It's like a switch flips at 12:00am on your 30th and you're an old man.
If you're not stretching. You better start now. Don't be like me...

There is no switch flip, you neglected your body for years and years and now it hurts. Surprise.
How to prevent boomer body? I’m 23
Build a very strong back. I hurt my a few times years ago and decided enough was enough. I made it a point to strengthen the fuck out of my lower back and core. I still always do isolation for them and I haven't felt back pain in a long time.
What exercises/frequency
Do zercher deadlifts, at least 2x a week (~8 sets per week)
Nope
Take care of yourself. Stretch, do cardio, do resistance training, prioritise sleep, use your mind and work on your career. Find/spend time with friends, don't drink too often
Back extensions
I'm 31 and still feel great
I'm 38, feel great, and people think I'm in my 20s (sunblock works kids)
For me it was 36. It’s like I hit a brick wall at 36 I feel so old fat and slow now. Dick still works and I fucked a sloot today so there’s that but damn bros it’s all so fleeting
Im 35 and Im permanently semi hard and leaking precum. No aches besides one of my hips and one of my knees a bit.
>unsnaps your shit in just 5 minutes a day
heh
Seems counterintuitive but working my back harder helped me when I was having problems. Back extensions/lightweight deadlifts with your back arched all the way back. Hardest thing is breaking a lifelong bad posture habit
What are you talking about? I’m 30 and lift 6 days a week.
yep. i snapped my shit deadlifting at 29 and my lower back has never been the same. you just learn to live with it. i don't judge old boomers with limited mobility anymore because now i understand
how to avoid snapping your shit with deadlifting? just don't egolift and build up strength slowly?
Yes, learn how to brace, don't egolift, avoid 1 rep maximums.
DOMS are so nasty at 38
back is fine tho
I feel like DOMS has only decreased over time
It might actually be in your head
Fucking love planking. I rarely get back pain (usually due to forgetting to fix posture) these days now that I've lost weight but when I do, planks fix them.
I’m 35 and have no back issues.
i threw my back out at 29 picking up a towel after i had a shower
couldnt get out of bed for 6 days
32 now it constantly feels like i'm one wrong movement away from it happening again
feels REAL fuckin bad boys
I’m 32 and I don’t feel any pain, just the occasional DOMS after recovery weeks
I lifted heavy OHP and deadlifted big weights and got a ruptured disc and ensuing sciatic pain when I was about 29.
It seems like it builds up over time and can happen eventually if you lift either of those lifts heavy.
Just make sure to dead hang, hang upside on the chair thing posted regularly. I was able to unsnap my shit without surgery by decompressing my spine with those things, visiting a physio who put me in a machine which pulled my spine to unsnap my shit and swimming regularly which provides great relief.
No deadlifts no snaps
I'm 37 and discovered the fountain of youth it's hot yoga I haven't had shoulder or back pain in ages. My body looks I'm 21 years old
37, I fixed my back pain by doing 5x10 1pl8 deadlifts every morning before breakfast. I'd probably do lighter and higher volume but the 20kg plate has the best height for comftable form and I don't want to buy bumper plates.
And yeah, I can still do my 1x5 leg day deadlift with no problem even if I do my high volume pulls.
serious question can you skip deadlifts altogether? they seem like the easiest way to snap your shit
yes literally useless exercise
Yes. You should in fact skip them. The best things for your back is bad posture and weak muscles. Women also find men with bad posture very attractive regardless of what the confidencecels and chadpilled people online tell you. And women also hate an athletic ass
This anon is right, you should skip deadlift and do better exercises for your posterior chain, like kettlebell swings and cleans, rack pulls, etc.. back-friendly exercises that don't include express tickets to Snap City.
Kettlebell Rus. Swings and Goblet Squats are good for posterior chain and legs, probably only thing you want to do regarding "power moves" for that portion with extra load as far as preventing injury. Chin ups and pull ups are fine though.
Women hate athletic ass because its better than what they got. Women are jealous creatures.
Yeah. 30 yo boomer here. I've been trying to DL for 12+ years and every time I got to 3 pl8 the lower back pain was annoying. Despite delaying down to the bar, stretching, slow progress carefully done, I still couldn't get my squat and DL up without knee or back pain respectively. Eventually I just gave up on them and for the last year been doing RDL, leg press, lunges. Literally no problems and my legs and ass look fine.
Deloading* to the bar
Post ass
I'm 38 and I fucking powerlift and pretty much have zero pain. Use good form, rest and don't jack your shit up trying to hit a PR.
I am 36 and I've been getting back pain in recent months. I started stretching every day 3 weeks ago and I think it's already working but I still got spots that feel like they're permanently inflamed, a bulging disc (L4/L5) and tendonitis in other areas.
Bird Dogs, Upward Facing Dogs and Child Pose, most important stretches anyone can do together with Deadhangs.
Absolute bullshit unless you have shit genetics or never took care of yourself before.
A deadlift is literally one of the most natural movements a human can do. It's just picking up something off the ground! "Oh I'm 30 and deadlifts make my back hurt" lol lmao
maybe up to like 160lbs. Most people never lift something heavier than 80lbs in their lives though. Modern humans are so fucking atrophied you wouldn't even believe.
the body wasn't build to withstand punishment for a lengthy period of time. Our bodies wear out very quickly compared to how much life we now enjoy due to technology.
not many old people are doing heavy deadlifts
