Millennials of /fit/, how are your joints?when did you decide to slow down and go for high volume instead of high weights?
>>77237527>how are your joints?excellent, despite some moderate trauma.>when did you decide to slow down and go for high volume instead of high weights?uh idk, maybe in 30-50 years, maybe not.>t. eats moar yiddish fairy fart powder bhasma decoctions than every influencer you watch ever heard of
Most of you are childless lol
>>77237527>how are your joints?good>when did you decide to slow down and go for high volume instead of high weights?never. I never go above 5 reps, usually 1-3

>>77237580I'm working on it, ok
>>77237527Isnt high weight low volume better for joints?
>>77237697I only did high volume and my joints never crack or pop, not even in the morning
>>77237580I have 3 children and I'm going to have 5 before all is said and done. All of the will be based jew and brown haters.
Pretty good, aside from my MCL tear. Hips get a bit tight if I wear a gun belt. >>77237580Most women available today are deeply undesirable as partners and parents
This is a trooned out wog spam btw.He makes this thread every other day.He's also going to argue with himself while pretending to be a zoomer (he's 38.)
>>77237818> Most women available today are deeply undesirable as partners and parentsGayest shit I ever read on /fit/
>>77237842Oh yeah? Have a big family do you? Happily married?
>>77237818>partners
>>77237580Good. Less goys for Israel.
>>77237527Do americans really just have women dressed like that walking around they get to see all day in public?
>>77237857>girlfriend>wife>side-piece>"situationship">baby mama>fuck buddy/friend with benefitsIt's only troonery if you do it to enact troonery man. There are various types of relationship you can have with a woman, so it just works. Don't let them win, anon.>>77237842I mean they're fine to fuck. They're just awful to date, let alone marry. You're lying to yourself if you think the average girl you see walking around doesn't have something meaningfully wrong with her that could jeopardize a relationship
>>77237580Why is this so true. I feel like on Twitter everyone over 26 is married with kids but IRL most people that are 30 or so are still single.
>>77237527All good my discs not so muchWent the other way went to HIT in a moderate rep range only up the weight when I hit the end of the range for a week. Just holding off on loading increases has kept me mostly injury free for a few years.
>>77237874anon. you are so far gone. you are so far trooned out. that you did not understand why they quoted you.the use of the term 'partner' to describe a romantic relationship was diction introduced to be more inclusive and normalize homosexuality.

>turning 29 a khhv making 48k a year still living with roommates At least I’m fit r-right bros?
>>77237527I'm basically in better shape at 35 than I have ever been. I've had some minor injuries, lower back stuff, left knee and partially torn rotator cuff but managed to rehab it with exercise. My energy is better than ever, libido still like a teenager, visible abs, etc. Lifts are 2/3/4/5.25 and most have stalled besides deadlift but it is what it is at this weight while being natty.Volume only is a meme, you want a balance between weight, volume and INTENSITY—if the movement isn't a high weight bench or squat I AMRAP every set Tom Platz style.I still do my own modified 5/3/1 routine 4 times a week:>5/3/1 high weight compound movement (bench, squat, dl, ohp)>3 volume sets of that same movement after its done>3 sets of 3-5 volume accessory bodybuilder-esque exercises afterwards>30 mins zone 2 cardio (stairmaster/incline tread)>10k steps during the dayBecause you're doing 5/3/1 you're shifting throughout the weeks between higher weights and more volume anyway.Some of those accessory that are non-negotiable to prevent injuries:>back extensions for lower body>hanging leg raises shoulders and lower back again via core>lightish weight Bulgarian split squat for knees (I do only like 60-70kg)Literally just do like 2 x 3 sets of these a week and you will ward the joint demon in my experience.Rotator cuff is trickier to deal with and requires 3-4 exercises, fortunately I do 2 of them anyway (arnold press instead of ohp and lat raises) so I'll throw in the others whenever I feel like it.>>77238509Your situation isn't that unusual. You have a median-ish wage job (assuming you're in the US) and live in a cost of living crisis which means you'll need atleast 1 room mate to afford rent (more if you actually want to save money)—this is literally the default human experience if you are single right now in the West so don't feel bad about it.
