Getting back in it
So little back story my lung collapsed over a year ago due to air leaking out of my lung (pnuemomediastinum) and filling my chest cavity resulting in a negative pressure causing the collapse.
To be completely honest I'm still not right, I'm short of breath constantly and getting through a hour workout is just hell. I think its partly because I laid around and didnt do much for the better part of 10 months. I used up all of my short term disability and medical leave and just laid around, I'm so bad out of shape right now it's not even funny.
To the question, what can I do to increase lung capacity fast aside from the obvious being cardio? I really need to get back to where i was cause its eating me alive mentally. I'm not using any gear and night not be ever again, I'm still undecided on that but I figured I'd ask the best knowledge base for this on the internet.
Thank you in advance guys

TronTake your time and go SLOW..if doing sets on the bench causes you to take 10 minute rests to catch your breath I'd say I would start by getting on a treadmill where you can control the speed..WALK..walk on the treadmill..do this once a day until you are able to slowly increase and go longer..as far as lifting weights goes it won't hurt to take longer than usual rest periods..I personally wouldn't worry too much about muscle building right now..I'd focus on those lungs as a priority..try the treadmill thing..DO NOT push yourself..be smart ..be in tune with your body and conscious of how you feel..take your time..be safe..and gear is a HUGE no go at this point..
I've honestly been only doing 2 days a week with weights and they're pretty light not really by choice call me stubborn I guess but I keep trying to lift weight you know? The shortness of breath shit is annoying as fuck. So slow down and walk instead of trying to jog?
I thought going at it would be better to get faster results but that's not working. Thanks Tron
TronYou aren't dealing with only being out of shape or I'd say PUSH YOURSELF..you are also dealing with a collapsed lung..you want SAFE results over fast results..build your lungs back up..as you heal begin to push yourself... slowly...
Got it. Thanks bro!
All you can do is experiment with various exercises and routines and see which ones bring the best results and go from there.
See this is a normal response lol
The cardio I'm doing what I can handle anyways is like a job type pace. I get through it for about 20 minutes ish. Do you know anything about those expand a lung devices? Are they total bullshit or do they actually work
So you came here to shovel bullshit and hope we would cosign?
See a medical professional, NOT an internet doctor want to be.
ETA: the fact that you laid around for the better part of a year speaks volumes about you. Most here are dedicated to grabbing life by the horns and recovering at the upper limit.
You may be in for a rough ride.
AnonBro he said he might never even use gear again..there was no indication he's trying to take the easy way out..? He asked about exercises in specific, not gear, he said he's trying cardio..I'm confused..I mean there's a ton of BS people looking for a cycle co sign with 0 experience and a fat ass..
This is a review he posted today.
So much for the bullshit line about not using gear again.
AnonDaaamn kmc with the stream check!
I missed that..stopped at stats. Sometimes I dig a little deeper, but not today Satan.
I'll post the message with names aside from mine blocked out to prove it's from a year ago. What reason do I have to lie lmfao
AnonI've got no dog in this race, you don't need to prove anything to me. Obviously adding in gear isn't a great idea, but you're an adult and this post was asking specifically about exercise, not gear.
I don't know why you'd risk it, you know it'll jump bp a little amongst other things, you only get one body!
AnonBut this implies you've just decided to get back in it with a different source.. not the one from the promo
Give them a vote if you find it helpful.PermalinkHmmm not really but okay. I clearly said might. It is what it is yall wont believe nothing cause a dude with experience said not to. I also order for my whole group cause they think they're gonna get popped. I don't really care to be honest I just want excersize to increase lung capacity cause mine is fucked. I can send you the message I have for that order going to a friend as well lmfao
I can forward you the message from the source hounding me to post a review up for the promo I participated in September 2018
And
So were you on gear while recovering from your lung episode?
Honestly, your timeline is falling a part.
