Bro, you spend your life in the gym slinging heavy iron.
You conquer 400-pound deadlifts, crush brutal shoulder presses... then reality hits.

You throw out your back just getting out of your damn car.
You get a killer pain in your shoulder from tossing a little ball.
You take a wrong step walking on a perfectly flat sidewalk and boom, your ankle's gone.


Turns out, the real max-out test isn't in the rack. It's called existing.
It's like the regular, everyday stuff is the real final boss. Daily life is the ultimate humbler.
The gym was just the warm-up..... Life, man. It'll humble you real quick. 😂💀
 
Truer words have never been spoken!(typed)
Young guys…
Appreciate your strengths/genetic gifts, and the hard earned sinewy muscle!
Take nothing for granted!
Always, always warm-up properly with a 7 minute stationary bike ride, and several light warmup sets with weights!
Never let your workout partner or some obnoxious douche bag pressure you to hurry your set and jump right to 225Lbs on the inclined bench press.
Learn from my stupidity:I got to the gym late. Skipped my 135Lb and 185Lb warmup sets. Put 225Lbs on the inclined barbell press, and did 22 reps, then “RIP!!!!” Strained the rotator cuff, which became a reoccurring injury weakening the delt in general, leading to rear delt injuries, many rotator cuff injuries, and a torn labrum.
Never use painkillers so you can double your reps on leg press, leg curls, or double your weight on the vertical leg press/spine snapper! In fact, avoid the vertical leg press machine all together! It’s rare to find one these days! That’s some 1970’s style leg equipment. Stupid JJ: friend says, “Try this Nubian! You can leg press all day! It reduces the lactic acid burn after 12 reps. You’ll get 20 reps easy! Just make sure you don’t increase the weight beyond your normal weights. That’s how you get injured!” Well, I didn’t listen! My workout weight for 10 reps on the vertical leg press was 335Lbs. I put 565Lbs on. Reps 1, 2, 3, feeling heavy but no worries, 4, then rippppp!!! Meniscus tear! Never got it fixed! It’s still twisted sideways at a 30 degree angle.
And those were the good days!
Don’t even get me started!!!
OLD MAN TIP: Take lots of selfies in the best possible lighting! Black and white filters add definition. 🤣
Keep the good memories alive so you can be that annoying old guy walking around the gym locker room with your balls hanging out going up to the biggest guy saying, “I used to look like you! I used bench 1,000Lbs! I used to dead lift cars in the gym parking lot!”

Man I can't sneeze normally no matter how hard I try. It's always the most loud sneeze possible, often followed by pain in my shoulder, neck, or scapula, as if I legit got stabbed.

I love the old-school Italian breakfast. (My Ma is Italian).
Sauce over eggs, chunks of cheese w/ home-made bread, home-made Sausage & Capocollo (aka "gabagool"), small glass of home-made red Vino.

My maternal grandma (she's Italian) made something similar but instead of wine for the kids she had grape juice.
