Used to be 270 lbs and couldn’t climb a flight of stairs without losing my breath. Now I’m 212 and deadlifting more than some guys at my gym 😏
No crash diets, no gimmicks just years of showing up, learning macros and treating my body like something I actually care about.
I’m not done yet next stop 190 lbs and abs for the first time in my life.
Age ain’t the issue excuses are.
Good joint health comes down to form, recovery, and not overloading too fast
Massage gun helps loosen tight spots, ice baths help mentally more than physically IMO
Ice baths are overrated for muscle growth but great for feeling refreshed
Massage gun feels great after long sessions, but nutrition still runs the show
Tried the BPC‑157 + TB‑500 stack after a shoulder strain pain dropped noticeably
Mobility work and good nutrition. Took longer, but recovery was solid
