Last week a few people kept sending me to follow up with a famous influencer who has been in pain for 6-8 months. They are probably already getting tons of DMs but I wanted to write this here anyway.
Being in pain really is frustrating and anyone in pain knows what I am talking about, it’s debilitating. Pain is a complex issue, and can have a lot of factors. Acute vs chronic, emotional, physical, genetic, and there are dozens of different reasons why people experience pain.
Unfortunately, one thing that I see is happening far too often. Pace of living increased. I saw an article where it points out how people are rushing with their meals, commutes, work and daily life.
I’m tired of watching people destroy themselves in my gym too. Workouts becoming faster and faster. It’s screams - “The more you push, the more success you will receive”
Run a marathon for breakfast, 2 hour EMOMs and push your body to the limits to achieve 10,000 pull ups in a day. Steroid abuse, 69 different supplements. We have gone from being normally active and sedentary to glorifying absolute madness of achievements that might actually be very health effecting, nerve damaging and could be far from this glorious achievement that people think they are. Shared too often shared here. The success story. But… The raw truth is these people pay the ultimate price.. spinal fusions, loss of fingers and some cause death. Dramatic, I think not. Look at some famous bodybuilder in the wheel chair for the rest of their life. Some make it of course.
This doesn’t mean I am against pushing limits, it means there is a great way to deal with it smartly, and in the way which doesn’t cost you health, mental health, family and more.
If you’re using fitness to escape your demons, if you’re pushing past every warning sign your body gives you... this post is for you.
