    you have no idea what you are doing and you are doing the wrong things and you are drawing the wrong conclusions from the wrong things you are doing. You are lost.

        You are doing the wrong things, because you are a compleat bozo. Get off this board, and actually try hard at the right things.

    injured doing normal shit
    What injuries from what movements?
    >>Have to keep workouts short or else the amount of food I need to eat to recover is cost-prohibitive/fattening
    Sleep more and get your micronutrients, those will help. Also, generally going through as much clean food as possible while maintaining your bodyweight (or going through a slow bulk) is probably ideal for recovery, in this case you'd be wanting to keep your protein high due to TEF while also keeping your NEAT high as well as doing some LISS to burn off a couple hundred calories without heavily fatiguing yourself (like with HIIT for example).
    >>Work capacity low anyway; was already low when I was younger, but now that I'm in my 30s it's gone completely to shit
    Keep your NEAT high (step count is arbitrary, but if you get 10-12k a day you're probably somewhat active) while also doing LISS cardio helps a lot here. Doing supersets and giantsets in your training is another way of passively improving your work capacity while also saving time
    >>Too broke to afford TRT
    You don't need it anyway

    No point crying over spilled milk. I've fricked up my left shoulder, left elbow, both patellar tendons, both wrists, and my lower back, but I learnt from it and fixed all of those issues, and currently I'm able to train with no issues.

      >What injuries from what movements?
      Wrist from basic push movements like pushups, back bridges; various hip/leg/feet injuries from calisthenics; neck injury from crawls; shoulder injury from presses. I think there is a lateral imbalance in some way that I can't locate or correct for (may be related to my hypotropia from an orbital injury and the fact that I'm missing my palmaris longis in one arm but not the other).
      >LISS, NEAT, sleep
      I take extended walks every day and superset with low weight/assisted analogues with every compound movement. They help, but I still run into those problems.

      I hope it gets better but I'm tired of this happening over and over.

        For pushups you can just use parallettes to take the pressure off of the wrist, this is only a band-aid though. You could try training all of the functions of the wrist/fingers (wrist flexion/extension, finger flexion/extension, radial/ulnar deviation, and supination/pronation) since you probably have an imbalance somewhere. Yes it's fricking annoying but it's better than nothing. For wrist flexion/extension, get your extension strength to be 50% of your flexion strength. For finger extension, just get some rubber bands and spam finger extensions for high reps, or you can stick your hand into a bucket of sand or rice and spam finger extensions in there. For radial/ulnar deviation and supination/pronation, you want these to get stronger (duh) while also keeping them balanced in terms of strength, and as for supination/pronation you probably want to improve your ROM over time
        >various hip/leg/feet injuries from calisthenics
        Can't give any advice without specifics
        >neck injury from crawls
        Only thing I can recommend is neck training, if the standard neck curls or whatever hurt then you should aim to do isometrics
        >shoulder injury from presses
        Train your infraspinatus/teres minor (external rotation), rear delts, and lower traps/mid traps/rhomboids. Also do dead hangs and shoulder dislocations. Not a silver bullet, but it might help (Strengthening external rotation does instantly fix shoulder issues in some people, but not everyone).
        >I take extended walks every day and superset with low weight/assisted analogues with every compound movement. They help, but I still run into those problems.
        Hmm, not really sure what you can do besides trying to ramp the intensity over time. Walking has so many benefits, but if you really want to push work capacity I think LISS on some kind of cardio machine is slightly better because it's easier to overload over time.

            Oh yeah by the way, for rear delts and mid traps/rhomboids I HIGHLY recommend doing powell raises (do them on a bench tho, a lot of images show them being performed on the ground which is shit bc you don't get a full stretch). They're insanely good, you hardly need any weight but your rear delts and mid traps/rhomboids get absolutely fried from just a few sets. Do 5-10 reps with very exaggerated eccentrics, start with light weight. Very easy to superset as well

              Also make sure to bring your upper arm across your upper chest on the eccentric, not across your mid/lower chest. You get a better stretch that way and you also avoid jamming your humerus into your shoulder in a weird way (trust me, while it won't injure you it feels absolutely awful when that happens lmao). To be more specific with the eccentric I think 2-4 seconds is a good duration, 5 would be the absolute maximum (more than that is just unnecessary IMO)

        Your mad because you can't get past barely looking like you train as a caligay? That's cute, your probably doing great though caligays are always hurting themselves.
