Re: November [censored] thread
I strained a muscle in my lower back (high reps of heavy deadlifts ftw) in early/mid september, at least that's what my doctor called it. I saw him like 3 weeks ago, he gave me a pain medication that did nothing and told me not to exercise. After one week of that and no change I just started exercising again and was comfortable with the possible outcomes:
this small sensation of pain during certain bending activities/times of day it will eventually go away So far this week it's been getting better each day. Point of the story: back injuries are very hard to diagnose/treat. |

BLECH I just threw out my whole tub of MetRx chocolate flavored, that stuff is so foul I can't drink it. It was super cheap at Trader Joe's and I thought I'd try it, what a waste. [/ QUOTE ] yea i made the mistake of buying the same stuff..chocolate flavor and its horrific tasting even mixing it juice. The Aspartime also is way too intense for me and gives me a 2-3 hour buzz then a nasty headache. If I'm going to supplement with some protein powder I need a supplement without Aspartime(Phenylalanne). |

I've had to throw away a few products that had aspartame or I get the headachy thing too, sometimes also get spacey. |

Re: November [censored] thread
[ QUOTE ]
so about 4 days ago i pulled a muscle (i think) in my lower back doing deadlifts. i feel better now, definitely not all the way better though (ie, not up to squats or deadlifts). must i wait until i'm absolutely 100% to start again, or should i go a little lighter? what's standard protocol for coming back off a back injury? [/ QUOTE ] I pulled my lower back about 3 weeks ago. My physical therapist says lifting weights should help recovery, you just have to be really careful not to overdo it. Start out with 50% of your normal weight and wait and see how you'll feel in the morning. Take the opportunity to really focus on perfect form cause that will help in preventing future injuries and aggrivating the current one. Don't trust how you're feeling while working out cause your muscles will be warm and you've got adrenaline pumping that will mask the pain. |

Re: November [censored] thread
wow.. worst day working out for me in a long time.
i was looking to do a 4 mile run at my intended turkey trot 10k pace of 7:30/mile. Prior to running, in order to keep my strength up, I did 2 sets of 7 pullups just because, then i did 3x10 dumbbell thrusters, 3x10 bench press, 3x12 weighted situps on incline bench. It was my first time doing thrusters and i was on my toes and my form was horrible...it was really bad. I think i need to work on my flexibility so I can do the squat with my heels completely on the ground. Bench press was weak, but I got through it. Situps were okay. Then the run was pathetic, which is the most important part because i am actually going for performance. I struggled to get to 2 miles. Hopefully this was just a result of 2 days off from working out and 4 days off from running + the thrusters. |
