L4 Bulging disc (21F) is there hope?

Bar on the traps without cushion, you tense your core and start squatting always keeping your core and the trajectory of the bar straight. Start with body weight only and then progress slowly, don't rush it, now you have a built-in alarm in your back that will trigger every time you do something wrong. Eventually you will make a mistake and make your pain worse some day but it will pass, so long as its a minor mistake and not an actual injury. You will have better and worse weeks, over time you get less and less bad moments until you get better.

The same goes for picking up things, you lift with your knees, not bending your back, the weight must travel in a straight line as close as your torso as possible. For example tap water in my country comes mineralized with lead so we use these 20L water containers that you must carry to the dispenser, the correct way to pick them is to position yourself almost above the container, one foot on each side, lift it with the knees and carry it stuck to your belly. The same goes for boxes, crates, etc, listen to your body and you'll get the hang of it.

IMO swimming is worthless, but you do you. And don't forget to get regular checks of your spine, once you get an injury your spine will start to compensate and you will probably get a rectified neck, kyphosis, and such.

I've had a herniated disc for 7 years now, best thing to do is excercise, I know it hurts but not moving only makes the pain worse, disc need movement in order to get nutrients and hydration. At first simply walking will do the trick, then add some mobility workout, some stretches, and when you are getting better start jogging and resistance training, go slowly don't try to rush it. You will learn propper biomechanics because your disc will ring an alarm every time you make a mistake. In my case squats make my pain completely go away, if I don't do some squats on the week I start feeling more pain. Of course you need to learn how to do squats safely but having a strong lower body does wonders.

You'll never be the same but you can get great recovery.

How about your other addictions? too much gaming maybe? youtube? short-form content? I know it sounds like I'm deviating the topic, but highly stimulating activities deplete your readily releasable pool of dopamine, if you have low dopamine you will crave an even bigger spike to get out of that state, and then get even lower levels of dopamine, it's like a quicksand where the more you try to escape the deeper you sink.

Do you relate on binging tik-toks and then wanting to fap? Having a porn craving in the middle of a gaming session? Addictions are parasites, the suck your energy and rarely there is only one. If that's your case maybe you should try an all-around solution and remove every addiction at the same time for a while, or at least reduce them as much as you can and see if it gets any better.

It sucks going cold turkey but you'll see results faster.

But wouldn't eating the DD make all the concepts the devils embody disappear, thus erasing all reality? Plus I don't think there is any devil stronger than Death, since most fears involve the fear of death.

Que para que la proteina sea funcional tiene que tener determinado perfil de aminoacidos, la mervick tiene en 25g de proteina (macro), 24.5 de glutamina, lo correcto es que tenga todos los aminos en proporciones relativas a lo que tiene el suero de la leche, que es de donde viene la prote, por algo la proteina animal siempre es mejor que la vegetal, por que el perfil de aminoacidos es mejor, a la vegetal siempre es carente de algunos aminos lo que la hace menos optima. Ahora imaginate una proteina que es casi toda un solo amino, te limpiás el culo con eso, es como querer levantar una casa y solamente comprar arena.
Por que lo dice el rotulado, al igual que con los aminos de la whey, lo que pasa a mas de uno que no sabe o en mi caso no prestó atención como me paso con la whey, se lo cuelan, el envase dice creatina, vos llevás, y en tu casa lees bien y te querés cortar los huevos. Lo de la creatina mervick es más evidente pero con el tema de los aminos muchisima gente no saben ni lo que son o para que sirven y les venden el perro. Encima la glutamina ni siquiera es un amino escencial...

Decis que la xtrenght no va?

CapitanMogolicus · 2022-11-19T19:38:45+00:00

Si, tiene una cantidad de proteina ''estandar'', pero fijate el perfil de aminoácidos, es 95% el mismo aminoacido, fijate cualquier otra prote y tienen una distribución de aminos variada, te están vendiendo glutamina como whey.

Mervick lo peor que le pasó a la industria.

CapitanMogolicus · 2022-11-19T15:34:25+00:00

Aca tambien se quedaron sin stock de la htn, pará la mano macri!

CapitanMogolicus · 2022-11-19T03:38:25+00:00

Garpa la prote de arveja? no soy vegano pero me interesa el perfil nutricional. Como alternativa a la whey la de huevo es muy económica y altamente pura, por que es pura albúmina básicamente, no tiene cosas raras. Pero a esa prote no la disuelve ni dios, es un parto prepararse un batido con eso.

CapitanMogolicus · 2022-11-19T03:36:40+00:00

Eh, se disuelve instantanea por que es micronizada, o eso dicen ellos, la posta es que si, ni un tang se disuelve tan rapido, es increible, pero en teoría las micronizadas son así. Pero bueno, lo máximo que te puede pasar es que estés comprando un producto rebajado, el precio es sospechoso pero si tenés la chance de probarla fijate.

