Tom_Martin said: hope so! should note my close grip is relative to my normal grip which is really wide so....close isn't that close. its in about 5-6" on each side so its a good bit closer than normal but probably no wider than for example riain or kevs normal grip. but they have short arms and i have long arms so i guess its all relative. What's your wing span fingertip to fingertip? Im gonna guess 76". | |||

FAT_SAM said:Thanks guys  haha true, double figures is cardio.I love watching the freaks of strongman press huge weights, I know I'll never be up there with them all round but I'd like to think I can keep up on pressing stuff at least. The downside to this last night was that I was sick afterwards out the back of the gym. The gym banned me from training there as a result, looks like I'm going to have to start travelling again just to train. So many obstacles in the way... f**k! That sucks! Home gym? Epic pressing. | |||

Oxman said: Really worth it mate, my pain went instantly and i trained overhead last night which usually causes much pain and i felt nothing during or after training, i was able to push harder than normal due to no pain. I also normally wake up to pain the day after, this morning i had a slight dull ache but nothing like normal and it went quickly, i shall be doing it again today. You'l be pressing again today or wrapping your arm again? | |||

Post Edited: 11.02.2012 @ 14:20 PM by rich_86 Went back to the gym today for the first time in over 4 months. Got my back re-xryaed the other day and will get the results soon. Back feels ok, the chiropractor sessions have felt really good. Although being sat on my ass for 4 months has definitely done me no good. Not sure if my back feels 100% yet. Will see what these xrays look like and may see an osteopath which someone has recomended. meh. Strength doesnt feel too bad, but my cardio has completely left me. My heart was pumping big time after 4 light sets. Hyper Ext bw x 10 bw x 10 bw x 10 bw x 10 wide grip pull ups x 5 x 5 DB curls palms in 10kg x 12 10kg x 12 10kg x 12 Tri Ext over head 10kg x 12 10kg x 12 15kg x 12 15kg x 12 Dips x 5 blinding pain in my sternum.. wtf. not really worried, just curious what it is. big mac x 1 | |||

| Standard response: -Take Cissus. -Wear elbow sleeves. -Wide as possible grip on the bar when squatting. -Thumbs resting on top of the bar when squatting, not under. -High rep curls and tri extensions. Orientate your palms with curls so they're facing forwards, outwards and inwards. I used to do 3 sets of 16 with each. -Ice afterwards. -Deep heat extra strength or Tiger Balm before and during. -Foam Roll. -Static stretching after workout. Although I would definately take the advice about front squats. I found the only way to really manage it was to stop doing the exercise which causes the inflammation. Front squats are a god send really. In the long run you would be better off sacking the last 2 weeks of your program off and subbing in front squats for a month or so. Then getting back into low bar back squats. | |||

| If he still does not refer you, ask him bluntly you would like to be referred. If he STILL says no, stand up, maintain eye contact, remove the 12" black dildo you've been hiding in your trackies, cock the people's eyebrow and slap it down into your other hand. Voila referred. | |||

Tom_Martin said:My gp wouldnt refer me for a scan because it's only a problem if I want to do stupid things and theyre too expensove privately. You are of course absolutely correct though... Tom_Martin said:Hmmm I guess it's time to go back to the GP and tell him it's affecting my job... Apparently you need to pursue your GP for a referral of this type. They're not keen to refer as it's not financially beneficial for them or something. ar****les. Go back 3 times in succession, exaggerate and mention its affecting work etc. he should refer you. | |||

Tom_Martin said:Right, I need a proper recovery plan now, cos this isn't working! Numerous people have encouraged I carry on training to the point of it being painful and then stopping. This isn't working either because it just doesn't work or I can't be trusted to do it properly. There's something wrong, I've had numerous different explanations as to what it is, I don't know what to believe and I'm getting nowhere. I THOUGHT I'd successfully rehabbed this when I started squatting 200+ again with no pain, then out of nowhere it came back, and I don't have a clue why. I took my time, did all the f**king about with 20kg, 25kg, 30kg, 35kg etc, I couldn't have been more patient on my build up short of just taking a s**t load of time off. So maybe that's what I need to do, but I'm worried it will jsut happen again as soon as I start to come into any kind of strength. So....any suggestions? I'm ready to write the next year off. Fck man, that sucks. I know exactly how you feel, although its different on your level, invites to arnold etc. Im not going to suggest anything as im as clueless about my injuries. Have taken 3 months off lifting completely so far (whilst 'doing' chiropractor) and it really is s**t. Such an empty feeling knowing you'l re-injure yourself once you start going heavy again. | |||
