I have a vein showing in my arm even though I am 6'0 225lbs and pretty tubby still.

Vascularity is often tied to ped use and/or high blood pressure. You also naturally get more vascular as you age, and some people are just vascular without any of that other stuff.

Failure is good at times, since the best motivator in the gym is your past failures and anger.

Well piss. This keeps happening to me

Every time I go out dirt biking or something where I go flying and take a blow to the chestal area, I get this crushing bruise on my ribs and can't fully inhale. Happened again this past weekend, and now I can't lift or do anything chest-related really.

I've had X-rays a couple of times when this has happened, but nobody ever finds anything, and I just have to sit and stew for 2-3 weeks or longer while it slooooowly clears up.

I don't think I'm unusually fragile, or at least I don't want to think so, but this happens over and over and it really annoys me

This happens to me but with planking.

Sadly, I'm not joking, it literally hurts to breathe for at least a week after and I have crippling pain from my rib through my upper traps. If I plank without pushing myself it doesn't happen, but if I go all out and hold it for a while after it starts to suck bad it happens way too often. I am so retarded that I somehow injure one of my ribs or something near there.

My advice is to think about what you're doing and what you could do differently. That's how I solved my problem. Dirt biking seems to be not as tame as planking, though. You can't just be like "I'll do 4 sets of 50s instead of trying to hold it for 1:20 3 times".

Oh, I had this happen in bed once. I was laying in bed and suddenly pushed out fiercely against my stomach for some reason. Like a good brace for compound lifts, except without the part where you're tight. I heard a pop and got the same symptoms. It seems to get less bad every time it happens. I think my body just over reacts and gets inflamed in a dumb spot. I probably did bruise a rib or something at some point and it seems vulnerable to minor reinjury.

Yeah, usually it's impact that does it, but it's also happened when I was working on cars or the like (I was draping myself over a door sill to work on the pedals and suddenly I felt a pop and OOHH URRGHGHH GOOOODDD welp

Sweet, thanks, now I know bruised ribs are a thing. I don't know whether I'm more susceptible to them than most, but I keep getting told to suck it up and be more manly, so maybe I just need to practice.

Haha lol wikihow

quote:

Manage your breathing. Before, the most commonly recommended treatment for bruised ribs was wrapping the ribcage in a compression bandage. Turns out that's a terrible idea, because restricted breathing can lead to complications like pneumonia. Repeat: don't wrap your ribs in an elastic compression bandage.

I love getting contradictory advice from different sources

Especially since you're definitely not taking shallower breaths anyway, that's definitely not restricted breathing :rolleyes:

That makes no sense. There are only 7 days in a week. If you go every other day that is 3.5 times a week.

Reminds me of the old dude I saw a couple of days ago, he just stood 2 meters away from the hottest girl in the gym and stared for five minutes. I stare just as much but I use the mirror technique since I think that makes me less creepy.

Same level of creepy, but you are only creepy if you get caught.
