I got my first one of these when I was 21 and in the best shape of my life. Accidents, injuries, and unpreventable diseases happen, and acting like your comparative good luck means you've made better choices than those who have been less lucky by implying they've been "unhealthy as hell" is kind of gross.

I'm a massage therapist, my job is literally helping people's pain and I see a fuck ton of clients. Luck has just shit to do with it and most people just don't take as good care of themselves as they think. The vast majority of bad backs I see could be prevented or alleviated by having stronger abs and glutes.

Dudes with Hank Hill ass telling me they don't know why their back hurts make me want to scream.
