@freshyfresh i find it so ironic that you are here lecturing me. Aren’t you doing strongman? I see you in your journal shouldering 215# stones???
Let me inform you what I’ve seen in strongman, I’ve seen a guy just lift a 230ish stone off the ground, popped his hamstring, he left in a stretcher. In the super yoke one year the guy who went right after me with 710# walked halfway, went down, blew out his knee, he left in stretcher. I saw another guy rip his bicep flipping a tire.
I myself had 1-bad injury to my mid back on the super-yoke in training, took 6-months to heal, that was 20 fracking years ago too, I healed, no issues from that.
All these guys have come back. One guy actually had open heart surgery just from his health, he was a fat strongman, he still trains. Our state chairman blew out everything from the big 3 before he got into strongman. He still trains, he’s over 60 now, deadlifts 475# still.
C’mon man if everything heals why didn’t Ronnie’s injuries heal?
Do you have literally anything better to do than post paragraphs about the dumb takes you have?
Here’s a list of hobbies to look into:
Running
Crossfit
Walking
Sewing
Volunteering
Reading
Sitting in silence if you have nothing useful to say
Forgot to respond to this part. I actually am not any more. I train with strongman equipment but I do not like the local community. The majority are all very weird but you’d like them. I’m going to start playing actual athletic sports again
@freshyfresh you are missing the point, everything heals if you address and don’t do stupid stuff like, I’ll say it again, masking pain by wrapping up or using pain relief drugs and continuing to lift top weights.
Go ahead and do real athletics, as you get older doing them, you’ll also be doing lots of rehab stuff cause you aren’t going to be 100percent pain free from it.
Just keep in mind everything heals, it takes work and the right work, but everything heals.
This isn’t true. Some injuries do not heal 100%. Here’s the thing, it’s not about not repeating something stupid; it’s about not doing something stupid in the first place.
@zecarlo humans are not capable of not doing stupid stuff.
As I said if you want people to not do stupid stuff, DONT play sports. Why do we need sports???
Throwing a ball around and pushing oneself for it is STUPID!
Start another thread of your own own, please, and jump off this one. Call it “I know everything. You are wrong.“
You and a few other characters have completely derailed this one.
Compound lifts progressively overloaded will get you stronger and bigger muscles. Motion is lotion, so make sure to move through full ROM on all joints as often as possible. Focus on eating lean meats and veggies/fruits, backfill with starchy carbs to meet your energy/caloric needs at the time. Consistently doing things well is much better than inconsistently doing things perfect. Being in good cardio shape feels better than being strong, so don’t sacrifice cardio ability.
