was fun when admitting he's an uneducated moron talking about weed and aliens meant "don't take me too seriously," but that all went away. This high school graduate argues world class experts because "yeah but still!"
 
I'm mid-fifties now. No PEDs of any sort (including TRT). Joe thinks mass in his fifties is important and yes that thought process is very much due to his being short. It isn't, functional strength is important. I've learned to let go of my childhood thoughts concerning mass. The staple of my fitness routine is hot power yoga four (sometimes five) days a week at 100+ degree temps (37+ degrees c) and four days a week of moderately heavy lifting where each session is around thirty minutes. Sometimes I switch up the lifting days and do body weight only for high reps. I'm a shade under 6' 1" tall (1.85 meters) and wake up at between 178-180 lbs. I take walks, up to two miles, when the weather is nice. I want my joints to function properly another two decades from now and that is why mass will never play a role in my thoughts again. So many guys from Gen-X who took PEDs or were always chasing that next level mass are totally messed up, physically and psychologically.

I like Joe, enjoy his podcast, but he definitely has some deep seated insecurities with respect to his height and that there may come a day where he isn't "jacked". I currently have some friends and acquaintances who fall into that same train of thought and it's sad. I always think to myself, grow up dude, that time has past. Embrace functional fitness. This isn't to say Joe isn't functionally fit, he is, but he is going to pay a price for the heavy weights and supplements at some point.
 
I would advice him not to take pancreatic cancer if I were him

Touch wood he doesn't take it
I was just using that as an example and money would mean little then

I'm speaking Iike a broke ass, but more to life than money. My cousin is a multi Millionaire, well is dad is and he will die if he doesn't get a new lung soon. He isn't bothered about his porcshe or boat now

@BroRogan dreamed of being a Jester at the Royal Cat Court.
I think I am going to listen to your lovely song again now, I have a headache that new white belt on here 'fries in the bag' is saying everyone would beat Anderson on the roster now and he is clueless on the ground, yeah I'm out for a bit, its giving me a migraine listening to it lol. New Covid Lockdown fans wisdom is too much for me hahaha

30+ years ago most men worked hard jobs as their "workout". When they moved shit it was to accomplish something other than moving something heavy and then setting it back down 70 times. It's like these dumb people who run an hour on the treadmill and then proceed to drive a massive SUV 6 blocks to pick up a starbucks while circling the parking lot trying to find the closest spot to park.
 
30 years ago there were still people on the internet fighting about stupid shit like dis dough.

Name 55 year old in that kind of shape in 1995
Al Beckles won the Niagara Falls Pro Invitational at age 60 in 1991. And that was not some minor show back then. He was good enough to compete in the Mr Olympia the same year. And yes, of course he took drugs to look the way he did. So does Rogan.

Thirty years ago Rogan was capable of being funny and was a regular on one of the best sitcoms ever made, NewsRadio. He wasn't insanely filthy rich, but a plum TV role means he was doing just fine.

I'd rather be that Joe Rogan than this one.

NewsRadio was awesome.
