DukeTheSlaya's Journey to Overhead Pressing Like a God

Look I’m your age too man, so I’m not ever going to try give you advice, but if you need a chat or something hit me up on IG or something. jason_aggarwal

Hang in there, don’t do anything rash. When you’re emotional you do stupid things, I know, I’ve done them.

@IronOne

couldn’t imagine going through this when I was 14. Not going to try to give any advice other than give real thought to each decision you make. Take emotion out of it as much as you can, and think in terms of how each decision will affect you now and a few years down the line. Don’t think you can really think beyond that at this point.

If you were to move back in with your dad, could you cope? Training has to stay part of your life. Could you set ground rules with him? You’ve got cash, does your dad have space for squat stands, weights, a BB, and adjustable DB handles? This takes very little room!

Think through this. You can figure it out. Got to stay in school! It’s not time for you to be working for a living bud.

Thankyou @IronOne . At this stage i dont think living with dad is really an option. i have some important decisions to make i guess. Im trying not to be emotional about it but im trying to clear my head atm.

@danteism

Before you read: be aware of the fact that I’m by no means pressing you to move on your own, nor am I even advocating it. I’m just trying to tell you what it would be like

@danteism thankyou very much man. If i end up having to live by myself, I’m okay with it i guess. If it means no Netflix, No Ps4 no salmon or expensive shit then thats fine i guess. Il live off of milk and oats and bread if i have to. ( not saying this is all id eat, just if it is all i could afford)

Its okay if i have to grow up real fast - its not pleasant but i have to become an adult sometime anyway

@MarkKO

One of those things I keep thinking about

I have the spud ratchet belt. I found it used on eBay for around $30. I like it a lot for carries, stones, and log. Not as much for deadlifts and yoke.

[T3hPwnisher]

I have a spud belt. By soft belt though, I mean like this

Damn. Cant get a decent photo. Search “rehband soft belt”

Those big wide support belts people wear underneath stiff belts

[brady888]

@T3hPwnisher

Search “rehband soft belt”

Oh, gotcha. I think I’m too cheap and too inexperienced for one. I have a really thin (maybe 3mm) leather belt that I use if I don’t feel like cranking down an actual belt.

[T3hPwnisher]

Yeah; one of those “nice to haves” that just hasn’t made it on my list yet.

[painter27]

Shit man. That all sucks, Hopefully all this gets sorted and you can at least get some stability back.

[cdmac24]

Holy shit, @duketheslaya - I wanted to comment on your arm pics and say that you’re crushing those CGB reps and your triceps are kicking ass!

On the whole home situation - like everyone else has said, keep your wits about you and try go get some advice/assistance from someone older who you can trust to help you set out the options.

This too shall pass but in the short term, keep your head up! Praying you find a workable solution to this mess.
