Adding hip and shoulder mobility drills to my everyday routine

Wish I would have started 15 years ago

Was naturally a decent athlete and always thought of my body as invincible. I would give up every ounce of muscle I've built over the last 2 years and start from the beginning as a trade off for great flexibility

I'm gonna preface this by saying that I fully believe that in most pre-workouts, the caffeine is really the only ingredient that really matters. Popping a caffeine pill or drinking a cup of coffee before a workout will get you 90-100% of the same results as any other pre-workout (other than the ones with the borderline illegal stimulants of course).

this is my secret. But I dont necessarily drink it before hand, just the coffee I drink thruout the day is enough to carry me over.

I tell ppl this at the gym and they're just all like :ohhh:

How was that?! Even though I could probably do it, it looks like I something I would wanna do lol

==========================

I woke up yesterday morning and wanted to go ham on some all day working out shyt. Went to the trail and ran/jogged/walked/did some HIIT for about 30 minutes. Then went to the gym and hooped for another 3 hours. I never really felt tired, wind-wise, just tired of playing. It's official though, I'm in the best shape of my life at age 24! Better than I was in my basketball playing days of 13-17, and better than when I hooped religiously and lifted 18-21. I woke up this morning not feeling sore at all, other than my fingers jammed and forearms tight (basketball reasons). I feel like I can still push myself to do more strenuous things, maybe a Tough Mudder...?

MY ELBOW :damn: This shyt is still hurting randomly, took an extra week off for this shyt. I missed 2 months total due to injuries this year (1 month fractured finger, 1 1/2 week shoulder & going on 2 1/2 weeks for my elbow) I'm bout to just start this dirty bulk now & hit the gym back up mid Sept. This year is a loss. :sadbron:

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I think if you're in decent shape you should be able to get through all of the obstacles. We are trying to get a team together next year 'cause it was actually pretty fun and the energy and team spirit from everyone around you helps you to stick it out 'til the end:yes:
