Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Hope u tear the gym up Monday bro glad ur feeling better

man i have been going stir crazy like a mad man. it sucks being down and not able to train at all for a whole week. i was tempted to go hit some arms on friday or saturday but i figured i would be better off in the long run to finish taking the week off and just rest everything. i just spent the week reading and learning some new stuff and chilling out. i didnt log my food at all this week because i honestly havent been eating a whole lot. i have focused on staying hydrated keeping my feet up and relaxing. i did make sure i kept in my intra workout shake for the week so my stomach adjusts to the addition. i only did a quarter of the macros for it though so i didnt get a ton of excess calories in that i wouldnt be using. i am actually pleasantly surprised that the maltodextrin and the casine hydro isnt jacking up my stomach at all. as goofy and sensitive as my guts are this is a hell of a huge plus for me

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

well today is 6 days off in a row. i feel about 90% good to go and i will be back in there for a leg session tomorrow no questions about it. i can squeeze my shoulder blades together fully and without any pain as of right now. now when i do a rear double bicep pose i do get a little twinge when i pull my hands back so it isnt fully healed just yet. i will not be doing any squatting for sure at least for this week just as a precaution and to give it a little more time to heal up. i can also sneeze and cough now with very little pain at all. truth be told i think it is in the area where the traps connect to the spine at the bottom. that vert and a couple more down. that is the area that i jacked up. this is def a very weird area to injure doing squats and i am puzzled by it. i could have lost my form just a little and let my back losen up or something like that and it happened. idk but it is strange how it happened.

Yep I had to take a week off a few mths ago my back was so bad I even missed work sometimes u gotta suck it up stay home and heal so u can get back in the game at 110%

i absolutely hate freaking down time man. it makes me go stir crazy lol. this was a forced break that i had no way to work around at all. a good week off is a good thing i suppose but i am def not a fan of it at all.
i guess i am not a big practice what i preach in the taking time off to recover category haha. my body has to force me to do so from time to time

Well that's a good thing you're feeling a bit better guns, sounds like a terrible time for a few days.

Now I will have to invest in some of your good stuff and stop whining about my shoulder. Hate to hear about this but it's great to hear how to fix it. I don't think any of us really talk about this much so we all just suffer through. I put some DMSO on a couple nights ago and nearly burned my skin off my shoulder. That makes suffering look good in comparison.

we need to keep the dialog open on helping fix those nagging injuries as well as the bad ones. i am stubborn when it comes to getting hurt and taking time off to heal. this one i have no choice on because it is a bad one that i cant work around. i hate taking time off from training but you have to from time to time. with that said i am feeling like i should be good tomorrow or saturday at the latest. i am going to roll the area tonight and then start hitting it 2x a day starting tomorrow. so hopefully that will speed up the process even more so. their is another cream i am going to order after i run out of this one that is supposed to be good for healing and prevention as well. it is supposed to be stronger than the blue horse stuff so we will see haha

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

i have some of that as well man and some icy hot and pretty much every other heating/cooling gel you can imagine. comes with the territory of a combo of that blast and getting old lol. i can almost say i would have rather aggervated my lower back than what i tweaked. at least with the lower back you can still work around it for the most part. until today i couldnt even pinch my shoulder blades together or arch my back. that's the crappy part. today i can do both but it is still a little tender. oh and i dont feel like i am about to piss down my leg when i cough or sneeze any more so that is even more added bene of the recovery

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

i am alternating between that blue horse linament and the salon paas 8 hour pain gel right now. i put them both on my knees elbows biceps and lower back everyday before i train. just to keep everything healthy and warm.
you want to talk about some burn, jump in the hot shower and open the pores up really good, then slap on some of that new salon paa gel. oh sweet baby jesus that stuff absorbs in crazy fast and lights you on fire.
