Oh pleeease. *****, I will argue against that idea any day. My father is 62 years old (I'm 21) and if it came down to a test of arm strength/torque... despite the fact that I've become stronger than him, he by NO means has "lost" any significant amount of strength. He still works for CAT, as an Audio/Visual Tech Manager, lifting heavy equipment (such as powered speakers, amps, etc.), and I've never once heard him say he feels as though he isn't strong enough to do it anymore.
Let me put it this way... (
and do understand this is absolutely hypothetical, as I love my dad)...
If he and I got into a fight:
If we were both sober, I'd kick his butt!
If we were both under the influence of alcohol, my butt would be on the ground
real darn fast (ergo, he'd kick my butt)!
It sounds bass-ackwards, but... as country folks, when it comes to car mechanics, we're smarter, better, and stronger after a few drinks.
That's just the way the cookie crumbles 'round here.
