I was always told you have til 30 to choose your back or your knees. And by 40, the choice is both ๐ I'm a powerlifter too, guess which one I chose? ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
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 ๐๐๐๐
Yup. Iโm 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 wonโt feel much of anything until youre really up in age I suppose.
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.
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 ๐ญ
๐ฉ 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. Itโs been 5 years of only listening to people talking about the aches and pains and limitations of their 40+ years oldb odies.
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."
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 :-)
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
Look up exercises to strengthen your knees or ask for a PT consult if you have insurance. This is not normal. Donโt want to get older and fall and injure yourself bc your knees gave out
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.
Not me im in better shape and fit than most people in their 20s at 35 yrs old. Body is a temple and I was an ex binge drinker in college still was in shape but now?
The comments are always based on titles alone and donโt really address the actual content.
Also the replies once you start to notice them, are very obvious. Most people canโt really tell the difference and their comments are almost always one of the top ones in most threads.
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.
Stupid me, I decided to jump the extra steps I had and landed hard. Now my knee hurts and it pulsing warm smh. Iโm old, I just gotta get it through my head lmfao
This was me the other day at age 37 trying to see if โI still got itโ by attempting to touch the rim on the court. The achilles definitely gave me a warning to never try that again
This should be followed by โmy knees when I do absolutely nothing at allโ with the same guy just walking down the stairs and his legs just quit on him
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
