Gah! Did I mention that I'm a mess?
I had piriformis spasms that were strong enough to knock me on my ass, and now I'm in pain.

More massage, more stretching, more *gentle* exercise.


I just...

Thank you sweetie.

Just taking some time to focus on getting my head right. I'm actually feeling really good about myself right now. The depression has cleared but I still have some anger. (The change in hair color...

One additional factor in your recovery: find a massage therapist who does triggerpoint therapy.

I made an amazing sauce that works well on chicken breasts or on white fish like tilapia or roughy:

8-12 tomatillos

Grill the peppers and tomatillos 'till the peppers are...

I hadn't thought of using meetup for something like that... I'll consider it, thank you.

I've gained 15...

I massage some guys who shave their backs...

I will say that the ones who shave the back and the shoulders look just fine with the chest hairy - basically shaved or waxed to the top of the pecs,...

There's a reason everyone on here says that eating more protein and lifting heavy is the way to gain muscle - that's what 90% of bodybuilding diets and exercise programs have in common. You've...

That is an excellent point, and one often overlooked in online discussions about BBing. We're not seeing them in person, and photos and video online have their limitations...

Did a nice walk at the lake. Weather's cooling off a bit and it was a good day to exercise outdoors. About 3 miles.

Already explained... not an injury, a nerve issue that got worse over time.

What I've read (and the most believable suggestion) is that his arthritis was causing nerve interference with some portions of his lats and triceps - so they were not responding to training....
