Was that a compliment or a bad insult? 😛

Let's pretend that it was a lovely compliment, shall we?

I know, it feels awful at the time, but later you will look back on it and say “what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.”

This is how I've lived my life so far, so yes, this is excellent advice.

I have a friend who "pumps iron" and he told me that once but in the context of doing his thing at the "iron works". He said if you try and lift above your ability without a spotter the possibility of there being a potentially deadly outcome is pretty good. With a spotter to help then you may indeed become stronger.
Just saying. 🤔

It is, but I wouldn't go through it again though. 🙂

Always best to have a spotter when doing squats or bench pressing. I never worked out alone that would just be plain well to put it bluntly dumb!

You would think by now it wouldn't even bother you! 😉

Every letdown and setback in my life has made me stronger. That doesn't mean they don't hurt. So you deal with it. That is what makes you stronger. Most people see this, Rusty. You just like to piss on people's parades. Admit it.

I’ve found the same thing. When something has gone wrong I’ve struggled with it but have then later learned something new about myself; a compensatory positive, a good feeling about having coped or a creative idea. I don’t believe for a minute that great art comes from having breezed through a trouble free life.

Yes, I agree. Billie Holiday wasn't a great blues singer because she had an easy-peasy Little Miss Sunshine life.

You seem to hurt easy and need others support Suzie Q.

I certainly wouldn't come on here and talk about things you do, you sound like your whining really!

I know you don't see that!
