maccaz Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 will follow this one!how does the disc problem affect lifting? anything you have to avoid/cant do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfacials Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 at the early stages laying on the bench alone gave me a horrible pain, not to mention adding any weight (inc the bar) was extremely painful, I was advised to not do any back squats and avoid anything that engages the traps , I did try dead lifting at some point and only during the lockout it hurt...but you'd expect that anyway The broom excercise has been helping a lot (it's the stretch below) it'doesn't feel completely good, but can manage doing pretty much everything, sleeping is still a bit of a hassel though. currently the machines that I tend to avoid due to pain are the pec deck (I did do it yesterday but with a light weight) and the steated bench press machine. I am meant to be doing back today, but need to start on my final year's project and program a few computers and devices before it all piles up on me....so will give today a miss and go tomorrow and do back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinahlady Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 How did your symptoms improve? Just by taking some time off lifting? You getting physio - what are they prescribing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfacials Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 How did your symptoms improve? Just by taking some time off lifting? You getting physio - what are they prescribing? I can't pin point it to a single thing saying that "doing this" improved it, a combination of visitng the chiropractor for adjustments and acupuncture (especially when she puts current through the needles, though don't move when they're in you...twitch central lol) funny enough going back to the gym was what I noticed has helped me the most, put aside my ego and did weights that are extremly light and tried to stretch that area as much as possible, the shoulder area feels better now, the left trap sometimes gives me trouble but yeah I can manage now, I am looking into getting a good memory foam pillow but I'll need to get a pretty big one and they go for about 150+ (don't get the ones from 1-day, really small and skinny) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfacials Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yesterday was the dreaded back, had to take it careful Started off with warming up with lat pull downs50lbs x 20 repsthe shoulder/trap area started to hurt on the left side so I jumped the gun when I was it's healing well.... DeadliftsThis has always been a weakness for me, not due to my back giving out (sometimes it does) but my grip is shit, one of the reasons I stopped doing judo actually (not to mention others would cheat and show up with an extra thick judo gi)60 x 10100 x 6110 x 6120 x 5 x 2 Every lockout was painful on the shoulder, I think I might get my gp to send me somewhere, and from there to get referred for an MRI Lat pull downs115 x 12 x 2145 x 10 x 2 Bentover rows (barbell)40 kg x 1060 kg x 1070 kg x 880 kg x 6Same deal here as deadlifts, around the 7th or so rep my grip goes shit....maybe I should go back to wearing straps while doing it Seated rows100 x 12160 x 10 x 3 45 mins x trainer cardio was an ok workout with a bit of pain, got slight doms today which is going to make shoulders fun today, I also dropped my phone and cracked the screen, I did that around new years when I was overseas and insurance covered the 400 dollar cost....now it's going to have to be done again grrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyfacials Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 been a long break since I did anything, hearing the news that General Ratzilla is back motivated me enough to go to the gym did curls and presses and stuff for arms today, then I thought of a quote "general Ratzilla , and First Lt Crazyfacials Vs the Pans 2015, " The first day back from a long layoff is the worst usually, you're not happy with who you look at the mirror, lifting weights that were trival to you before too doesn't help, but it's all part of the process, I dedicated this workout to Azide, may he rest in peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
