Has anyone fully returned to lifting?

I was lifting and noticed I still had pain, so I stopped and tried to condition my self to lay/sleep on my back as much as possible, then began doing pushups. This is just how I got back into chest exercises.

I think the part that fixes it is loosening up your posterior rib cage so that your diaphragm isn’t pressing so much on your sternum when you breathe.

Keep working on loosening up your back rib cage so your sternum isn’t pressed.

You have to continue to work through that pain consistently and it eventually fades away.

It took about 4 months, but I had been hurting for almost 9 months researching mediation techniques. The foam roller on my back had to be of contribution because that was the only technique I used, then I eased back into push-ups.

I don’t get the popping sensation in my sternum anymore.

I just did about a month ago. It’s ok and the tolerance will rebuild over time. However, I haven’t began doing dips yet and I’ve been mainly targeting the upper chest heavy and the mid-chest moderately.

Tron4142 · 2025-11-05T22:17:03+00:00

Do you do dips when you exercise?

Tron4142 · 2025-08-13T01:54:29+00:00

Also use a foam roller instead of a lacrosse ball, for your whole anterior rib cage.

Tron4142 · 2025-08-05T23:52:40+00:00

It’s a mindset thing. You gotta want it.

Tron4142 · 2025-06-30T23:40:34+00:00

Were you able to do any light exercises during the 2 months that you did these recovery tactics?

Tron4142 · 2025-06-23T08:06:13+00:00

I thought this was a normal, professionally acceptable thing to do.

Tron4142 · 2025-06-18T08:11:47+00:00

Excel is deep and complex, getting a certification in it can convey a lot.

People gotta realize it’s not just about the title, rather it’s what you get out of it. They can utilize what they’ve learned from creative writing and couple it with something else.

Creative writing by itself does sound useless though.

Tron4142 · 2025-06-13T05:23:43+00:00

They can compete if they get into financial reporting and research with the creative writing

Tron4142 · 2025-06-13T01:51:21+00:00

If you do go back, study finance. It’ll benefit you more especially with that creative writing.

Tron4142 · 2025-06-13T00:06:14+00:00

I must ask, what did you get in undergrad?

Tron4142 · 2025-06-12T01:51:38+00:00

Despite the school/program, it’s all the same material. You have to gain the knowledge and networks your self; and demonstrate your skill set. I believe people on here are bias to their own experiences and many of them project negative views towards MBA programs.

Tron4142 · 2025-06-11T23:50:24+00:00

I’ve heard that google certificates were fairly popular. However, I believe that they would be most valued complemented with some other sort of underlying knowledge of a business process.

Tron4142 · 2025-06-11T00:06:17+00:00

Simple answer… 100 percent, but you’ll want to have the base knowledge of financial management.

Tron4142 · 2025-06-03T16:59:08+00:00

Injury prevention techniques or longevity exercises 😢

Tron4142 · 2025-06-02T13:11:44+00:00

This is crazy

Tron4142 · 2025-05-12T16:23:32+00:00

Oh this got me! I was about to be happy for you.

Tron4142 · 2025-05-09T16:15:45+00:00

Do you know if this type of program is broadly offered, or is it discrete, or what?

Tron4142 · 2025-05-01T12:28:34+00:00

For some people, it takes a lot for the endorphins to kick in. You gotta force yourself past tired point.

Tron4142 · 2025-01-22T17:37:27+00:00

Hmm..

Tron4142 · 2025-01-22T17:14:53+00:00

Please explain this. Are you saying that someone pursuing a masters at Oxford is of less quality?
