Deadlifts > Doctors
Deadlifts keep the doctors away
Always throw my back out with deadlifts. Immediately call the chiropractor
Every meditation influencer says that the key to happiness is to slow down and be in the present instead of thinking about the past or future.
A good set of deadlifts really slows me down on the stairs and all I'm thinking about in that moment is the DOMs.
Slow and fully present. Stairs after deadlifts are Enlightenment. Irrefutable logic.
Deadlifting Doctors even better
Gym memberships are shitcoins
Prevention > fixing. Once that clicks you get to be a healthier human being instead of becoming a slave to hedonism and escapes.

Manual labor: the original CrossFit, except you get paid and build something useful
I was doing manual labor dead lift of the tongue of a trailer. Something happened with my knee. Its just a little twinge, but it feels like it has less stability than it should have. I'm debating asking AI if I need to avoid movement or just do more yoga or something.
collagen
eating more beef steaks will help, that kinda icky white stuff, usually referred to as "gristle" is rich in collagen, and it's the same stuff the joints are lined with for shock absorption
i have this issue with my left knee also, and the other thing i will say about it is that if my allergies are flaring up the inflammation in the joints also gets bad and i'm almost unable to take the strain of just walking down the stairs or up a moderate slope like my walk to the shops
got the allergies reducing again... for me the main trigger is celiac autoimmune reaction, and the joint pain in that knee seems to flare up before many of the other symptoms become obvious
I had sciatica for a few weeks and a massage and daily yoga made it finally go away.
Apparently there is a medicine man in a town in El Salvador who can massage tendons in knees. I might have to go there and ask around.
Beef steaks are few and far between where I am
