For me its not really a strength issue, its pain, and energy. 7 years in the military, and 17 years in the moving business has taken a serious toll on my knees. For the past decade I've been a city P&D driver, while nowhere near as strenuous, it still means I'm typically starting my commute home already physically worn out from the days work.
The daily grind 5 days a week was just adding up to be too much.