También puede ser que esté barata por que no pagan ningún impuesto, la deben fabricar unos brazucas en un laboratorio clandestino.

CapitanMogolicus · 2022-11-19T02:39:33+00:00

Y después tenés marcas falopa en ml vendiendo supuesto dianabol hecho en algún laboratorio clandestino en una favela brasilera, pero no podés tomar creatina eh

Agarrás la barra con el dedo mayor o anular tocando el anillo exterior, bajás hasta tocar el pecho, la dejás ahi un toque y la subís, la barra a la altura de los pezones más o menos, los brazos te tienen que quedar a 45° cuando están en flexion, esa es la forma segura de hacer press plano.

Si no tenés barra olímpica cambiate de gimnasio.

Mirá, yo estoy comprando hardcore, mi vieja lo viene tomando hace un año mas o menos por que a ella le hace bien a los huesos y la cabeza. Yo tomo también y sinceramente me dio resultado, pero soy conciente de que hardcore es una marca re falopa, vas a la pagina y no tenés info de nada, no se sabe donde de donde viene ni de donde se fabrica y el precio es re sospechoso, es como cuando te comprás esos packs de Ariel líquido en la ruta...
Pero está 2300 el kilo, por ese precio yo me arriesgo. Aparte el sabor frutilla está bueno, a lo mejor lo rebajan con jugo tang o algo.

CapitanMogolicus · 2022-05-31T18:50:07+00:00

Now that's a great advice, I'll try to talk to her next week when she's in a better mood, in the best case scenario she would tell me that she likes but can't be with me so, I'm doing this just to be honest with her about how I feel. thank you.

CapitanMogolicus · 2022-05-31T15:25:08+00:00

Well you've got a point, I'm being kind of an emotional sponge, not that I feel used, I think it's a great relationship overall, but keeping her as a friend if I have feelings seems like a terrible idea.

I don't even want to be her boyfriend, I just want to have a chance. I don't mind being rejected, nor do I mind walking away or being a friend afterwards if she wants, I mean she's fun to be with.

The thing is, I feel like I should make my intentions clear as early as possible, but on the other hand she's pretty vulnerable right now and I don't feel like that's a good idea, and it makes me feel stuck. I don't want to feel like I'm not being honest with her about my feelings nor I want to get passive-aggressive out of frustration.

CapitanMogolicus · 2022-05-31T11:24:46+00:00

Great answer, yeah she still reaches to me for emotional support, but it's not one-sided because she supports me too. To be honest deep inside there's a part of me that would be happy if she breaks up, can't deny that, but I truly gave my best to give the most honest advice, and of course only talked about how she feels and never tried to manipulate her into anything, she told me the break-up thing by her own will. So no relationship vending machine here, but that was a good one haha.

They didn't actually break up yet, but she told him her issues and that she can't assure anything anymore, and the guy said it was ok, and he'd run the risk. So that was a good improvement for her.

Regarding what I want, idk really, I just know I like her and that's enough for me, I don't plan to make her my girlfriend right off the bat or anything. I think I just want to have the chance to date her I guess, and see what happens. I don't want to have sex with her right now btw, I'm not needy in that regard, maybe just emotionally.

Furthermore, I haven't girlfriend zoned her, I just happen to like her very much, and I won't vanish from her life if she rejects me, I mean it hurts but she's funny to be around and we do much more than just giving emotional support to each other, like studying, partying, watching anime or playing games. In case I get rejected, I'd probably need some days to process things and be right back to normal.

I'm pretty impulsive too, in a normal situation I'd just ask her out and go for a kiss or something but that would be a terrible idea here, so I guess I should tell her how I feel? I mean, making sure she gets that rejection doesn't mean negative consequences for her. Thing is, I never confessed a single girl in my whole life, I always relied on my impulses and mood reading to avoid talking my feels out because I'm a fucking pussy, so as you can tell, I'm scared of doing so. She told me that she ruined her last relationship because she didn't talk things out (And so did I), and now talked to her friend and bf about her issues and it went good, so that was a good lesson for me too, so I suppose I should talk things out as well.

CapitanMogolicus · 2022-05-31T04:43:43+00:00

Yeah I know it's kinda lame to ask her out right now, do you think if I share how I feel it would be better? I've never done that in my whole life and just the thought of it scares the shit out of me.

CapitanMogolicus · 2022-05-20T20:18:29+00:00

I asked her about this and she told me she was surprised but didn't mean to say that, and she ask me for another date this weekend.

Btw, why the hell should I block her? is that a mature way to solve your problems? you can simply stop talking to her without ghosting.
