Age have not granted me the ability to flex
I thought my early 20s would be the prime time of my life- when Id look the best and be the best. It truly wasnt. Chronic illness took a while to adjust to, but I found a way to manage it and now I am better than ever and making up for lost time.
Edit: since Im getting so many questions about it: the bruises on my thighs are from powercleans, the bruises on my biceps are from tire flips. I do powerlifting mainly and crossfit on the side. Generally love strength sports!
The chronic illness I mentioned is rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.

I would NEVER guess you were in your 30s, you look like early 20s. Congrats!
SpikeSpiegeil
I, too, agree with you.

Wowza! That's amazing work!!! What motivated you on days when you didn't feel like working out?
skamnorth
No need for motivation, just make a routine out of it. I dont wanna go? Put on shoes, go anyway.
Orgazzmatron3000
Good for you, same could go for me. Except for the illness. For me it was just, you know, chronic drinking and over eating... keep it up!

Absolutely beautiful, you care about your body, and that is awesome

Adorable is better than sexy to me
straikychan
I agree. It's easier for adorable girls to be sexy than for sexy girls to be adorable.

ReginaldTightwad
Selv takk. Vet ikke hva det er, men smilet nede til høyre der er til å bli glad av. Smittsomt. Takk for at du deler. Du burde poste oftere.
kamosey
Now kick that midgets butt who's been punching your thighs.
Willum
Maybe from dead lifts/deadlifting?
DirkNurple
Deadlifts can ruin the shins from bar scrapes, i have some nice racing stripes. Those have to be from cleans.
DirkNurple
I’m guessing she takes a very wide grip on the bar.
MobiusTurtle
More likely power cleans and power snatches. If you're getting bruises like that on your deadlifts you're doing it wrong.
whatsyour2ndbeststory
Looks like you lost 10 years!
ohdeepthought
I feel you I was fit as a kid, lost it at uni when my chronic condition worsened and I’m adjusting still. It gets easier every year though.1
ohdeepthought
Well done you.
ninerninny
Honestly I’ve come to learn that your 20s are all about preparing yourself to live your best in your 30s. Good job!
deemcgrath6
You look fantastic! Plus, you know yourself better in your 30s.
donottouchdonut
So at this rate you should disappear into another dimension by your 50's.
CaveCanem
Ankylosing spondylitis? My mom has that! You bear it better than her though, it's given her a very hunched posture, so congrats on yours!
skamnorth
My posture is still a big problem, I definitely struggle with it, but I got into strength sports in order to try halt that typical AS Back!
CaveCanem
Nice, great work then. How's your mobility? Can you still rotate your spine well? The doctors she had growing up all gave her bad advice.
skamnorth
Its pretty decent. It gets bad sometimes, especially ribcage area. Sometimes trouble breathing. Yeah women especially with AS have been ->
skamnorth
<- historically not taken very seriously. Its upsetting. And so many have gotten bad advice because the dumb old view of«women are fragile»
CaveCanem
Yeah it's really unfortunate. It's definitely put a clamp on her quality of life. Glad you've kept a better handle on yours, you look great!

As a very overweight 29 year old guy, this gives me hope.
Dolliederanged
Cutting soda/juice helped me lose 30 lbs alone, try seltzer. Having a more active life helps lift the fog of depression as well. God bless♡
skamnorth
Never to late. You wont regret doing it.
QuiteADapperAsshole
20's look like your mid-30s. 30's look like your late teens. Well done; clearly you are a wizard.

Someones doing some bar work :)
sunflowersticklemorethanfeathers
Can I ask what chronic illnesses? I've recently been diagnosed with a couple and ended up bed bound guess I'm looking for inspiration thanks
skamnorth
Rheumatoid arthritis (or JIA to be more specific) and Ankylosing Spondylitis. Bedbound sucks. Been there, wheelchair for a long time too
bumblebeezzz
As someone who’s had a chronic illness since 20 (now almost 29 and still suffering) you give me hope :)
skamnorth
Things looked really bleak for me too. I hope you find something that works for you! baby steps. I started with 1kg dumbbells and walking.
ArdentSlacker
Trying to get back to walking. Some drug interactions have been causing severe cramps. Rebuilding always sucks.
sunflowersticklemorethanfeathers
Damn that sucks, I've only got fibromyalgia, and dissociative disorder (random fainting) but last one I had 1 day out of bed so my weight 1
sunflowersticklemorethanfeathers
As ballooned and the worst part is if had lost over 30 kilos all be it through anorexia but now I can't control anything it sucks
skamnorth
Im sorry, that sounds really rough :/
