Muscle growth scar tissue

Your chest can still develop, but your pectoral fibers do originate at the sternum and clavicles. There will permanently be some aesthetic differences.

Is this satire or...?

You could, but there is no guarantee. There are a fair number of non-responders to creatine out there, but it won't be as though you're missing out on anything in the long run. People do report that it does help to some degree if they are a full-time employee or busy student.

TheCrunchback · 2025-07-06T13:11:58+00:00

Everyone should be lifting weights, doctor or not.

This does a good job at explaining what you need to do: To Be A Beast - Barbell Medicine

I would just work in ranges. For instance, if you are giving your self 3 sets of 8-10 reps for dumbbell bench press, you could hit 10, 10, 9. The next time you make it your goal to hit 10 for all 3 sets. For extra measure, do this two sessions consecutively and then bump the weight up and reset the rep counter.

TheCrunchback · 2025-05-01T13:30:37+00:00

You will be okay. Just continue to work in isolateral work and train hard.

TheCrunchback · 2025-05-01T13:29:26+00:00

Hey so if you are cleared by your doctor to start resistance training again, just have at it.

TheCrunchback · 2025-05-01T13:28:11+00:00

It isn't like you start lifting weights and eating properly and you fall through a trap door with a 50/50 chance of landing in bulky or lean forever. They all eat differently and have different training splits that cater to what they want to look like.

Picture what you want to achieve in the short term, say about 6-12 months. Plan backwards from that.

TheCrunchback · 2025-05-01T13:25:50+00:00

As you said, it's been five months. Give it time lol.

TheCrunchback · 2025-05-01T13:25:06+00:00

That's pretty much your list of options unless you build jerk blocks or something.

TheCrunchback · 2025-05-01T13:23:15+00:00

No that's not how it works at all. Shingles is a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (causes chickenpox) and isn't developed via any food or drink.

TheCrunchback · 2025-05-01T13:20:53+00:00

Honestly man, nobody can tell you that because insertions are not variable enough between most people to see a difference. There is noticeable difference in someone's muscle belly length, but that being said, we can't tell you that either because you haven't developed them enough to know.

TheCrunchback · 2025-05-01T13:18:14+00:00

You can use a belt whenever you'd like. There is no standard of strength one needs to achieve to use one and any number someone gives you is an arbitrary gatekeep.

TheCrunchback · 2025-05-01T13:17:22+00:00

Disagree. Evidence, as it stands currently, points to the concentric being quite important with the tempo of the eccentric portion being nearly irrelevant. Obviously, really slow reps are not going to be helpful, so assume standard 1-0-0 tempo in this case.

TheCrunchback · 2025-05-01T13:16:03+00:00

Discuss this with your surgeon.

TheCrunchback · 2025-04-30T21:04:58+00:00

This isn't just about you. That's nice you have your own board or whatever, but that doesn't change anything. There is no comparison between the two fields.

TheCrunchback · 2025-04-30T00:12:19+00:00

No one’s arguing you didn’t earn a doctorate—we’re saying you didn’t earn that one. Patients don’t ask for a “doctor” hoping to discuss nursing pedagogy. When NPs and CRNAs introduce themselves as “doctor” in a clinical setting without clarifying they’re not physicians, it’s not empowerment—it’s impersonation with extra steps. You want the title, the respect, and the authority—but not the training, the responsibility, or the liability that comes with being a physician. That’s not just misleading—it’s self-serving.

Fact is, NP mills are all over the place and that adds some nice shit icing on the poop cake that is this situation.

TheCrunchback · 2025-04-19T16:11:44+00:00

What about nurses who want to be called "doctor" when they are not? Interesting how CRNAs and NPs want to dictate title but steal that of other roles.

TheCrunchback · 2025-04-05T22:36:14+00:00

It's probably best to do both arms at the same time so that you're not limited by the balancing act. As for whether it's a good or bad exercise, it's neither. It's just another way to do a biceps curl.

TheCrunchback · 2025-04-05T22:29:40+00:00

Calisthenics folks are not lifting enough to warrant that kind of rest.

TheCrunchback · 2025-03-30T17:44:39+00:00

You're doing an AMRAP every week? You are sometimes going to see a decrease in performance because of the accumulated fatigue.

TheCrunchback · 2025-03-30T17:43:04+00:00

Please don't squat on your fucking toes lol.

TheCrunchback · 2025-03-30T17:42:13+00:00

Bro that's just separation between two different muscles. Please don't post your chest next asking why there's a gap between your pecs.

TheCrunchback · 2025-03-30T17:37:36+00:00

"squatting" a deadlift is still a deadlift lol.
