Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Strength training helps, a lot.
I wouldn't say there aren't people who are naturally more flexible than average but all the people who are VERY flexible worked for it. The processes that improve your ligaments and muscles in that way require repetition and dedication like any other self improvement.
Still waiting for the day I twist my ankle for the first time. I'm still way too flexible for it to hurt at all when I step off the pavement weirdly.

The reason that bowflex dude was 42 and in the best shape of his life was because at 42 it was the first time he needed to be.
Shit, Anthony Bourdain had six-pack abs at age 61. You're never too old to stop whining about life and start moving some weights around and stop eating so much shitty food.
