Another win for exercising.

It's crazy to me how many people have miserable health, complain about their body and mental state endlessly, but still put up any roadblock they can think of to avoid exercising of any form.

And yet, nobody mentions how supplements can't generally damage you, but a few days in a gym can fuck you up for an entire year, even with a lot of experience. I basically never met anybody who does regular resistance training without having some sort of pain somewhere, all the time.

Maybe if you are underdoing it its possible but if you follow the muscle building theory, you are certainly going to get fucked eventually. Even the slightest position issue can make your tendons hurt for months... No wonder all athletes are on BPC 157, TB 500 and friends...

I talked to exercise professors and random people alike, and they all tell the same story. Professor said that I should get used to pain.

Too bad exercise seems to be a must after you are 50+ and no amount of good nutrition and vitamin megadosing will suffice for optimal health and particularly insuline resistance. Prior to that age though, you can get away without it.

Ive been doing 3x weekly calisthenics for about 3 years and apart from occasional overuse-tendon-soreness that clears up in about a week, ive never had any problems. In fact im way less prone to injury and an ongoing shoulder issue I had cleared up after getting better at pullups

So, I disagree with you. If you take it slow and listen to your body and maintain good form youre golden.

Isn't that just crazy, you have "ongoing shoulder issue" and claim to never had any problems?

It seems that people just widely overhype their lifestyle or simply get accustomed to everyday pains.

No im saying before ever doing any excercise of any kind I had shoulder problems. They resolved within like 2 months of doing a calisthenics routine.

Reading your comments you seem to have a really immature attitude about excercise and you seem to be hell bent on making your point so, whatever

It sounds like they were saying the shoulder issue resolved after they started exercising it.
