January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

average man who takes care of himself and leads a fairly vigorous life can
actually become stronger in his mid to late thirties,and even into his early to
mid forties than he was in his twenties.( Please forgive my run on sentences
)This could be even more pronounced in a professional athlete.Very often men
fill out in musculature,thicker necks,heavier thighs,calves,forearms,as they
mature.They will lose speed and reflexes,and thicken in the waist and
hips.However,if thier in training,the thickening of the waist,lower back,and
hips could actually be an increase in muscle.I would site as an example the
sports of power lifting and olympic lifting.This premise leads me to believe
that the older version of Forman might have given Ali a much better fight. Hey
Kent and Jimmy D.,HOW ABOUT THOSE EAGLES! I can,t believe the balence and
execution of the Patriots! At least we gave them a better game than the Steelers
did.Even though the Steelers spanked us this season. |

Eagles looked very good in almost winning it all. They have nothing to be
ashamed of in losing a close game.I just hope the Eagles fans will not
become as frustrated as us Jerry Quarry fans can be and that almost winning the
title will be enough for them.|

whole life as a sports fan being frustated and angry as a fan of Jerry Quarry
and the Eagles.Now ,as an older man,I realize that you have to view sports in
thier proper perspective,relative to your life.The important thing about Jerry
Quarry is that he allways gave his heart and soul to his sport.Thats all you can
do.That makes him a hero in my book!What are your thoughts on my opinion about
older athletes sometimes improving with age?|
|2/9/05 01:36:01 PM|Steve|N.J.||dmmsrm2comcast.net||||10|Hey Kent and Angelo,and
Gerri,while I agree and disagree with all your different political views,I find
them all pretty intellegent and insightfull.Oh yes,and Noam sounds like a very
inteligent,thoughtfull person.Even with the occasional silly and sometimes nasty
comments,I feel no reason to use a false E-mail address.I have enjoyed this site
for many years,and I don't believe anyone means any real harm.Not even Koo Koo
clock,who has has had some pretty astute observations. |
|2/9/05 03:04:14 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Steve - I think men can get stronger
when they age up to a point of say, 50, if they keep working out. They need to
work a lot harder though, but after 50 it is probably downhill. Reflexes suffer
from perhaps age 30 onwards.I remember reading comments by Foreman a
year or so ago when he described Lewis as the best heavyweight ever. I don't
agree, but that is what Foreman said. George has a habit of making comments off
the top of his head sometimes, without really meaning them.Regards e-
mail addresses. The fact is there are lunatics out there who do, given the
opportunity, play nasty tricks on the computers of others. All they need is a
correct e-mail address. It is also a fact that Gerry, when people
disagreed with him, threatened to beat them up. He even offered to pay his own
air fares to do it.While Gerry losing it like that was very funny (and
also a bit sad), it did illustrate the need to be careful because you just don't
know who the real lunatics are from the hopelessly ignorant and ludicrously
funny ones like Gerry. By the way, on one hand Gerry complains about
false names and addresses, and then he posts here under a false name and address
(ie. 'Fan'). |

people can get stronger into their 40's, but as pointed out, they lose speed and
reflexes. A guy built like Holmes did very well for himself into his 40s---he
never let himself get way out of shape---retained some power, did lose speed,
but his legs and lower body were strong as ever and his stamina was very good.|

to be some serious boxing fans here. I wonder why they all left? They are run