>>77238382you know what? I can't argue with that. How do I fix myself?

>>77237527high volume causes more joint shear over time then doing heavy weights.
>>77238423A back made for skeeting upon.
>>77237527My joints are fine. Running everyday for like 5-10km and no tendonitis or shoulder pain. My back though, had a bad sciatica from hernia a year ago but its fine now
>>77237527thinking about hopping on gear. give no fucks about the moralfagging, my only real concern is whether the premature aging sides outweigh the gains
>>77237527I fucking hate aging
My joints are doing fine, although I've had a persistent neck pain since getting in a car accident 2 years ago
>>77237580I am 40, single, and childless. Feels bad
>>77238509If you're fit you're probably better looking than most people. You can get into some good customer-facing jobs that pay well, and customers like dealing with good looking people. I got into banking last year at 40k and this year I got promoted with the new role at 80-90k. After a year or two I can get promoted again and be making 120k+.
Lower back is extreme instability, I can flex it into pain. I can throw out my back from sitting for too long including shitting. My friends from highschool who never did anything fitness related look like dogshit. Early 40s now look like 60 year olds
>>77237527>>77238866So can someone grok that getting bbced or something?
>>77239064Yeah. Zoomers are gonna cry about not having kids too not too soon from now.
>>77237527>be me, Gen X>still lift heavy, joints great >be you >faggot
>>77237580uhh this is literally me
>>77237527Turned 40 this year>how are your joints?Fan-fucking-tastic, I'm becoming the calisthenics guy at the gym>when did you decide to slow down and go for high volume instead of high weights?High volume sounds retarded and gay.I don't move the most weight I possibly can, but I focus on the highest tension exercises I can manage.High volume is stupid because you're better off spending less time doing worthless reps and more time doing yoga.
>>77240220What the fuck happened to the ceiling?
>>77238866Depends on a lot of things, but usually it will smell musky. Can be very stimulating and erotic or straight up disgusting. If she's hot and her hygiene and diet isn't terrible, it's a heavenly smell even when you get a hint of shit. Otherwise the smell can make you go limp. It probably depends on the pheromone to shit particle ratio plus some psychological factors (i.e. how attracted are you to her).
>>77240290>Depends on a lot of thingsIf they are ovulating they produce a very fertile smell that can make you go wild and will make you wanna cum inside that pussy, it's a pretty strong smell that can make even the low t dyels into a high t fuck machines. I love women
>>77240297I agree with you but I think he was asking about the smell of her asshole, which ovulating pussy smell only has a limited influence on by proximity.
>>77240299oh nvm then, that smell is not for the weak
>>77237527I'm pretty fucked. Some discs are def fucked, some have recovered reasonably well (at the expense of completely ignoring conventional heavy squats and deadlifts), some more recently damaged ones (cervical) will need more time and more care, I have nagging overuse injuries in a few joints that have been refusing to heal in years. I do weighted calisthenics, can go pretty heavy and work around my injuries, but I'm beginning to think I'd probably have to stop lifting for fucking years to kinda return to the pain-free state. Consistency in relatively heavy training (even if it's just weighted calisthenics) can be truly detrimental sometimes. I'm not sure what to do desu, not training would be incredibly hard to swallow.
>>77237870Yes unironically, go to a gym and they're everywhere
>>77240672>google.com/scholar>search "senoprotein" and "SASP"ur welcome.
>>77237527>jointsbretty gud, no pain and full range of motion>slow down, reps v weightlol no
>>77237527>Millennials of /fit/,how are your joints?They're good. Thankfully I didn't fuck them up following shit fitness influencer advice like failure training.>When did you decide to switch to high volume Personally I do low volume, high intensity. Zero joint pain and I get done within an hour. High volume takes way too long and feels like I'm wasting time after a while.
