Hard work equals gain?

[ThinkAndGrow]

I was ripped before, and if you look at my pic those were one of my best days. But I hurt my back a while ago and I was out for many months and ate junk so I lost them. I've been back but now I'm very careful. I used to do a lot of leg raises while hanging and on a decline bench but right now that's too much for the lower back. So to be safe I'm doing KNEE RAISES on a roman chair. Most of the time I do this exact exerise for my abs. I do 3 sets of 30. I used to switch my workouts up all the time but I'm staying on this and I still put in a lot of hard work every time I do it. I still get fatigued. Does this mean I will still grow?

Maybe.

There are numerous different variables at play.

Just take it slow and be consistent brah, I had surgery on my right shoulder and it took about 6 months for me to work back up to bench 135. But slow, hard work paid off and I'm benching 345.

Slow and steady when it comes to injuries

you could add weight with ankle weights

Roman chair's a nice variation, with the arms in a more stable position and a back brace to prevent swinging so much.
