I've had a lot of obstacles throughout the years gym membership after gym membership I just didn't know how to cut up. I was lifting 200lbs on the press machine like 10x one time when I was healing I felt my muscle rip a little

Then some years after I had too much muscular atrophy and got a hernia which I never got treated. I knew a yoga pose that helped but it didn't work out.

Fast forward to now

So recently I just said f this I have a little motivation I'm going to start with 10's and do a set of a few upper body exercises every hour or when I can throughout the day or night just before I feel the pump.

I have this 5 minute oat extract that helps me recover faster and my hard times are almost over I'm going to enjoy live again.

Did you get surgery for the hernia?

Sounds like you've been through quite a bit, so it's good to see you're finding a way to train consistently again. Starting light and rebuilding gradually is often the smartest move after injuries, layoffs, or periods of atrophy. The biggest mistake is usually trying to make up for lost time too quickly.

I'd just be careful with the hernia history and pay attention to any pain or pressure during training. Consistency with manageable weights will take you much further than pushing hard too soon. Glad to hear your motivation is coming back, and I hope things keep moving in a positive direction for you.
