Luigi Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 good stuff, can you please post up the weights you are using ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steak Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 well that wont make for good reading...back in the gym for a month so not really extending myself until some strength comes back eg seated military press was around 30-40kg, lat raises only, 6-10kg, close grip bench 40-45kg and curls all around 20kg or so. I so wont to get back the strength but don't want to blow a fufu valve, snap a conrod or spina disc so its slowly slowly catchy monkey for me for a while. Is it cool to take anti inflam meds for sore legs/other muscles? Like voltaren, diclofenac or is it a big no no?Does the diet look about right? Do you eat the protein in the amount that you weigh or in the ammount that you want to weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1kg Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Diet is pretty much there, loads of protein which is great to see If I were you I would have a good serving of carbs in the morning (that's assuming the shake your having doesn't have loads of carbs in it), and I would def have some fast acting carbs staright after your workout with that shake and L-Glutamine... something like that crushed pineapple would be perfect!!Otherwise good job and go hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1kg Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 And no, I wouldn't take the anti inflams... something about the inflamation has a positive effect on growth... can't remember the exact explanation but I'm sure someone on here can elaborate...and besides, enjoy the pain, that pain is the feeling of a succesful workout :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamfatboy Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I think it's a balance between managing the pain and the growth, but personally, anti-inflams are fine - I treated a recent sprained ankle with them and I'm sure it made a difference over other analgesics. You might get some wierd looks asking for the product I used, tho..based on previous experience, I used an American product called Aleve which has an active ingredient of naproxen sodium. Turns out, according to Medsafe, that this ingredient is commonly recommended for period pain (not my problem :shock:) - it's in Synflex. Also, Voltaren gel applied to the site works for me.