I'm honestly done explaining to you man lol I don't care what you believe I literally got 0 reasons to lie about when I was on gear and when I got sick while I'm asking about lifting advice. It's kind of fucking stupid. I've been on here since like 2014 I've been through this with you "experts"... if I was gunna lie to get some advice from you (that in your minds no one listens to anyways) I would know step by step what to say to you to manipulate you into giving me what I want. So please cosign off on some cardio or breathing techniques or don't, makes no difference to me fella. You wanna see screen shots of the messages between meand said source where I literally gave this exact same info with a 12.5 months in between our first convo and last let me know man lol.
Theres no "were" recovering from it, I still am I'm fucking suffering everyday of my life. Doing simple shit fucks me panting trying to catch my breath while my "medical professionals" are telling me I'm okay again just weak and out of shape. I'm at the end of my rope with this, why else would I be asking a bunch of hotheads like you on a steroids site LIFTING and WORKOUT advice to try and help increase my lung capacity? You think its about karma? Fuck the karma tell a mod to strip it all I don't care I never did you can see that going back 5 years of me literally saying FUCK YOUR KARMA. I thought maybe you guys would know a better way to build lung capcity other than just conventional cardio since you all think your geniuses.
So what, you let a source run your life.
No I just figured since he sent me 200 dollars worth of stuff on top on top of my order it would be common courtesy to post a review...
Which he hounded you for, a promo review is a brought and paid for review.
The only way the review system works on EROIDS is if it is filled with honest and current reviews not old and paid for reviews.
That review is probably gunna get flagged anyways since I said I was late in it if it's like that
I literally did not know to u couldn't post old reviews, I don't remember reading that in the rules. If I decide to do anything again I will remember that so imma just suck it up and apologize to you for that and everyone else here. Must be one of the many unwritten rules on this site
I told him literally the same thing in private message as to why I wasn't on here or did the review this morning when I got a message from him. Unfortunately i cant forward anything cause I was about to send it to you.
I guess that makes sense but either way this isn't a new a review I didnt lie. I got no reason to lie. I didnt come on here and ask for cycle advice I asked for workout advice. It's crazy to me that people are this weird about asking for excersize advice. Working out is literally the first stone and many others to building a better lung capacity. All I was asking for was how to rebuild my damaged lungs from the perspective of people who may have had similar issues... guess that's not allowed lol
From gear I used over a year agolol
So you're writing a review today for gear you received over a year ago. Sources come and go in less time than that, so posting a year old review is at the very least deceiving.
Feel lucky I don't ding your karma for it.
Dude ding it lol I don't care. How is a source constantly messaging me for a review since September my fault? I used the gear got sick didnt log in to here for a long time I'm sure that can be checked
Also how is it deceiving? I've posted many late reviews on here if it's what happened its what happened? I don't understand that at all I can clearly remember what went down when I used it because it was the last time I used it
He either didnt read it all or is just an ass for no reason
Okay pal moving on lol I asked you guys for workouts not to cosign anything. I'm doing what my doctors told me to do it's not working. Good thing I'm not like you wouldn't want to be a dick for no reason. And honestly I don't know what shit I shoveled you I said exactly what happened and how I reacted to it. You wake up in the middle of the night face and fingers blue with cyanosis and you're so dizzy you cant stand that tends to fuck with you a bit but then again maybe it doesn't for a sociopath like you. You guys always claim to be the best knowledge base for fitness... so which is it you are or you aren't? Nobody asked you to fix my lungs I asked for workouts to increase lung capacity
AnonKeep your rest periods short if your interested in working your lungs, is your doc ok with you exercising and everything?
If you've been cleared to workout again definitely start with LISS cardio, my opinion. Not a doctor.
Yeah he didn't didnt even clear me for the first 5 months or so because my pulmonary function tests were bad. After he cleared me he said don't go as intense as you normal would. So I went back the next day did ome set of benching and took 10 minutes to catch my breath so it's been pretty touch and go since then. I also have moderate asthma sp excersize was always kind of hard but its alotworse now. I'm just trying to get right to where everyday tasks even get back to normal
