V 'hello I am in my 40s' toot, but a few months back I started sitting on the floor a lot more and getting up without using my hands and I'm really noticing better flexibility and strength, would recommend

I'm strong in a very specific limited way, but also I'm about 90kg and my body is mostly a dopey hulk which crashes about the place, so working on my functional strength seemed to be a good idea...

(also being able to get up after a fall is an important not-dying skill)

For real tho, I lift heavy with low reps and after over a year of doing this I"m very strong but entirely unsupple or springy, or fast, almost as if ones body adapts to the specific demands placed on it, groundbreaking
@phil This is why I do jujitsu, which is mostly advanced forms of falling over (with some help) and getting up again.
