Current Events > Could you beat the you from 8 years ago in a fight?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well??

Fuck no.
I was way more in shape than I currently am now.

I get winded if I try to sprint one block, like I can still run kinda fast I just cant hold the speed for very long.

I really need to start exercising more often these days >__>

Eh, would be close. I am older now, but I have been getting fitter, to where I would give young me a run for his money, but I am still heavier. Also he has less plastic messing up his brain, and doesn't have post-COVID messing it up further.

Let's do just 5 minutes of running every other day this week. It will come back fast

lawlbruhnah

id get mah ass beat and circled around like nothing

Its hard saying.

I'm physically stronger but also much less energy and endurance.

No. He was a bit more physically fit and still thought he had something to live for.

Recovering from chemo 8 years ago so yeah

Nah I still exercised regularly back then and while I wasn't still practicing martial arts it was way more fresh in my mind compared to now

Nah 8 years ago I was doing a more physically demanding job and was lighter. My strength aint shit these days lol.

I'm stronger and in better overall shape now and more confident than 8 years ago
(50 vs 42) so I think I could

Probably. 39yo me was in a shitty marriage with no self esteem

duel or invasion?

if we're talking like, neutral territory both bloodlusted taco tuesday no items that fight goes to younger me every time. beefier and better reflexes.

if i get to play the field and try to get a drop on him that changes things i think.

Probably. The me from eight years ago has that Thanos thing going on where deep down he really wants to lose.

Yeah. I actually exercise some now and weigh less, so I think I could take him.

This is true for me too, although theres other factors. My technique is better as Ive got 8 additional years of experience, but I also have slower reflexes.

I'm stronger and bigger.

He's way faster and in infinitely better shape.

He wins mid difficulty 8/10 times.

No. I was lifting 4 days a weak back then and was getting into pretty good shape.

Ironically probably yes. Due to health issues I go to the gym more (as in 3 times a week now, vs not once in a year before). So although I'm older I'm probably stronger and faster, I know my endurance is way up.

So where is that punk ass 'me from 8 years ago' tell him I'll fight him any time any where!

No I went to the gym back then

23 year old me is crazier, but 31 year old me has had Boxing lessons

If 31 year old you has been doing it for a while and isnt completely shit, he should wipe the floor with 23 year old you who has never boxed.

I started going to the gym 2 years ago. 8 years ago I was pretty out of shape. I could definitely take him.

I actually exercise now, so probably lmao

I was heavier and stronger back then, but I've since taken both Muay Thai and boxing while still powerlifting. I'd destroy that big lunk and then steal his girlfriend.

Drastically stronger now and iirc i was suffering from a minor back injury that year. Current me would destroy

I've been doing it for a few months. but I've been slacking the last few weeks

He's got like 70 pounds on me.

Tie.

Current me at 48 is no better or worse than 40 year old me. We would both take far longer to recover than we did in our youth.

probably easily, since I'd only be about 4 months recovered from ankle surgery

I was jacked and on cocaine so probably not

Nope. 8 years ago I weighed over a stone more (I was 77kg, I'm now 69kg) but I was pretty active - gym sessions every working day, walking 20,000 steps a day for work - nowadays I barely hit my half an hour exercise goal and I probably walk 5,000 steps a day because I work from home.

Younger L&T was somewhat in shape, older L&T is just thin.

God no lmao.

I was only a few years removed from hockey and football and weighed 37 pounds more back then.

I can barely lift my right arm and my left hand very likely has a hairline, so I think younger me would easily win. I was also probably 20-30lbs bigger, too

Probably not a massive factor then.

hell no. i was ridiculous in 2016. working on getting back there, tho.

Abso-fucking-lutely lol

I was a butterball with zero muscle tone. I don't know how to fight any more than I did then but I have to think that being in much better shape gives me better odds.

Probably not, I was in better shape and full of anger back then

No. I was eight years younger eight years ago.

Perhaps. I know more now. Health wise I'm worse but I'm slimmer and quicker than I was then and have actually learned how to actually throw a proper punch since then, not to mention I was assaulted about a year ago so I got that experience. I won that fight btw without throwing a punch.
