What you're doing currently looks fine. I'd also suggest foam rolling from your calves to your back.
On a personal note, I'm not really a fan of going off exercise for any longer than absolutely...
Try the following:
1. Heat rub before working out
2. Warmup exercises with medium-light weights for about 20-30 reps
Hammer curls
Reverse curls
Wrist extensions
3. Ice after
Friday (day 4):

Tons of warming up

Strained my pec last week. Going to just chronicle my recovery and maybe see what happens beyond that.
Felt a dull pain in my pec/shoulder while doing parallel bar dips. No bruising or swelling.
...
Thanks man, I'll get you on recharge.
Must've just been a freak thing. I was a bit sore from my previous workout, so I can only imagine that must've been it. I have been trying to increase my...
Might as well chronicle my recovery while I'm at it.
Day 2
Heat rub
Rubber ball massage on the affected area
Bench:
30x20
40x20 no issue
No real advice other than maybe seeing a physio about a possible neck strain. Since the nerves affecting almost all of the areas you mentioned go through there.
How's your neck mobility after this...
I often get tightness in my mid back. When I pop it my back feels better as well. I sometimes even get some cracks out when I foam roll my back.
For me, it's just something I've learned to deal...
Can you remember what happened when the issue started occurring?
A specialist (what kind of specialist did you see?) should be better equipped to manage your issue. Would you consider seeing...
Yesterday, doing parallel bar dips I suddenly felt a dull pain in my left pec.
Afterwards, I couldn't even bench 2kg dumbbells without pain.
Today, no bruising or noticed any swelling.
After...
So I put some spare weights under the bench legs for my last workout, bringing the base up to standard height.
Result: Actually hit a f**king PR that night.
Thanks for the advice.
Thanks for the advice.
I doubt that appealing to gym management to put some mats under the bench would get me anywhere, so I might as well stuff some plates under the legs. For anyone who's...
All the benches in my pleb$hit gym have been replaced with new ones which are about 1-2 inches below comp bench height. It doesn't seem like much, but it's completely ruined my whole foundation, so...
Really good reply, thanks.
Yes natty :( but a bit more muscle/fat than my avi (which was taken at about 180lbs). Hopefully there's more growth I can get on this frame.
Good answer, thanks. That's one thing I'm quite...
Probably a dumb question, but hear me out..
If you slow bulk (on a moderate volume routine + 1g protein/lb/day) and gain no significant strength or muscle, is the issue most likely insufficient...
Chemical ice pack :( I just had a t-shirt on, which I guess wasn't enough.
Time of application was about 15-20 mins, twice a day for 2 days.
Recovery: 3 days since ice first applied and the...
Thanks for the quick reply.
I just noticed there's some pink discolouration of the area that I iced, and it feels sore to the touch (like a bruise). Not sure if that's a symptom of excessive ice,...
