As my foot hurt while doing them, I contemplated Aragorn, and Jesus. They both suffered hardship and pain but kept going anyway. Just a little tip for you guys in case a work out feels hard.

Fuel your lifts with unquenchable rage

Weightlifting lets you feel good about yourself while simultaneously feel completely unsatisfied with yourself.

I lift because I hate my body, and I want to punish it.

Hey guys do we need this tendon?


That's actually a really cool gif - you can see that she can't plantar flex her foot after the tendon pops.

What am I, a doctor?

I unracked the bar a little tight on my neck but it wasn't too uncomfortable, so I tried going with it. Oops. It was at the end of my session and I thought maybe I didn't eat enough, but I recovered quickly. I was mostly just working on form, which surprisingly is complete poo poo, so I luckily wasn't going too heavy. It's apparently not the most uncommon thing. You can find a bunch of videos on yt of dudes passing out.

That's vasovagal syncope, not compressing the major blood vessels that go to your head

FYI - Squats are totally possible with a cracked tailbone. Comfort, however... Not so much.

So I'm guessing squeezing of the glutes is torturous right now? Though bit much you can really do for it besides not sitting down I guess.

Sitting, standing up from seated position, lying on my back...

Thought about a cortisone shot, but then I figured turn the pain into anger, and anger into lifting power.

gently caress my rear end, literally and figuratively.

Jesus christ I'm probably clinically brain dead until about 10am every morning, I can't imagine trying to lift like that

Ask me about my decade old, upper back trigger point from somehow screwing up a barbell row.

Also I am back to lifting after getting all my health poo poo resolved!

Anybody do ice baths/cold therapy/whatever after workouts? Was watching Eddie Hall on youtube and he has one of those cold chamber deals, kinda interesting but feels super bro-sciency to me.

I tried cold showers for a while. I found zero benefit to it other than discomfort.

Basically my experience too, although cool showers feel pretty good for cooling off.

There's evidence it blunts hypertrophy

Wondered about this too, but it's not like I'm hypertrophying much at age 50...

I have a couple of reheatable pads you stick in the microwave, I heat those up and toss them on the bar prior to deads. It's fine.
