Are you lifting?

I started lifting in 5th October. It's been about a month now.

 

I exercise all the time but I don't lift because I have a bad back

 

I jog every day... Twice if I am not at work.*

 

Currently I am doing home excercise with the dumbells. I will keep it for 3 months and after that, I will be ready for gym. I would hate to start with low weights at gym. This is my reason. I eat too many eggs, I work one day and the next day is off. I go this way.

I wanna have some development at home with dumbells before I start going to gym.

 

I do all the lifting that I need during a days work. Walking, rather than using the car, along with scratching my head, using the stairs rather than the elevator takes care of everything else

Other than to maintain faulty equipment, I have never visited a gym in my entire life.

 

Cardio ain't enough. A man needs to gain some muscle.

 

My BMI changed from 22 to 30 so I became at different weights. I was obese and I lost weight and people started calling me skinny when my bmi was 22 like I was underweight but the bmi of 22 is not really what underweight means. But I could never be a muscular man in my life. I don't give a damn about health. I only want it for looks. If I was able to use steroids, I sure would use it.

I was doing lift weighting when my mother was alive but I never had the look of a muscular man. It is really something very hard. I went to gym too. I was able to lift much higher weights than I could when I first started but based on the looks, nothing would show up. Sadly.

At the bmi of 22, I was lifting far heavier weight than I could at the bmi of 30.

After mother died, I stopped lifting weight. In 5th October this year, I started lifting weight again.

I hadn't drunk alcohol for 39 days and I drank once again after 39 days, which took place after having started to lift. But one time only.

 

What for.? The moment that you develop muscle tissue that is not used regularly, it breaks down into fat. This can cause numerous health problems as you get older, resulting in many body builders dying at a fairly young age.

When you visit the gym in your country, how many people do you see lifting when they are over 90 years old.?
Even at my young age of 71, I think that I would make a few guys laugh, particularly when I asked them to give me a hand with the weights.

 

Muscle does not turn into fat.

What do you mean?

I dont care about health and I wanna gain muscle for looks but gaining muscle is healthy as long as you do it without steroids. Lifting weight not only powers up your muscle but also your bones. You also have stronger bones with lift weighting. But I ain't doin it for health but looks. So I am open to steroids but I wouldn't be able to get it. So I wouldn't be able to use it. End of story.

 

no. but i'm floating. i'm lifting my mind by figuring out how to do things that interest me. hopefully lifting others by sharing concepts i believe would create a happier world for everyone.
lifting is what levers are for, which was the only tool really needed to build very large pyramidal piles of even rather large rocks.

 

Is your back permenantly bad? Won't it get good?

I am still unable to do push ups because I had a shoulder dislocation 7 months ago but I am okay with working out with dumbells. So I work out with dumbells.

 

people who think prominent musculature looks good, to each their own.
to me it looks like an ugly bug. smoothed over by a coat of fur like most natural creatures looks way much better.
(i'm sorry but 'muscle builders' just look really ugly and unnatural to me)

 

I wouldn't be muscular enough to look the way you say. Gaining muscle is a very slow process without steroids. To look the way you mention, it needs 3 years of hard work. Plus very good eating during the process. That is really hard. Unless one uses steroids.

Without steorids, it is a fucking slow process. Sadly.

A very simple example to that is you need 48 hours for your muscle to fix itself before you can work the same muscle naturally but on steroids, you can work out the same muscle every day. Your muscle fixes itself so quickly and grows a hell lot faster.

 

It continually gets injured if I lift even the lightest of loads. I have had problems with it most of my adult life. One time I tried to deadlift around 2008 and I felt a hard pop. It's been bad off and on since then.

 

I have dumbbells and barbells @ home, and I also do pull-ups at the nearby kids' playground using the very convenient monkey bars there.

 

i lift my ass out of bed when i get tired of sleeping.

there are infinite things i find more interesting then gratuitous manual physical force.

starting with the intersection between infrastructure and environment and technologies of doing it right.

 

Are you eating enough? You gotta eat to grow

 

why don't you do exercises that doesn't hurt your back? I have a bad back and I workout at home

 

In my case there's high risk of injury to my back and nerve system. Doing "lifting" simply isn't worth it. It's too great a risk*

 

It has been 7 months since I had a shoulder dislocation. I still cannot do push ups