>>77237870Where the hell are you from? This is a normal all day every day thing, not even just in gyms
>>77237527Fuck millennials. Definition of the Zoyboy golems. They were the children of boomers. Fruit of a poisonous tree.
>>77237580>save money>study esoteric knowledge or vidya all day>literally nothing to lose if you need to hero a politician or CEO You get used to it
Whats some general tips for keeping joints healthy? I don't think I have many joint issues and I am 33. I want to keep it that way.
>>77240672You're looking at the negatives. The reality is we didn't choose this we were sent there by our slutty generations influenced by (((media))).The upside is being able to learn or play whatever you want. Without kids we're infantalized but it doesn't matter.Nihilsm alone is suicide, but with Christianity it's bliss. Life is short, hookers are the bandaid a single man needs to what women should be but aren't; accessable and simple without games
>>77241306Avoid lifting heavy, but unironically. If you watched Scooby1488 (heh) he talked about it but also other oldfag lifters too.You get the same effect with lighter weight going to failure or just avoid weight lifting entirely and do ruck marching
>>77241306Lift heavy but make sure to rest properly
>>77237527Meh, too old now.I am into gen alpha now, they are cuter.
>>77241306Lift heavy when you’re young to make them stronger, same for skeletal muscle. Bone and and tendon, joint gains are permanent
lifting is absolutely not an option3x a week is the bare minimal, 6x a week is ideal

>>7723752732. Not bad, all things considered. It's really grim to start to see people in my peer group just losing the fight against their own body with weight and mobility shit. Work injuries ignored and accumulated. The broke and childless bit is getting tiresome though. The system selects for the fattest and most neurotic and domestic among us. I think I'd make a better parent than some of those types. Take these supplements for general health and longevityMorning: Multivitamin, Creatine, D3+K2, CoQ10, Omega-3, low dose Aspirin, NAC ( 1/2 )Night: Magnesium Glycinate, NAC ( 2/2 )
>finally get gf at 32 after years of grinding, looksmaxing, statusmaxing, wagecucking etc>cant even enjoy it because im tired, bitter, angry and sad i wasted my youth, her body count is double digits and her friends always judge her for dating a "late bloomer"im tired bros
>>77237527>how are your joints?Absolutely fucked. Peptide clinical trials when?>when did you decide to slow down and go for high volume instead of high weights?Never. I can bench 160kg and I need to go beyond.
>>77237527Lifting injuries outside of acute catastrophic snap city express visits are almost always a case of lack of speed of adaption vs speed of progression.High intensity vs high volume doesn't really matter (unless by high intensity you mean deadlift 1RM after 6 months of not deadlifting, that isn't methodology it's mongloidism), what matters is the volume x intensity YOU are prepared to do safely at any given moment.I am 34, I've had minor injuries practically everywhere but my lower back (deadlift is my best lift). You are going sustain injuries if you lift semi-seriously. If they remain minor and reversible is a matter of knowledge and discipline in regards to how you plan your sessions and how you respond. When you are young you get away with more stupid shit but lack knowledge, when you are older you need to be slightly more careful but you've hopefully learned something.
An azn gf that loves me.
>>77241372Any tips on time travel?
>>77237527>how are your joints?They're ok>when did you decide to slow down and go for high volume instead of high weights?After yo-yo working out then doing HIIT gym then almost dying now I just simply lift, walk and sauna. >>77237580Yup, it is what it is
>>77237527M 41Joints are great. I lift more and heavier than ever, with no signs of regressing in the near future. Every single morning I wake up, grab a coffee, and proceed through a 1hr full body workout. I get 20-30 miles of running each week regardless of the weather. I eat clean with zero exceptions; my body is unstoppable and I feel like a million bucks 99% of the time.Don't let culture tell you that time will make you weak. You can at your peak the moment before you pass into the next phase of your existence.
>>77241944+1
>>77242271its good you feel great but your 41 year old body isnt as good as your 20 year old body. If you think so, you definitely never played a single sport to see how fast you could actually recover in your 20s vs your 40s.
