With republicans holding the presidency, house and senate has anything been done to prevent things from getting back like they were under Biden/Obama?

This is exactly why I'm not a Republican. After Trump's first term the RINO do nothing establishment was completely transparent. They lost me as a member.

The funny thing is I want to be a Republican. Until they get off their asses and do something I'll stay Independent. We, as conservative voters, need to oust the Mitch McConnells, Paul Ryans, Mitt Romneys, etc... out of the Republican party.

The problem is Democrat politicians want to change this country into a Socialist/Communist shithole where they have all the power. The other problem is that the Republican establishment just want to hang on to the status quo and enrich themselves in the process. We need new representation.

Absolutely! There are laws on the books that hospitals have to report gunshot victims. Why not make laws that hospitals have to report illegals to ICE? Your "Free Healthcare" comes with a one way ticket home.

I know there are a bunch of isokinetic rowers out there. That would probably be your best bet.

Great job on the weight loss. When people get disc fusions it puts the joints above and below that fusion at a greater risk. Your spine still wants to move so the ROM lost with that fusion will be put into the joints above and below. A lot of people with joint fusions end up with these types of herniations, sorry that it happened to you.

I may get blasted for this, but I would stay away from the leg press if I was you. Since your seated with a heavy load, your spine can be compromised when lowering the weight by forcing a posterior pelvic tilt. Much safer to squat. Belt squats and other variations should be your friend.

Box squats are ok too, but you need to keep proper spinal alignment and not "roll" your hips when you sit on the box. If you can't keep proper spinal alignment then do not do box squats.

Hope this helps

How much do you know about strength and conditioning? It doesn't seem like a lot. And by no means am I trying to be rude or disrespectful. You put down a very basic and terribly programmed lifting routine. Get your son a strength and conditioning coach. There is bound to be some kind of S&C gym around where you live. Do not go to some box gym and get a "personal trainer" if this is something you're serious about. Your son is coming to an age when his physical development ceiling will be made. Not reached mind you, but made. Get him some good coaching. With that comes programming and guidance/education on how to perform those lifts.

Hope this helps.

Stretch your hip flexors. Everything you are saying relates to iliopsoas or rec fem tightness. Stretch those muscles.

Your adductors may be an issue, but the majority of the time it's your hip flexors. I think it's that because what you said about lunges. Sure, adductors have some effect with lunges, but it's tertiary.

Are your muscles weak? Yes, lol. But everyone's muscles are weak. Unless your Brian Shaw or Eddie Hall. But think of it as your hip flexors are overworked. You've put a load on them that they are not conditioned for.

Solution: Start by adding dynamic and static stretching to those muscles. Immediately after, incorporate exercises that work within that new range of motion. Rinse and repeat.

I hope this helps.

My 9070xt is a beast, and it's relatively inexpensive. You'll save a few hundred dollars from your $1k budget.

I believe all of those things can help. Problem for us Americans is that we don't know, or practice, relieving stress. It accumulates and causes problems. To be honest, I'd be out of business if everyone just took 30 minutes out of there day to meditate and work on breathing exercises, lo.
