Hi! Thanks for checking up on me. :) Shoulder is easing up a bit. Not sure whether it is the rest, ice, working at it with the lacrosse ball, the DMSO, or some combination of those. I'm a back...

Nevermind! Figured out that you meant self myofascial release.

Thanks! May I ask what SMR is?

A quick update... in my desperation waiting for my chiro appointment, I slathered some DMSO on the shoulder/neck quadrant last night. While it did not completely alleviate the pain, I woke up feeling...

Not true. I'm straight. I like men. Without crumbs and food hanging out on their faces. :D

I'm going to get killed posting on the misc, but as a female, I think beards are yuck. My opinion only, of course.

Thanks for the recommendation. Looks like I've got some reading to do!

Thanks, grouchy. My SIL was just here over the holidays and didn't know until two days ago that I was having shoulder pain. She whips out a lacrosse ball from her gym bag and hands it to me. I worked...

Got an appointment with the chiro set for Monday! Hope he can fix me.

Thanks, everyone. Lots of good feedback. Sorry to hear that some of you are still dealing with your issues, too. My problem has gotten worse after 5 days of hosting guests, making feasts, cleaning...

Well, only a few weeks into my new program, and I've managed to injure myself. I'm feeling pain by/under my left shoulder blade. It is sore to the touch, and also seems to be causing pain at the base...

Would love to know if it works for you. FWIW, I just have the easy-to-find-in-New Orleans Genisoy Chocolate protein powder. Have not tried with the powders sold on this site, but I would guess that...

I can report that, in the past week, I am feeling way better. Yay! I think it is a combination of hitting my macros just right and getting into a deeper sleep as of late. I guess I'm finally at the...

I own a 25lb bar. It's 5 ft long and works with Olympic style weights. There is no other way I could have started lifting without it. My wrists are thin and I have a history of carpal tunnel in both...

Thanks for the feedback. I am definitely doing the deadlifts in the wrong place. I was doing them last. (Not sure what i was thinking.) Also, hadn't thought to do RDLs instead of the SLDLs.

I...

Thanks for the tips. I have done the good mornings and glute bridges in the past and should work them in. Not familiar with zercher squats at all.

Re: the curls and extensions. They've never hurt...

I have a home gym with limited access to soecial equipment like the leg press. A year-ish ago, I got a couple knee problems fixed. Took me so long to get someone to fix me that I ended up with weak...

Just a quick question on the best order for leg exercises. These are the exercises I do in the order I do them:

Squats
Leg extensions
Leg curls
Stiff legged deadlift

Does seem like the...

Bump. Any ideas? Anyone using a wrap? I'm icing the area this evening and will do so again after tomorrow's workout.
