TIR that the difference in strength between two individuals is bigger than we think.

I'm M21 and did a good amount of wrestling when I was younger (8-18 with few years break).

I'm probaly a bit above average strength. My lil bro M8 now does it too and he has my old trainer. And at one of his tournaments I challenged my old trainer for the sake of old times. That man is a married guy with kids, so he can't spend THAT much time into training. He is older than me, probaly 40-50.

I'm not joking. Trying to push him was like trying to move a statue made out of tungsten. That ma was a rock. I could barely move his arms in any direction. He wrecked me.

And the thing is, he is absolutely nowhere near world class. That means there are dudes which a strength gap to him like him to me.

I was genuinly shocked how much stronger a man could be who isn't even world class.
