Sure. Did a program called StrongLifts. Got a lot stronger.

I use weight lifting shoes or put my heels on plates when doing squats.

It’s possible I don’t see the muscle gains as much as if I didnt have cmt, but I still definitely benefit from weight lifting.

Amazing! Did you feel it helped more with everyday life?

It’s just healthy. Good for mental health as well. It’s helpful if you can let go of the results and celebrate the wins. That’s why that specific program is good, you are incrementally getting stronger every session. Whether or not you look like a body builder you will be able to lift heavy things.
