Permanent metabolic/hormonal damage

You're looking for something to blame either than yourself or are trying to find a reason to give up
Fuck off and go lift. Fuck thinking about the shit you can't change and fix what can.
Tl; dr quit being a faggot and lift

Dude I'm not giving up on anything. I'm lifting, and I don't plan on quitting.

Im just curious how much is affected to what extent. And if there's further reading on the subject

Even if it did you'd be able to fix it through being at a healthy body fat and living a healthy lifestyle

If it caused some real problems you'd have seen a doctor by now

>>38919345
Honestly, probably not much. And you're still young enough that your hormone profile is likely decent enough to reverse any damage done if you work hard to do it now.

The kind of thing you're describing only happens through decades of prolonged self abuse. The body is very good at repairing itself.

But wouldn't the fact that I fucked my hormones and health so hard in my developmental years have a longlasting effect?

I mean...

Think about how it's always said: "don't smoke marijuana before 18! Don't do drugs before 18!"

And there's evidence to support marijuana affecting your cognitive function if you begin before 18. So why wouldn't sleep deprivation and fucking up hormonal balance affect you EVEN MORE SO?

This.

Op youre focusing on very insignifant details. The reason you find lifting difficult is cause you never lifted before. Get to the gym fgt. I was on the same boat as you. 5x5 and diet for 1 year and youre g2g

diet, exercise, sleep and general mental state and well-being all affect your hormonal balance. I'd start with diet, exercise and sleep

No, because sleep deprivation is something you're DESIGNED to deal with. Especially as a teenager.

It isn't OPTIMAL, sure. But it's a completely different thing from taking an exogenous substance with specific clinical effects that's known to fuck with your head.

(Also, cannabis can screw you up badly regardless of age if done over a long enough period. This has been known for quite some time, but there's a huge lobby for its legalisation in most western countries that spends a lot of money to distract from the facts, much like the tobacco lobby has been known to do.)

And one more thing:

Even if you'd not been fat or sleep deprived, you'd effectively have been doing similar damage to your body simply by being sedentary. Humans simply aren't physiologically normal without regular, intense physical exertion –even if they seem just fine on the outside.

But the rate at which things just fix themselve when you start applying that effort will astound you, as I'm sure many others here will attest. Trust us, you're no special snowflake in this regard, and you really, REALLY don't want to be one. Because if what we're saying doesn't apply to you (and you'd know if it didn't because you would have had to see a doctor about it by now) then you'd likely be too fucked to even be having this conversation.

I've just had a lot of issues and im starting to wonder if that's due partly or majorly to my teenage years senpai

Guess you're right though

>>38919345
>hey guys i've misused my body my entire life
>never tried to fix it
>now it looks like shit

>i should try some drastic shit instead of trying to fix it like normal people, right?

Just lift you moron.
