I would've gotten serious a year ago yes. Instead I started out well, did about 5 months of GOOD training, (about july to sep, then again from nov to dec) getting wayy stronger and making ACTUAL progress, and screwed around for the other 6 months and didn't accomplish anything.i really feel like one of those 90% gym-goers that lifts and has no idea what im doing.
if you knew powerlifting takes over your whole life... you would have lost your life to powerlifting a year ago?? is that what youre saying? (im not being critical, im being a nub) lol
Although I'd like to thank Michael (theBOSS) for helping me out and answering a lot of questions I had. I learned most of my information reading forums and articles for hours every day but the rest I learned from him, he also was the only coach I ever had so he taught me how to do a lot of exercises (I learned the core lifts on my own though).
He's a great personal trainer and knows his stuff and is certified and everything, he trained kyle and I for CHEAP for about a month before we ran out of cash cuz we were just dirt poor, if anyone was interested in that they should definitely hit him up, although he did move back to Oceanside recently so you'd probably have to make a bit of a trip.
That's awful.. I haven't looked up a lot on injuries so I'm not sure, I would assume you're talking about your lower back and in that case you've probably just been sitting or lifting with bad posture (i mean almost everyone does), but if it's that bad just trying to get your controller I would definitely see a doctor. sorry man. btw doing squats might help your back, it helped mineOh yeah that's right I was supposed to get tips from you Kira about exercising. I haven't been doing much now though due to my back.
That reminds me, I strained my back again at the last JDM smashfest, this time I was just sitting on the floor... I leaned forward to unplug my controller, and stood up from that awkward position and wrecked my back.
what should I do now, continue light exercise or rest for a while? My mom won't pay for a chiropractor because she doesn't believe in them
on second thought i doubt your back is really that bad, i think if you just had better posture it would be okay, sitting down for that long in a position like that can strain my back too but it isn't permanent. hard to tell just from what you've said tho
and if anyone needs help and doesn't have Boss's number... let me know im pretty much loving it right now and im always down to lift together if anyone wants