Turn 30 in a few months>jointsGood actually, except for my right elbow which is a bit tweaked. Nothing major though.>volumeStrongest I've ever been but my main adjustment is going 4 days a week. Used to go 6 days when I was in college. Strength unlike speed/explosiveness is actually something that carries over well into 30s/40s so you don't need to omit weight, just train smarter.
>>77241306Lifting heavy means anything below 6-8 reps for a compound or 8-12 for isolationsThat’s the rep range that’s best for a strength and hypertrophy hybrid. The top set should always have reps in that range, and any proceeding set should never be lower than 2 fewer reps than the lower end of the range, otherwise lower the weight. If your top set has as at least at as many reps as the top value of the range, and your last set has at least the lower value of the range, then you can go up a weight next session
>>77240211>Skyrim Adolf and Gunther
>>77240241water damage
I'm almost 30 and haven't had a single physical problem in my entire life. I'm lifting more than ever, though I did do more calisthenics than anything through my 20s.The only thing I've noticed with age besides a few gray hairs is that hangovers have got worse. But I'm in impeccable shape.

>>77238848kill yourself, or stop thinking that you're special or better. Women have to deal with the modern day hellscape just like you. They're broken? yes but so are you. You watch porn, you can't empathize with them, you are scared of commitment. We're all in this together, women included
>>77237580My brother has 2 kids and seeing him having to deal with those pests really settled for me that having kids is not worth it

>>77237580Yeah I will never be a father. That is a good thing lol.
I'm 35. I did notice increasing weight is getting progressively harder but it doesn't really bother me as long as i think i look good. Ever since i got on minoxidil i look younger than my older zoomer coworkers.Joints feel great. Never had a major injury in my life and the flu takes me out of the gym more often than any random pain.
>>77242956Uga boga. If you care about jungle law go live in the woods and hunt for food nigga. Look at your silly ass posting on 4chan talking about alpha and reproduction shit.
>>77242956Any loser can find a hag to procreate. Women are a nuisance, marriage is a prison. All my brother's wife does is scroll instagram.

I’m 34, in better shape than all of my friends, and most of my peers who are my age. I also make more money than all of my friends. But I am also the only virgin of my friend group. Oh well.
>>77243326why are you a virgin? if u arent 5'3'' or deformed ugly you should be able to at least have sex.
>>77237527Xillenial here. Joints are fine. I've got a sore tendon in my shoulder that I've just kind of accepted is going to be 2 months of no pressing. Always something, it's never a bid deal. Married with children is dragging on me. Love my family, but we're just so fucking busy all the time. Work is easy. Wife loves me dearly and puts out when the occasion allows, but clearly doesn't want sex anymore. Trying to get abs for the summersummer catch some mires at the pool, enjoy some fucking attention for once - won't make it in time, but I'll have made a lot of progress. Life, it keeps going until it doesn't, you know?
>>77243324a friend of mine was the guy who was having tons of sex with girls when we were in our early 20s. He was fit and really good with girls. Now, he has an obese wife and 2 fat kids. He’s also fat now too and they are poors
>>77243328social anxiety and autism. I can act through it at work. But when I am not working, I want zero contact with humans. That feeling has only intensified as I entered my mid 30s. I definitely will die a virgin
>>77243335you can just pay a prostitute its not a big deal.
>>77243349I’d rather die a virgin and pure than literally pay for a used up whore. That is truly degenerate
37 and my lower back buckled on the reverse vsquat machine thursdaykinda felt like a muscle spasm but hard to tell. basically couldn't walk, but after 24 hours felt a lot better. the pain is deep down, just to the right of the spine and just above the pelvis. responds well to the heat pad and advil.today only a little pain left. guess i need to wait a week or so after the pain goes away before trying to lift again.in hindsight i felt the fatigue build up over a few days, but ignored it as regular soreness. i think my form was good when it happened. am i a retard for not going to the doctor and getting assessed? can they give steroid shots or muscle relaxants to speed up recovery. basically didn't want to end up with a huge medical bill from MRI's etc. for something that can heal with rest alone.
