Having discipline and showing that discipline to my children is definitely a big part of it. They notice everything.
For me, I see training as a way to be able to keep up with the children and being able to move and stay active as long as possible. Even though the aesthetics part is a nice bonus, it’s not the main goal for me. What’s interesting is that gaining lean mass is important for aesthetics as well as for longevity.
For me it is just fun to do. If I can make something more physical, more difficult I will. Effort is exhilarating.
This also. I agree with that as well. I guess the reason we do it for might be different. But it’s relatively all the same in the end. Or very similar at least
Yeah they’re all great benefits. Doing deadlifts and wrist curled were literally the only things that actually provided significant pain relief for my lower back and the tendinitis in my hands. Physical therapy, icing, splints, stretching didn’t work for me.
I did have some back pain 12 years ago. Leg day and training back fixed it. Everything else I tried failed
It sounds so obvious in hindsight doesn’t it? Like oh my back hurts because it’s weak. Not because of sciatica or because my hamstrings are tight and need to be stretched to relieve tension or because the mattress isn’t firm enough. 😂
