Short answer, I got older and the years caught up. My biggest issues are worn out elbows, tendonitis in both, both knees, and both hips. A lot of high mileage in my youth. Some of the hip issues would have been solved if I knew then what I know now about proper technique and form while running.Hello,
@Bunn
Considering your pretty active life, how did you notice you got beaten up ? What were the "symptoms" ?
Kind regards,

Hello @Pavel Macek
I get your point. I guess this is a matter of purpose, as you just stated.
Nonetheless, as a more general question, why the does military (including elite forces then) keep using this kind of methodology for ages to select and train the soldiers ? Indeed, if they are not healthy they can not perform. It remains - at least for me - difficult to consider that the best soliders we have are not healthy.
Kind regards,

I personally prefer.
- relatively low reps (up to 5) for strength
- relatively high reps (dozens - usually matching my age, well, every year one damned rep more... ) as "weighted mobility" for movement variety and healthy joints. Very easy exercises of course, such as Hindu pushups, back bridges, Hack squats, and so on.
Staying in the middle means not many strength gains, and getting quite sore.
