What do you do when you have pain or an injury?
Do you …
A. Deal with the pain and move on even though you know you’re making the injury worse?
B. Do your own research to help yourself?
C. Just not give a fuck whatsoever?
D. Find a PT, Physician, etc … to help you with your situation?
E. Adapt to your current situation and just perform movements that don’t hurt, knowing that over time you’ll be losing range of motion in that joint affecting your life?
If ya had to ask me, not only would I choose “E” myself but I would guess most people would choose the same.
Isn’t that just fucking nuts?
It’s crazy that we would rather adapt to pain instead of trying to take the time to change it for the better.
Instead of saying, “Man, life would be so much better if my knee wasn’t hurting ever day, we just do one legged squats. Even worse than one legged squats, No Squats At All! I’m sure this carries into all aspects of our lives, think about how adapted we are to traffic, it’s crazy!
It’s not normal for a 45 mile drive to take 2 hours, unless you’re on side roads. That’s fucking retarded, but yet it’s normal to us, right.
What the fuck else do we just adapt to?
Workout:
“Lynne”
5 Sets
Max rep bodyweight bench press (it’s totally fine if you can’t do bodyweight, there’s no shame in it. Use a weight that you can get at least 20 reps on the first set
Max rep pull ups (max rep means as many as you possibly can, not a number you came up with arbitrarily in your head. Once you have done max reps or what you consider max reps add a band and get more.)
Then rest a good amount of time like 4 or 5 minutes before you go again.
So the first set would possibly look like this:
23 reps on the bench press with 50lbs below my body weight cause I have no ego and just want to get a great workout.
15 pull ups with no band and then another 11 with a thick band cause I have no ego.
This is good, do what this guy did.
