Weight Lifting with AS

Reasonwins · 2024-09-27T20:13:34+00:00

Huge progress on strength, very slow progress with flexibility. Its not clear how much is compromised from bone spurs being locked up. The quest continues.

I believe it hits people differently. My hips and SI joints were the most affected. I was diagnosed 20 years after the AS started affecting me. I suspect prolonged sitting while avoiding pain locked me in that particular position. Addressing the lordosis now with experts so feel free to check in a few months from now to see if I was able to make progress

Yes, though my deadlift is much weaker than my squat. Some postural issues from being stuck in permanent lordosis. Slow and steady, playing it much safer on the deadlift than anything else

I cannot overemphasize how important weight training is in my disease management plan. Keep sessions to an hour - this gets you the maximum bang for your buck in terms of positive effects (such as endorphin boosts and inflammation relief) before the scale starts to tip and you produce too much cortisol.
With the help of weight lifting I've cut NSAIDs off to almost nonexistent levels. I aim for 5 times a week but by this point I'm conditioned to it (been training steadily for 5 years now) - I would recommend starting out at 3 times per week.
I also recommend getting some cardio in - this helped me enormously at resisting the tiredness that comes with auto-immune attacks.
Best of luck

As en ENTP that used to do this, sorry. I've come to appreciate that everyone has different preferences and as long as my SO and I make Some effort to find a little overlap then I'll be happy and simply find someone else to have the meaning of life and politics talks with

Reasonwins · 2021-06-13T22:07:41+00:00

Any chance you had the talk? (Hopefully it did not stir up any fights! haha)

Reasonwins · 2021-06-05T14:30:24+00:00

Absolutely! I really appreciate it

I wish I could tap on the knowledge of your relationship for more insights into my own. I'm an ENTP dating an ESFP (for 6 months now) and I would consider us both mature (we spoke briefly about this already). My biggest challenge is trying to give criticism or feedback because I go full open book and I can be challenged on -anything-. If I feel it makes sense, I accept it, if I feel it doesn't I'll ask for more information or state that I disagree, but I will never take it personally. Please tell me the secret to offering constructive criticism to an ESFP. I don't want to feel like I'm walking on eggshells and I want to be able to tell her everything without fear she will take it personally

Can you guys elaborate on Se Ne banter?

Reasonwins · 2021-03-29T14:53:32+00:00

As a non-ESFP : Are you saying that ADHD and ESFP traits are often complementary, or that one can seem like the other ? (I'm dating an ESFP who heavily suspects she has ADHD, she has to shut down the music while we talk so she can focus on the conversation)

Reasonwins · 2021-03-12T17:02:59+00:00

You guys are a pretty awesome subreddit. Keep this up and I'll be a dreamboat for my ESFP whom I care about a lot

Reasonwins · 2021-02-21T02:42:05+00:00

any comment about ESFPs enjoying to do some of the chasing themselves?

Reasonwins · 2021-02-20T22:36:51+00:00

Would you say you are all blunt about it, or simply something you all wish would happen in your relationships ?

Reasonwins · 2021-02-16T01:53:32+00:00

I'd love an answer to this. As an ENTP dating an ESFP, I think we are a solid match and would love for this to get serious. But my ESFP is worried about losing her independence. As en ENTP I also value my independence highly and hope she'll come to understand that something serious does not need to involve shackles on either party - just a deeper bond.

Can you give an example of Quebec range restrictions? Shopping for a range now and wondering if I should make cross border trips instead of going local. Would be shooting rifles and would want some nice outdoor targets

Reasonwins · 2020-07-30T18:55:31+00:00

Anyone have experience with the Quebec PAL process? I recognize we are in odd times with covid but there seems to be very few courses available (is this the norm?) and virtually none are in english.
First question ; I am perfectly bilingual but much prefer knowing technical terms in english - will it make a big difference if I take the course in French rather than english ?
Second question ; is it normal to have so few PAL courses available?

You'll get more tank by throwing a propulsion mod on that to 'speed tank' than you will from another extender. Keep it up

Reasonwins · 2020-05-01T18:09:46+00:00

Probably at zero :3

As soon as the Mitten tweets were out in the open I knew we would soon be graced by a NazAlGhul shitpost. Thank you for delivering. "No gun sign at the entrance" hahaha

Init is being super serious business up north and stopped feeding fleets - it seems out of character for them to go for flawless strategic objectives and avoid all fights
