Everyone is different, some can go back, some not. Depends on extent of injury, age. I am with you. I ruptured a previous herniated L4 (not at the gym, twisting wrong in my chair at work-go figure)....

You look amazing! Congrats on saving the $$ and making the decision to reward your hard work. Mine abdominal skin goes in 10 days and I have dealt with all the same naysayers and A-holes. "Ya know...

I have lost 100 lbs over the last 2 years. I have been doing serious weight training for about 16 months and have made some really nice gains. My lower abdomen however, is a trainwreck. Lots of loose...

I cannot eat oatmeal, which is okay because I don't really like it but when I have tried to incorporate it in an effort to "up my cals and macros", it is like a big tub of sludge in my stomach....

I get it as I was one of them (and still struggle with the idea of purposely gaining weight) as I started this journey with the focus of losing weight. And I did, 97 pounds. I have since really...

That sound like so much and I know it's not. I've hit 1800 cal days and there isn't necessarily a lot of food. I eat all of that but can definitely incorporate more, especially the beans, which I...

It's weird-most people have told me the regular deads are riskier and I tried some with a light BB and they felt weird to me, like it was putting more strain on my back with that initial lift. I like...

I am trying on the eating, to increase. I don't pay attention any more to weight in pounds. My BF is still too high so I have changed my routine around so that I do 2 sessions of ss cardio on nights...

I started working out a year and a half ago with the intent of losing weight. I lost 97 lbs. I started "lifting" about 9 months ago-more as an effort to "fill in some of the loose skin." My trainer...

Yes, I changed the lifting program. Still same trainer but we had a chat and I basicaly told him he needed to listen to me and what I wanted to achieve or I would go with someone else. I think some...

Okay so I know I shouldn't be obsessed with the numbers on the scale, but since I have steadily gone down for the last year, I am concerned about going up since last Saturday (156 to 160). It's been...

Yes, I hear you. When I met with him this week I said that I knew in order to reach my goals going forward, I needed to go "over there" and pointed to the weight room. So we did. He tried to get me...

Thank you both for the advice. I know the calories are low and I guess I am afraid to up them even though I know I need to. My trainer is a bit weight obsessed and whenever I suggest more cals he...

I am new to the forum but have been purusing the BB.com site for a few months. I am 49 and started this process last August at 235 lbs.
I have a trainer once a week and he has always supported...
