Hear! hear!

There’s also a strong correlation between leg/glutes strength and longevity. Also, a correlation between grip strength and superior cognitive function as one ages. Keep doing those pull-ups, kettlebell swings and, if possible, toes to the bar.

My present situation in St John with three of my favorites, one of whom (remaining nameless) joined us for dinner.  My legs are second from the left

Reminds me of a story a month or so ago about a cruise ship that ended up in St. John, New Brunswick rather than Bermuda. Weather related but were the passengers pissed!
