At age 16, I had a herniated disc and terrible back pain.
The advice they give you to "rest" just leaves your back pain worse and you stuck on pain meds.
But now in my 30s, I´m pain free.
Here are my top 5 exercises to fix back pain (bookmark this): 🧵
1. 45 Degree Back Extensions
These have been key for strengthening my glutes and erectors to improve my spinal stability.
Start with bodyweight and 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps.
Then once that´s too easy, begin holding a very light barbell.
Apply progressive overload over time.

Creatine is not a steroid.
It’s the one supplement everyone should be taking
You, your mom, dad, siblings, and especially your grandparents.
Give me 2 minutes & I’ll tell you about the benefits + how to supplement it properly:

If I had magically woke up with a big belly today & my goal was to become unrecognizable by 2026, here's everything I'd do: 1. Prioritize protein.

It will help you feel more full, burn more calories, and build muscle. (I'll list some foods later)

After 15 years in the gym, here's every fitness tip I could come up with:
(Bookmark this to get in the best shape of your life)
1. STOP trying to out run a poor diet.
Speaking from experience, trying to out cardio a poor diet is foolish.
You can eat 400 calories from a slice of pizza in less than a minute.
Meanwhile it takes 30 minutes of running to burn 400 calories.
Fix your diet or you'll NEVER see the eye-popping results you want.

I'm 31.
I’ve been in the gym for 14+ years.
Coached clients for 7+.
Here's every fitness tip I wish I knew at 21:
1. Cut down on booze or you will lose.
2. Just because you do cardio doesn’t mean you’ll lose fat. No calorie deficit, no fat loss. Nutrition is 🔑
3. Your weight loss chart will never be a straight line down. Getting angry at the scale is a waste of energy, keep being consistent & eventually the results will come.
