Cool Who would win a fight? You now or you in HS.?

If you had to fight yourself, who would win the fight? The younger you, as you were back in HS, or you as you are now?

Personally , Now at 41, I would kick the crap out of me the way I was back in HS. I'm in much better shape now than I ever was. Plus I was much more of a laid bck wuss back then.

LOL!! How do you think this crap up?? Regardless I like it.

I weighed 125 lbs in HS and was scrawny. I made it my mission when I was 18-22 years old to bulk up. PB&J was my best friend.

I would kill my HS version.

Let's see, I'm 27 now.

In high school I was lazy and out-of-shape. I weighed 195 and could bench press maybe 155 on a good day.

Now I weigh 240 and rep 315 on the bench press. I run and bike.

The younger me might be able to run faster (less weight to carry), but if I caught the younger me, I'd kick his ass.

Tabby is slow and over weight...hey that was me in HS too...

I go with ....old age and guile....when U get older U realize your not as fast as U once were....so you gotta cheat a bit....

Not only that, but Tabby can kick all of your asses right now....even being slow and overweigh...and how pray tell us Tabby do U know this? Simple I have been able to goad all of you into being REACTIVE and not maintaining a proactive stance...that means I can make you make mistakes and those will cost you.

sand_man in HS would have his head handed to him if he had a run-in with the sand_man of today!

In terms of psychotic rage and invulnerability to pain, high school me (I have scars)

In terms of brute strength and calmness, I'd destroy the high school version of me.

High school Moses and present-day Moses would work it out and have a beer together. I've always channeled my testosterone toward more rewarding goals.

yep..years of powerlifting and doing 'push/pull' contests..even at 40, i still have a 405 bench, 500 squat, 520 deadlift (as of last test a month ago..i strength train for 6 weeks after every 3-month period, but i do personal training). i'm 6'2" and 240 now...in high school, as a senior, i was the same height, but 180 and had maybe a 200-lb bench. i've never had to 'scrap' that often i think due to my size, but if i had to wrestle the old me, i'm sure it would be a no-brainer. unless the young me cheated and rabbit punched me in the nuts!

I'm 46, (for another week), and I'd slap that little punk to sleep and then slap him for sleeping.

I could probably kick H.S. me's a$$, but I wouldn't; I'd be telling him how to get chicks.
