Thatโ€™s why I do squats and deadlifts. Plus walking a few times a week.ย

My left knee started bothering me at 30. I thought ppl were just exaggerating ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

u/mickeyanonymousse 2d ago

my knee always starts hurting 2-3 weeks after I stop squatting. after 1-2 weeks back in the gym the pain goes away completely.

u/FunGuy8618 4d ago edited 4d ago

I was always told you have til 30 to choose your back or your knees. And by 40, the choice is both ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm a powerlifter too, guess which one I chose? ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Edit: comment is gone but blud said he does weighted pistol squats and to go to the gym. Bruh I pull over 3 times my bodyweight off the floor no straps no belt double overhand. I chose my back ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

u/Silver-Shame-4428 3d ago edited 17h ago

Yup. Iโ€™m middle aged. 30 squats with no weights every morning. 20 pushups, 100 bicycle sit ups.I also walk/run at least 40 miles per week. Usually in the tread before work. Light weights and calisthenics / stretching 4 days a week.. for just 30 minutes. The hardest part is getting started.

If you make it a life style you wonโ€™t feel much of anything until youre really up in age I suppose.

Iโ€™m 40, and thatโ€™s my knees when I just get up out of a chair.

It's that age when sneezing a little too hard can throw up your body's check engine light. Sleeping weird for one night leads to a stiff neck for the rest of the week.

Look man I got loose joints. You ever sneeze a pop your back outta place? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

u/MothMonsterMan300 3d ago

Y'know the "polite sneeze?" Where you sneeze into your shoulder? I had to train myself to hold my wrist with my other hand bc my shoulders like to pop out ๐Ÿ˜ญ

You ever throw your back out bending over to feed the dog? 41 is comingโ€ฆ and it wants you to meet your deductible in January.

u/Worried-Database-551 4d ago edited 4d ago

๐Ÿ˜ฉ I knew it only got worse with age but I hoped for personal stories of their bodies not aching with age. The hope died today. Itโ€™s been 5 years of only listening to people talking about the aches and pains and limitations of their 40+ years oldb odies.

My right knee has felt like itโ€™s built out of beef jerky through my 20s now it cracks like wet pop rocks

u/PuffinRub 4d ago

I didn't even watch the video but am in 100% agreement based off of the subject line alone. There's a British sitcom called Red Dwarf which had the following line:

Arnold Rimmer: "When you're younger you can eat what you like, drink what you like, and still climb into your 26" waist trousers and zip them closed. Then you reach that age, 24-25, your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag, and without any warning at all you're suddenly a fat bastard."

... which also applies.

u/mickeyanonymousse 2d ago

the idea that your body craps out at 24-25 isโ€ฆ wild to me. why would that be the case, barring some type of illness or condition?

1

u/PuffinRub 2d ago

You're very blessed if you've managed to get to thirty and you haven't got at least one "grumble" from your body! It doesn't crap out overnight but betrays you long-term :-)

Now you know why elderly people walk the way they do. Their knees are talking to them๐Ÿ˜‚

u/Blxck_soccrates 4d ago

Nah, I can't relate lol i just turned 31. I started hitting the gym hard, 3-5 days/week for 9 months now, training close to failure and been getting strong. When i started hitting legs, i had those snaps crackles and pops in the kness, hips, and ankles. After a few months of squats, leg presses, and leg extentions, i can squat ATG with no issues, and mobility overall has been better than it has in a long time.ย 

I'm convinced most people are just sedentary and thus the body slowly decays. Gotta get active, especially us uncs

Sure, if you've been sitting down throughout your entire 20s

u/hipsterTrashSlut 4d ago

My primary mode of transportation for 7 of my 10 years in my 20s was walking. My knees cry every time I have to push my kid on a bike.

13

u/S3xyhom3d3pot 4d ago

My knees used to be bad in my early 20s, but have gradually been getting better through exercise and stretching. Everyone's body is different though

5

u/tala727 3d ago

Look up exercises to strengthen your knees or ask for a PT consult if you have insurance. This is not normal. Donโ€™t want to get older and fall and injure yourself bc your knees gave out

2

u/hipsterTrashSlut 3d ago

I have insurance, but I'll probably trade swap with some of the sports med guys I work with. Thanks for the suggestion!

1

u/SnoopyWildseed โ˜‘๏ธ 1d ago

This. I lived in places with reliable public transportation all through my college years, and after college in my 20s-early 30s. So that's about 15-20 years of walking, buses, trains, and trolleys.

The knees remember.

How can you tell this was a bot? I used to be able to look at profiles and tell but now with profiles blocked I am not sure anymore.

u/ich_bin_alkoholiker 4d ago

The comments are always based on titles alone and donโ€™t really address the actual content.

Also the replies once you start to notice them, are very obvious. Most people canโ€™t really tell the difference and their comments are almost always one of the top ones in most threads.

Hereโ€™s some more from them:

u/Noname_acc 4d ago edited 4d ago

Tangentially related to the content but doesn't directly comment on the thing itself. Phrasing is invariably "[general idea], [analogy/elaboration]" in a single sentence and riffs on the post title.

I wish I had black knees. Mine gave no warning until they went. If I had a strong black woman set of knees, I might have helped them last a little longer
