Ha, well, I made a lifestyle of doing cardio as a teenager so unfortunately at this stage I have a cardio body. There was a while in my late teens and early 20s when I was doing martial arts that I had an excellent balance. I'll definitely try adding more weights. My back, to the right, by my ribs, the muscles hurt like they're hooked on something. Any advice?

That bozo doesn't know what he's talking about. Cardio is key especially if u get into a scrape that turns into a wrestling match. If u run out of steam you're cooked. I've fought muscle bound meatheads that had no wind & made quick work outta em back in the day.

Cardio has definitely gotten me to outlast an aggressor. Unfortunately, I've rarely managed to land a worthwhile punch. Usually if I've managed to end the fight on my terms it was with a throw. Just for once I'd like to turn out the lights :-) These days though, I don't know what would happen. Been a while since I've thrown down.

Dude, that looks exactly like my problem. Thanks. I see some exercises to do on YT, including foam rolling. I'll try giving them a go.

When you do stuff for your back, don’t overload at first without practicing form. Squeeze your lats like you want your shoulder blades to meet. You need to learn to mentally activate the muscle-the only muscles in your body that will self-activate are your biceps.

When your back feels shitty the next day, make sure you’re stretching it out and just keep moving. The day after? More back. The best cure for back is back.

Unless you want to be able to run a couple miles at a time without passing out or stopping and gasping for air like a fat turd.
