Most people say that fitness and lifting in general shouldn't be a lifestyle, it should just be another 'hobby' that you do like everything else. Lifestyle is just a lifestyle when it's a main component of your life that you're willing to do for the rest of your life so I have no idea why people think having that lifestyle is a detriment to their own lives unless it's just pure cope from the person spouting all the bullchit

Also changing programs constantly was a fault, just need to always stick to the big three compounds and then input any accessory with whatever lifting method you can

Progressive overload is the best thing a natural can do, but also training in varying rep ranges and having a diet is key. That asian powerlifter doesn't even bulk, just stays at the same weight and focuses on CNS training

I still hit them both respectively for 3/5 plates for 1 in the last few weeks without training them, but give me a 8-10 weeks of doing them again and it would be for reps. That's my point

I think just doing a variation of different exercises and getting strong as possible at them all is key, its good to change it every so often too, but of course you'll probably have your staple movements. And yeah true, the more frequent you do something the better you're going to be at it. Just do the movements frequently enough so it doesn't feel foreign when you come back to it and you'll be fine.

It's honestly safe to say brahs the reason why I'm still in this chithole of a forum is because of the lifters here, the advice, the stories and experiences pretty much sums it all up. I don't come here for laughs anymore because it isn't that type of place. People really dragged it down and it's filled with social rejects and generally mentally ill kids

I have to admit it has been difficult getting back to the gym after they've been closed.
It's very easy to just not bother but then I fell and look like crap.
I'm finally back on track.

Thats life son sometimes **** happens
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."
