Lockdown messed me up good. Went from being the shape of my life to fighting through 5 pullups. Lost 12kg and started smoking again. I feel like an utter wuss in the gym.

How did you lose 12 kg while also declining on pullups lmao. Arm amputation?

I got weak as fuck man, must've been muscle loss from doing absolutely nothing.

Yeah, I'm also in the worst possible shape since 2009. when I had a depression problem. The latest setback was stomach flu, I literally lost more than 5kg in three days, all muscles and remaining volume are gone.

I need to start working out immediately.

Excuses are for losers. You don't need a gym to stay fit.

Why people are making excuses for something they don't like? I'v never made an excuse for not smoking, just because it fucking sucks. It fucking sucks, just like climbing up the stairs or lifting weights. It's not fun, it doesn't feel good. People are watching other people, going over the instagram stories and seeing people being fit, but it's not fun. It's only fun if it's your lifestyle, if you like to eat healthy and you like to use your body for moving instead of sipping the coffee at the office job.

Nobody forces you to move. You don't need to make excuses, it just ain't for you.

Do you believe in fitness?

Pulled a muscle in my lower back, been a week now and it's still causing pain. This sucks, I haven't really done any physical activity in a week and it's driving me insane.

Turns out I instead had a tear in a disc and probably strained one of the erector spinae as well. Tried to do some light squats today and no pain, but still felt a bit off. I have something like 8 weeks of physical therapy that I'm supposed to go through so hopefully that fixes everything up.

We have good surgeons here in Finland, you should pay a visit.

Good luck with the therapy bro

Thankfully I don't think it was anywhere close to that bad.

Good luck bro.
I love Deadlifts but I’m also always terrified of them.

As long as you watch your form you should be ok. I hate them but gotta do what you gotta do.

I didn't even injury myself deadlifting, I did it trying to move the barbell into the proper position to continue deadlifting. It was so incredibly stupid

 

[suligodsilla]

Looking forwards to Deadlifts, i missed them so much

 

[Albo]

I used to deadlift 200KG (440lb), but because of covid I didn't train for a month and it was Ramadan (I don't do deadlifts while fasting), and now can't go over 180KG.

Have you lost weight during that time as well?

I usually don't lose weight during the Ramadan, because I work from home, and I eat alot.

But something more than a month without training, than another month during Ramadan when I didn't train good enough, made me kinda "weaker"

In that case, I'm sure you'll be back there within a month or so of lifting regularly.

Maybe it's just me, but after extended breaks like that I feel it's at least partially mental. Just not being used to handling those heavier weights anymore and needing to get re-accustomed.

You don't need to deadlift at all. I would say unless you are an advanced lifter you stay away from it imo

Back in the gym after 2 years. I feel so fuckin weak.

Trying to figure out a good push/pull/leg split
