I can smile for a camera in this position too!
I never (rarley) ask anyone to treat me differently nor do I baby myself while training or rolling. It is when I get home and can't lift my arms to shampoo my hair or can't walk in the morning that I pay my dues.
Just for the record, on top of being 36 I am 5' 5" and 140lbs

I focus on technique and speed, not matching strength (most of the time).
