It's because a diet loaded with Tang and Hotdogs matched up with a pack a day habit plus a long uphill walk, both ways, in the snow, to get to school.... makes one fit. maybe they could fix this by making the buttons on game controllers a lot harder to push. |

Harder buttons would be like going back to having to blow in your video game cartridges to make them work. |

I blame this on the computers. People used to do things like cut wood with an ax. Not so much anymore. This would create grip strength. However, you would think that gripping a video game controller, gripping a cell phone, or gripping your joystick during sessions of online porn would make up for this loss of manual labor. |

Grip strength measured via a hand dynamometer is NOT correlated with climbing ability. |

Part of the reason I liked doing Forestry work was the conditioning I received from squeezing the trigger on a marking gun thousands of times a day. About two years ago the majority of techs switched to air-compressor-filled pressurized tank systems. |
