BIGREDIOWAN Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Laugh all you want about the age, but I've been lifting for 15 years and that takes a toll on your body no matter who you are and I hear all the time, "just wait till you get older yada yada yada" List of injuries for me: Two torn shoulders, one of which was surgically repaired. Partially torn tricep tendon, rehabbed over 3 months. Arthritis in wrists. Ganglion cyst in wrist. Bulging disc. Herniated disc. bursitis more times than I can count. The day will come that I will stop lifting, probably in my 40's somewhere and I'll have to find something else to do. Is what it is........ It's all good Bri. We're laugh with you not at you. When I was 25 I started a contracting business and thought I could do all physical labor myself. I was rock solid and in shape. 13 years later, I realized my body was totally shot and couldn't do it anymore. Got fat and miserable. I had to find a completely new way to stay in shape. I have days where my body doesn't want to get out of bed and my two ruptured disks in my back make sure I know when I do something wrong. It sucks but it's life. All I know is it's all one hell of a lot worse if I let myself get out of shape. Fight on. My back lets me know as well, it's quite the reminder when it happens! Quote Link to comment
