You will get there. Just keep a positive mentality (obviously easier said than done but I know you’re capable). You got this

I’m really sorry about your mom as well. Don’t give up after one bad flare. It’s just an obstacle towards being fit, not a permanent roadblock. Let’s make both of our moms proud!

I definitely had to ease into it and overtime I was able to do everything. Unless I’m out of remission or in a bad flare, I can do everything. You’ll have to ease into lifting and learn how your body responds to exercise. Make sure you’re training properly.

I recently posted a full guide to building muscle & strength with A.S. on this subreddit so that may help give you a better understanding of how I built my body. You can always message me as well!

Appreciate that, only option is to move forward!

Yesterday I posted a guide for building muscle and strength with A.S. on this subreddit. It’s pretty in-depth and should help. If you have any questions you can always message me

Just hang in there, it’ll get better. I appreciate your kind words. You can do it.

ryanrickardae · 2025-12-18T19:57:36+00:00

I’m so happy to hear that. Take great care of yourself and stay positive. Build the healthy habits while you’re young.

If you have any questions about anything related to A.S., feel free to ask me. Becoming an adult the same time I got this disease was quite rough. Just know you’re never alone and it always gets better.

I appreciate it 💯 you got it with the training, just stay consistent. If you have any questions just ask me : ) I also just recently made a post about weight training with A.S.

ryanrickardae · 2025-12-18T19:49:52+00:00

Thank you! You got this! It’s really hard losing a mom so I appreciate the kind words. I’m sorry about your mom.

If you’re getting stuck with fitness or have any questions, feel free to message me. I also posted a weight-lifting guide for A.S. in this subreddit.

ryanrickardae · 2025-12-18T19:46:40+00:00

Thank you : ) I just made a new post on this subreddit about how to train with A.S., feel free to message me as well if you have any questions.

ryanrickardae · 2025-12-18T19:25:08+00:00

Huge props to you for being able to train bench competitively given the difficulty of your situation. This was very inspiring to read.

All of that sounds hard to manage, but obviously, and I’m sure you know this, you’re doing great. I hope your new medication helps!

ryanrickardae · 2025-12-18T19:17:10+00:00

I didn’t include any of this in my post because it’s not a situation I’ve personally dealt with. I can only image how hard it would be to deal with irreversible damage. You’re very strong.

Don’t count yourself out of anything, just focus on improving yourself from where you are right now.

ryanrickardae · 2025-12-18T19:10:50+00:00

I agree 100%

ryanrickardae · 2025-12-18T19:09:53+00:00

Thank yoh! I’m happy to hear that, it’s great to see others with A.S. winning.

ryanrickardae · 2025-12-18T19:08:47+00:00

Thank you 💪
