I have been doing this for over 27 years, and used to think I was indestructible. Time has a way of slowly chipping away at your body. I used to work out religiously into my early 40's, then my shoulders started bothering me. All of those years of grabbing a hand rail in a high step truck. Everyone's body is different, and some folks will hold up better than others. All it takes is one wrong move on a day you are tired and over dispatched to damage your body. There are guys at my building with less than 10 years in, and their knees are already shot. Could be genetic, who knows. However, i do agree that a person must work as safe as possible.</p></blockquote><p></p>
