Yesterday, i have posted short article about importance of motivation, following up i am going to provide some background, what has inspired me to write it.
So, i am someone, who has been training in one way or another for the most of my life.
However when i was approaching my 18th birthday, i have endured a significant back injury, which happened while lifting weights.
Since then i have tried many different approaches including endurance work, calisthenics and different types of weight lifting and fitness combinations.
Over several years i learned how to live with that pain in my back and started to treat it as something i have to live with.
Unfortunately, this winter it came back strong and was affecting my life so much that i've decided to do something about it.
So i went to the therapist which after close inspection, prescribed me a lot of stabilizing ecxcercises, and completely forbid me to lift weights.For at least half of the year...
NO MORE DEADLIFTS , NO MORE SQUATS , NO MORE BENCHPRESS
Luckily my back pain went away and i started to feel better and better about it, now almost to the point where it is not a problem anymore, however everything comes at the price...So while i don't feel pain anymore, my body also does not look like i lift and during the summer it is not something that i particularly enjoy.
I have always been passionate about working out so i think it is time for me, to slowly start my journey to come back to not only feeling good, but also looking nice and healthy.
I hope you will find some motivation in this read too.
Thank you for reading.
