Gym Selfies **and Daily Motivation

[lemartinsports]

Time for a thread bump.

I had my first workout since Thursday and first chest workout in 11 days. The bad news is I lost some strength, the good news is that chasing losses in the gym is way better than chasing losses in gambling. I'll get back there early tomorrow to keep up the fight.

GL to all the lifters and everyone dealing with pain itt.

Muscle memory is the best thing ever. Glad to see you’re back in it!

I haven’t been to the gym in almost a month now hoping to get back next week. Thank you for the motivation

It all depends on your back, on when you’ll be back lol right. How is your back Le ? As a man with very similar chronic back pain I can totally relate to you hun.

Dude you’re my favorite. My back has been better than it was a couple weeks ago thankfully, but i haven’t been doing anything strenuous. So the day i go back to the gym i gotta try to take it easy

Though I have noticed dancing helps relieve back pain lmao

how’s your back treating you?

Eh mines decent I guess, I get up to 3 steroid injections a year now, & I’m getting my 2nd very soon. All my meds from my doctor are non-narcotic so that’s good. My gym days are 2-3 a week, but nothing EVER strenuous for me those days are over. I don’t do a lot of cardio either, just do full body workouts all the time & that works for me personally the best. It all starts in the kitchen though right, that’s how you really get to see & feel like your body is changing for the better especially when you are my age @ 40.

You should actually be stronger with 11 days off unless you are brand new to lifting. Take a look at your workload and cut it by a third. Good luck!

at least its decent and youre on non narcs, thats good. i always try to avoid medicine in general but back pain is another thing. how well is your diet, like do you cook all of your meals?

for me my issue right now is staying on a stable diet. i always have a nice healthy diet, then something pops up to throw me off and im eating like shit. for example, those frosted cookies from publix have been killing me

Never understood the obsession with the gym and I was a personal trainer. Trust me all you need is some kettlebells, dumbells, and some bands. Best thing is to walk, bike, or swim and do some strength work and get some fresh air.

Freestyle time trials on tap this evening. Years of working in a manufacturing environment created some serious structrural aliginment issues. In addition, muscular over and under development in certain areas. Most concerning of all I was developing concerning neurological disorders according to my doctor.
You got to do what you got to do. Swimming has been a God send.

My diet honestly needs some improvement. You know groceries & eating out for me & my son is getting extremely expensive with inflation along with everything thing else rising. A lot of funny money being thrown around here in the U.S & all around the world. The rich are getting richer & the poor are getting poorer. My point is I have been resorting to less quality foods these days to fit the budget. Although I’m eating less food at the same time with a calorie deficit. No more Whole Foods visits & only go to Publix for BOGO’s. The struggle is real Le for my income level down here in South Florida.

If I didn’t have a son, I’d have a hell of a lot more money to invest in sportsbetting I kid you not lol, but @ the end of the day my son keeps me grounded & gives me a lot of joy. So he’s all worth it.

New week. New thread bump.

Today was my first day back to the gym after tweaking my neck pretty badly early last week. All my lifts went well and no neck pain.

Best of luck to all posters itt in the gym (and out of it) this week.