>>77243353yes, you've clearly never had your dick sucked.
>>77243362Obviously, I’m a virgin. But I’m not about to spend money on a used up whore. That’s degeneracy
>>77243366vro you're a 3X year old unc who is childless and spends his free time on an anime imageboard. that's the definition of degenerate
>>77243366>That’s degeneracydegeneracy is lacking the basic courage and ambition to improve and ask a girl out on a date. go to therapy and stop blaming social anxiety and autism
>>77243367What I’m doing is not morally wrong nor disgusting. Paying some woman who has sucked thousands of cocks, to suck my cock next is disgusting. Anyone who does that is nasty. Imagine putting your penis into a hole that 50 men have busted in during the past 24 hours. Disgusting
>>77243371I’m not blaming anything. I accept that I will die a virgin you moron. You or that other dude asked why I’m one, I said why. I’m not bitching about it
>>77243371>and ask a girl out on a dateIf he’s in his 30s and a virgin, it’s over for him. No 30 year old is going to just be getting into the field. He would be around 15 years behind in experience compared to everyone else in his age range. No catching up there
>>77243381nah it's fine
>>77243383No he’s not, no 30 year old woman wants a virgin man. Zoomers girls don’t want an older virgin. Zoomers girls go after older men because they are experienced
>>77243388>body count? like 5 hahawow there problem solved
>>77243400>body count
>>77239039same thing
>>77243400Are you a virgin? Because girls will DEFINITELY notice that he doesn’t know wtf he’s doing.. he’s in his 30s. There is an expectation that he knows how to have sex and he’s good at it. You think it’s not going to be obvious to the girl when she seems his physically shaking and his heart beating out of his chest the first time he sees her naked? You’re dumb dude. A 20 year old virgin could lie like that and get away with it. But not a 30+ year old.
>>77243410>you're so beautiful it's like I'm having sex for the first timewow that was hard
>>77243412nobody would buy that. You think that’s gonna work when he doesn’t know what to do? You’re either stupid or you’re a virgin yourself
>>77243412>>you're so beautiful it's like I'm having sex for the first time
>>77243417I am unfortunately not a virgin, that's why I know that you can just lie to women and get what you want. Also once you're at the having sex stage almost no woman will back out no matter what, probably because of the >implications. By then he can just have a terrible first time and try again with the next whore he can fool. That's how it is when you are a loser but it's better than whatever you're trolling him with.
>>77243423Ok so you’re just a retard. Got it
>>77243417Bro I used to be good at sex, but I have a dry spell that is something like 2.5 years at this point. I'm sure I would act like a virgin again if I had the opportunity to fuck right now
>>77243440this >>77243429nice argument, there's dudes with micro penises out there getting action because once you reach that stage women will go through with it no matter what. You genuinely sound totally sexless
>>77243444The men with the micropenis have been having sex since they were teens. They didn’t start having for the first time in their 30s
>>7724344034 year old virgin here. The difference between me and you is that you know what you like. You know what girls like. And you know how to do it. I do not know any of this and have no idea how I would react if a woman touched me. I don’t even know if I would even like sex at all at this point. Maybe I would hate it

>>77243484No, dipshit. Milennials are Gen Y. You are just a retarded child.Silent generation came back from ww2 and made the baby boomers. The baby boomers experienced unsustainable and uncontrolled post-war growth and gave birth to useless GenXers who never had to develop the skill to adapt to the changing world, and didn't realize until too late that the empire was beginning to decline and they wouldn't get all the economic comfort their parents had.GenXers wollowed in grungy and punk rock self-pity for two decades and stayed worthless, then gave birth to the milennials who had to raise themselves because their parents were still children.Millennials became idealistic dumbasses trying to overcompensate for their worthless parents by making drastic change left and right because they had no reason to think that anyone who came before them was ever right about anything.Then in the process they gave birth to Gen Z who I'm was so overstimulated and bombarded with excess information you became to goddamn dumb to Google the terms you're using.
