/30+/ Fitness

35 year old boomer here, loving lockdown. Wife, 2 kids, charcoal grill and home gym.

Nice thread you got here.

Got a garage gym but streamlined the process to avoid burnout after so many gears of this shit.

Bjj 3 times a week any more and the injury accumulation makes living impossible.

Noticing a serious decline in recovery rates now im 34 but lifes good fit wife kids good job.

Getting harder to keep the weight off though boys

We're very lucky. Lockdown has strained some marriages loads od divorces. Me and my family have loved every second honestly

Turned 30 a few months back. Been feeling stronger than ever. I picked up distance running again at the start of corona and just beat my 5km PB set when I was 18 years old. 19:39 not amazing but not bad.

am 28 and have fucked knees, can i join you guys

36 here

I used to work out like a mad cunt until 28 y/o when I injured my back while squatting.

I was doing 'warm-up weight' and wasn't taking it seriously, wasn't even focusing on keeping any sort of respectable form, and my back buckled, a quick involuntary jerk forward and backward, and it's been recurring pain ever since.

I can sometimes make it to 1 month without it flaring up again for no particular reason - maybe I bent over to tie my shoe lace wrong, maybe I just slouched when I was sitting down for 5 minutes...

If I can go 2 weeks exercising without it flaring up I'm over the moon. I don't bother with free weights any more because every time I touch them I get injured. So I'm forever resistance machines, doing the gay-ass fly's and cable whatever-the-fucks.

Be safe, and don't be retarded like me.

My main issue right now is how awful I feel in the morning after eating a fuckin pizza. I get acid reflux and am groggy as shit. I just want a za once in a while bros. Why does it hurt me

fuck me I have the same. If I have a dirty meal I feel it the next day. If I eat extra fatty food I know I need to use the bathroom fast. Wasn't so when I was younger

>Noticing a serious decline in recovery rates now im 34

This is me When my back fucked up, I thought it'd heal just like injuries always did up 'till then. Doesn't it suck how they linger for months, sometimes even years. Another sob story is after starting back on jump rope after a few months break, I legit just thought I had shin splints or something, but after 2 years of putting up with a dull heal pain I mentioned it to the Dr. and it was a torn ligament or something and took another couple of years to actually stop hurting.

This. I've actually gone vegan a few times now, and while I'm back on the meat train, I don't go near dairy. This is shit I would laugh about when I was teen's and 20's. I'm now the dumb fuck at the dinner table who is like "hmmm... oh never mind, it's got butter/milk/cream/cheese in it, I'll just have the plain chicken..."

35 here. My knees are fucked by this point. I need to watch my diet and balding has intensified.
Other than that life is great. Never had more money, kid on the way, I lift regularly, don't drink alcohol when feeling bored. Life starts making sense after 30

I'm not thirty but if I started lifting now I would only look decent when I hit 30. Is there even any point?

Consider what a non-lifting 30-something tends to look like.
Consider the benefits over the next 30 years.

C’mon in. Being old takes practice. Best to start learning when you’re young.

30-year-old-boomerhood is a state of mind and body, not a number. Welcome.

29 here... we are fucked arnt we?

>younger people
An unsettlingly large number of gen-Xers and millennials act and think like zoomers.

Not an oldfag, but I'm here to vent about seeing non-stop coomer posts, people trying to spread a defeatist attitude, and stuff like that. It's really irritating. I just wanna lift, man.

Its not defeatist
Its realistic
Not everyone is gonna make it

Check on Craigslist. I picked one up a month ago, best $80 I ever spent.

Yeah I did the same pretty much. Not focused, standing up weird after bent over concentration curls, ironic given the name.

I did a turpentine cleanse about a month ago, my knees felt ten years younger after two days. If you’re not keen to drink paint thinner increase your vitamin C, it’s an vital precursor for collagen production. Glucosamine, MSM, and shitloads of eggs.

Congratulations fren.

>What are you bros favorite tools?
Cordless impact driver I use the most. Weed burner go burrrrrrr.

Not really but I have a younger girlfriend. She keeps up with all the slang and pop culture while I try to make sense of it all. Then when I have to interact with her shitty fucking friends, I’m on top of it.
