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

>>77237580You’re a cream pie eating cuckold like your dad
>>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.
>>77237527extremely erotic pose
>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?
>>77237527can someone describe the smell in this spot right here please?
>>77238866Do you mean the asscrack or the pussy?
>>77237527Brapload time.
>>77238274twitter influences are picked because of how ideal their lives look, not much else.
>>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 )
>>77239724>>77237580>>77240319Life after 30 is a slow-motion suicide without family. It's all the negatives of getting old; watching your friends drift away as they start their own families, your parents and siblings getting old and die, watching everything in your life slowly putter out as the magic fades; without any of the positives of things like family or community to shore you up. Everything rots away and you're left with the bleakness of oblivion, no hope of anything continuing. Anyone who has experienced considerable ageing among his family members (or already in himself), knows how blackpilling it is. It's really rough, once people pass their early 50s (or sometimes even sooner) you start to notice the slip-ups, forgetfulness, the declining of fine motor skills, the difficulties understanding new information. Human existence is a tragedy, there are so few years that you are allowed with full mental and physical strength. Your peak years are mostly wasted with education, where you have barely any control over your own life, because you have little to no money nor autonomy. Add to that the time spent sleeping, working, hygiene, housework, shopping, appointments, visits to the workshop - what do we have left? Everyone who has to work for a living basically leads a precarious existence, regardless of whether they are a simple worker or a well-paid employee. Before they have built up a comfortable fortune and a well established understanding of the world, the body goes downhill.
>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.
