Hit the gym brother. Instead of starting my work out journey now in my 30s.

I was fortunate enough to have had a fast metabolism through out my 20s but starting a workout habit earlier would've helped maintain it better.

Yeah i did this then injured myself at 24and spent the last 6 years out of the gym.

I'm back in now and i am making great progress from previous experience and muscle memory.

Its not as easy now but i cant imagine starting from nothing at all now.

Good luck with your journey though.

Every day you go to the gym is a little closer to improving and the days you dont want to do it and still do are the days you make the most gains.

Wow, 6 years. What was your injury?

I crushed the gell between facet joints in my lower back, then i tore the tendon that lets my wrist move side to side out ofbits spot and had to be a reattached.

Not one afterbthe otherbbut a few years apart causeing a long time out of the gym

Heavy diesel fitting is a killer to the body
