I think next time i do CG's im going back to frees, its not hard to get out of 80-90kgs if you get pinned anyway.

Better you than me mate. I don't fancy getting pinned under that much weight if I can avoid it.

Long ago, before people who worked at gyms were called Personal Trainers, they were happy to help spot a bloke on the heavy sets. These days you've got to give them your VISA card before they get the BB of your throat. :pfft:

Gym staff? Wow - you're either at a great gym or you're somehow still training in the 1980s :grin:

The receptionists at my gym are very friendly but I don't think giving people a spot is part of their job description. :pfft:

at my gym when you walk in theres the reception staff. who are all friendly etc. they never come into the gym. then when you go into the gym the pts walk around with their clients. and theres a desk in one corner of the gym where this group of "helpdesk staff" sit. they basically will give you help, show you how to do ex, provide spots etc.. basically whatever help you need

Damn jono, thats some bad luck! Im kinda with the others, especially since your doing squats and hacks etc, loading a bar on your traps with a sore neck probabley isnt the best idea, but on the other hand if it were me i would probabley just do the workout anyway.

Does the chiro have any ideas about why this happened to you? Standing around the bathroom isn't exactly a strenuous activity. :(

lol yeah aparently lack of stretching and just lifting and i must of wrecked it somehow .. remmerb a few monts back i actuyalkly had it but far less seriosuly. and apartly it slipped out of place yesterday.. so i acutally caused it to happen ages ago .. just the effect is now

Well at least you went straight to the chiro, obviously would have been worse had you decided to endure the pain.

So whats the recovery time looking like, will you still be back in the gym next week?

yeah basically i had no choice this thing pretty much made me a handicap.

yeah im hoping next week ill be back into things. ill find out 2moro. see how good it is then.
