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.

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.

Since I'm an old bastard I haven't been in a fight in almost two decades. I used to scrape a lot when I was a young & dumb. I never knocked anyone out but I did break some steroid boy beast's jaw back in the day. I made a smartass remark to the guy after he got thrown out of the club. The monster grabbed by the back of my neck picked me up, slammed me on the ground & was probably going to kick my ass. My buddy had ran to help but was being held back by bouncers. Dude turned towards my pal & took a poke at him. In that moment I jumped up & crushed him w/ a vicious uppercut. After the loud crack the whole bar cheered. He staggered mumbled something & walked off. I went back in the whole place was patting & rubbing my back congratulating me. I felt like I was going to Disney World......HA HA HA. One of my buddies knew the guy & told me later I broke his jaw in 2 places. Since the guy lived in a few towns over I made a point of avoiding High Point parties for a few years after that....HeHee Sorry bout the glory days reminiscing. Adios

Whatever smartass. Thanks but I'd rather get my cardio blading the shore line in S FLA. All the hotties in bikinis keep me motivated. Otherwise 50 push ups every morning has kept me toned enough. If I could only get inspired to do some sit ups.....Oh Well
