gonna be 32 in 2 weeks been lifting 5-6 days a week since september of last year able to lift around 2-3 what i came in there at mattering on what im working out

39 years old. Looking at the hill of beeing 40 next year.

Don’t feel any apprehension whatsoever.

My hair is still going.
Injuries take longer to heal. So my kickboxing is slowing down (the sparring at the very least)
Good paying job I enjoy.
Time with my kids.
Lifts getting stronger.


Feel pretty good. Yesterday my 8’year old hyped me up to his friends about my squat beeing 400 lbs. and one of his friends cries out “thats impossible”

Still strongest of the dads at cups.

Herniated disk squatting too low + heavy. 6 months later, can't squat or DL. How fucked?

>>74200276
Fuck. Noted, thanks.
>>
Here's the thing bro. It's fucked for life. It doesn't heal. All you can do is make it less bad. Look up McKenzie exercises and do them 3x per day. Do minimal back volume; just enough to grow and no more. You'll learn what aggravates it and what calms it down (usually just not messing with it). You will likely never deadlift 4 plate. Just have to make peace with it. If it's bad enough you can get shots.
Your limiting factor from now on won't be your strength, but your spine stability that day. Some days you can lift big. Some days you can't lift half that without pain. Do not lift through the pain. Some days you'll lift and then randomly your leg hurts to walk on for a few hours. You're in for a new lifestyle now bro. It's not that bad; you can get used to a lot of shit.
>>
>another one down

I told you about squats and deadlifts bro. I fucking told you. But you wouldn't listen

It will heal if you give it time and leave it alone. Don't do anything that hurts or makes you feel discomfort. It took three months for me

Thanks, and I appreciate the honesty. Some things are too good to be true.
>>74200338
And you know what's crazy, I thought I was doing a good job! I knew about buttwink, and I thought I had minimized it enough. To be fair, what I didn't know was that if I have that weird precursor pain that just feels like a little tweak it could explode into something much worse. In all honesty, I was rather diligent; there's conflicting information out there on best practices. I bought into the "lower is better" shit just enough to get burned. Of course, looking back now, knowing, the signs are obvious, but in hindsight, it's hard to say that if I'd just read harder I could've prevented this. I'd say I would've been better to have gotten into a real-life lifting community or to have found a coach or something.

>>74200281
I am convinced that working through pain heals it quicker than resting it in cases where the pain isn't due to some direct structural damage like a complete tear or something
The injury needs blood flow and use
Just don't make it worse, it might still hurt when you use it but it might then heal
I had a, I think rotator cuff injury recently which lead to pain when I lifted my arm at certain angles. I rested it for a few weeks with no change so I just went back to doing what I was doing and it healed two weeks later.

>wrist pain
>can't tell anyone because they always make a masturbation joke

>>74200312
This is empirically true for muscle injuries and connective tissue INJURIES. You need to do high reps low weight to heal those quickly. This is not true for joint problems like arthritis nor spine problems.
OP, try intentionally inflaming the area vs exercise until it hurts so bad you can't continue. Then the next day it will be better.

Does losing weight really make you look older? I want to lose weight to look better, not worse. Are only old people affected this way? Could a spry youth of only 27 lose weight and look younger?

Also OP if you’re not fat you just want to go from 15% bf to 10% bf yes it ages you and in a lot of cases having a bit more fat is more attractive and I apologize for everything i said. But youre probably just a fattie 40% bf

Depends on your percentage levels. Going from fat fuck to a healthy body fat percent will take decades off of your perceived age. Going to below 12%-15% will skeletonize you, making you look older

Caffeine seems to be the only psychoactive drug that actually does something that is good for you to habitually use long term. I guess nicotine sort of is but it seems to cause more problems leaving aside the usual unhealthy delivery mechanisms

Or don't live for yourself and be like this unhappy faggot. Your choice op.

i neglected my deadlifts and they are weak asf:

>245 lbs with the hexbar flipped for reps of one, did like 5-6 reps, and a couple warm up reps at 225lbs.

i can bench 225 lbs for 4 reps @ 162 lbs but ive only been squatting and benching until today. I noticed I was dropping weight like crazy (lost 12 lbs in ~5-6 weeks) and I realized that the deadlifts are the best compound for GAINING MASS.

thank you for reading my blog.

yeah the only calisthenicstards that are big are the ones that do weighted calisthenics and ignore the skill aspect of the sport. planches and levers and other shit like that don't build mass. inverted rows are real rows as long as you weight them like any other exercise, and they don't fatigue your lower back like bent over rows. win win imo

One one hand, it gives them a physical confirmation that they have a problem so the bad things in their life aren't their fault or in their control
Escapism, in a way
Talking about it helps them cope with their problems, whether they genuinely suffer from what they medicate for or not

On the other hand, i'm not a medical professional
I'm assumes most of these issues are fixable with a little mental fortitude and aren't genuine (although i'm sure there are those who do need some medication for irreversible brain worms)
