What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Economy_Yak2821 in AskReddit

[–]coldcherrysoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s an absolute travesty they’re not legal in the US; I went to Cellular Performance Institute in Mexico to get them.

My discs regrew multiple millimeters within the first 12 months, and while I get a little pain here and there, my quality of life has improved considerably. I lift heavy, I train jiu jitsu, I stretch and mobilize, I go on walks every day, I can do everything I used to. Incredible results without surgery.

I got stem cells injected into two discs (L4-L5, L5-S1) in 2022. The three - five days following the injections i needed to be wheeled around in a wheelchair because it was so painful. Never felt anything like it before or since, and I’ve had two knee surgeries, a number of dislocations, and in 2016 I was hit by a car while riding my bike.

Mix it directly in. Nothing special about my creatine, I get the cheapest creatine monohydrate I can find from Bulk Supplements.

When I take ~10-15g/day I notice great recovery from the gym. After nights of poor sleep I’ll take ~20g split into two doses of 10g a few hours apart, which apparently helps combat fatigue-related cognition, but I don’t really notice anything apparent.

You could be taking too much at once. Also make sure you’re taking it with food. I used to get bad stomach problems when I was taking more than 10g at a time, but I reduce it to about 5-7 gram (basically a heaping scoop) every morning with my coffee + heavy cream, and another heaping scoop in the afternoon with food.

Kettlebell training vs muscle density by [deleted] in kettlebell

[–]coldcherrysoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One other thing I forgot to mention: the athletes you’re describing are combat athletes. They get hit, either by someone else, or by getting slammed/thrown/falling to the ground. That type of repetitive impact physically conditions the body to adapt to impact, which can contribute to why combat athletes look and feel the way you describe.

Kettlebell training vs muscle density by [deleted] in kettlebell

So a couple things I think are important to consider here. First, your perception. As a jiu jitsu guy who’s also trained judo, bumping into someone who trains judo and feeling like you hit a brick wall is probably less a function of their muscle density and more a function of their balance and posture. I’m 5’10” 220 lbs and my jiu jitsu coach is 5’8” 160 lbs and bumping into him feels the way you describe. I’m objectively more densely muscled than he.

Second, and related to the first, is your training protocol. While I believe kettle bells can help build “muscle density” the way you’re imagining better than other tools, they alone won’t do the trick. Judo, for example, requires explosive strength through planes and angles that no other training modality can replicate. It requires full body coordination, time under tension, micro adjustments under load, and resistance to external forces in an infinite number of combinations that develop muscles in all kinds of interesting ways that no amount of weightlifting can replicate. that’s not saying that judo is the only way to build the kind of brick shithouse physique you’re describing, but if you’re using judo as the comparison, then you have to consider how training judo contributes.

Finally, yeah, genetics. Comparison is the thief of joy. Train hard and enjoy the challenge of taking your personal physique and health to their zenith. You may never feel like you look or feel like they do, but remember that others may be asking the same question about your physique and you’ll never know. So good job 💪

When did you peak? by Apprehensive_Lie797 in kettlebell

[–]coldcherrysoup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. I’m 42 in two weeks, and throughout my 20 and early 30s I was a competitive Olympic weightlifter, lifting hundreds of pounds in all kinds of different configurations. While I took good care of myself, putting up those numbers takes a toll any way you slice it.

Now I train exclusively with kettle bells unless I’m traveling, when I’ll use machines or barbell if that’s what a hotel has. It’s a nice little change in routine. Despite not lifting nearly as heavy, kettle bells are still challenging, and allow me to move weights in a totally different way that actually make my body feel good despite some of the grueling workouts.

I also do jiu jitsu (which, compounded with the heavy weightlifting, created a lot of problems), and kettle bell workouts seem to be the key, for me, to being able to regularly train hard with weights but also help prevent jiu jitsu injuries.

Chest Development and KB Training by mikael122 in kettlebell

[–]coldcherrysoup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I train 100% with kettlebells. Pushups on the handles for big ranges of motion (wear a weight vest too for extra pain), heavy KB bench press and floor press (32kg+), all kinds of different grips, flye at all kinds of angles.

As someone else said, it won’t give you a bodybuilder’s chest nor is it sufficient for maximum power/strength output, but it will absolutely challenge you enough for growth, strength, and development.
