!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

The best thing I ever did for my back was take up weightlifting (Specifically deadlifts) I've got degenerative disease plus a herniated disc plus spinal arthritis and was living with chronic pain, and now I feel like I'm 20 again. I would encourage anybody with back pain to add deadlifts to their life if possible. Anybody needs any help getting started can drop me a line

I would heart this if I could. I just started lifting about 2 months ago.

That's awesome! Honestly I think its the best possible thing you can do for yourself. As your strength level comes up you start getting more useful and harder to injure

Man, that sounds exactly like me, only trying to get back to lifting (I used to, long before the back issues) was brutal pain. Just couldn't hack it.
