Well, that's it for me...

Dude you were gone for a year...

If I took a year off lifting I'd literally start from zero again. Why would you even bother trying to put anything on the bar.

I did start from 0.

I started at the bar and lifted every other day adding between 5-10lbs depending on how much energy I had. 21 days later and I worked up to 145.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

You tried to progress too fast. I did the same thing with my bad back a few times and was put of the gym for at least a month each time. I've learnt that slow and steady is the key. Sure, I might build muscle a lot slower now, but at least I am building muscle safely and pain free.

I've got nerve pain too anon. You have to figure out exactly how to open that shit up. Wherever it's being pinched, nerves, muscles, tendonds, whatever. It's not hopeless, you just have to be more careful and do tons of stretching. Like all the time. Try hot yoga. It worked wonders for me.

im glad I read this

I fucked up my hip and all I want to do is go back to squatting 2.5pl8lmao

I refuse to be out another month. I fucking hate it. I fucking hate being fucking fat and weak. I'm going to take 2 days off tops. I'm going to fucking drop high bar and rotate low bar and front squats. I'm going to keep pressure off that area in my C8.

FUCK

Worst part is this means I actually have to start stretching for posture to eliminate my rounded shoulders and head tilt. I fucking hate stretching. I fucking despise it. It is the worst chore in the world. It's so fucking boring.

not worth it you stupid fuck

I've had to give up leg day for 6 fucking months and you're whinging about 1 month? dumb idiot

>>40108518

I'VE BEEN OFF FOR A YEAR.

>>40108530
lol ok that would suck

try swimming since it's very low impact on the joints. pretty sure it's ok for the back too.

>>40108530
>>40108542
and let me re iterate, DO NOT SQUAT OR ANY OF THAT SHIT UNTIL YOUR BACK IS 100%

you will be even more fucking miserable for the rest of your life if you fuck your back up

>>40108561

C-can I deadlift?

>>40108585

do not use your back. stick to isolations and bench

>>40108121

it is not enough for me to succeed, others (You) must fail.

Pull ups and hangs will help you. It is also a stretch if u use body awareness to push and pull tight parts of your body.

Also stretching is fun, figure out how to make it fun. Plus it feels fucking good wtf is your problem

>>40108518
