pull down to refresh

Whoop whoop! You gonna be massive!
If I could get back to the physique I had two years ago I would be happy. Was in good shape working out at least 5 days a week. Now I would say I am in ok shape.
I had a herniated disc in my back a year and a half ago and that really slowed me down. Didn't do much besides walking for a couple months and then when I got back into exercising it was just lifting light weights 3 times a week. Now I am lifting a big heavier, but still not heavy, 4 times a week. Hopefully the daily push ups give me some momentum to get back to my routine from two years ago.
My son has a daily workout he does for taekwondo which includes kicks he practices, push ups, sit ups, squats, planks and 30 mins on the exercise bike. I did it with him a couple weeks ago and was able to complete the whole work out but I was sore for days.

It’s really good you are back into the routine of exercise - a disc prolapse is no joke either physically or mentally.
As with any training it’s about overload to allow you to improve. As the total number doesn’t get any larger (with this method) the number of reps per set needs to increase or the rest between sets decrease.
And always remember; sore today, strong tomorrow….

The mental side of it was a big component. Being willing to test yourself but know your limits as well.
Good advice.
