I'm the same way. When I'm tired and need a break, I'll still go to the gym and lift lighter weights for a week or just do cardio. It's hard to stop once it's a part of the daily routine. I've only...
Be careful with the short head exercise routine. I'd imagine it will be under more stress when lifting now that the long head isn't attached. Strengthening it should help, but I'd go with lighter...
That sucks. Have you tried getting a second opinion? Or a third? I've heard from people who've gotten the long head successfully reattached. I'm not that knowledgeable about proximal biceps tendon...
It sounds like you tore your proximal biceps tendon, the one near the shoulder. I tore my distal biceps tendon, the one that connects to the bone in the upper forearm. Not getting it fixed is a bad...
I haven't worn a weight belt since high school. I've never felt the need for them either. If I wanted to enter a deadlift comp, I might start training with one to get an extra few pounds.
I was fully committed in my marriage even when things got tough. Too bad the wife didn't feel the same way. I still have morals and values, but I'm not committed to anyone these days. I've decided...
I know what you mean. My hand was half paralyzed (radial nerve palsy) after swelling from an arm surgery last December. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open my hand or extend my fingers. The...
Hey luibozeman. That sucks about the injury, but it's good to hear you got it fixed. It takes some time to make a full recovery. I didn't miss much work myself as a software engineer. I can type with...
So you won the weight class / overall comp first and then hit a new PR. All in front of everyone there. :) When I was deadlifting heavy (heavy for me), hitting every new PR between 405 and 500 felt...
I don't go out to bars much these days except to see the UFC. We'll get a table and tip generously since we stay there so long. When I'm out at concerts, I'll always tip the bartender at least a...
That sucks about the retear. I've read a couple stories where that happened without anything obvious happening (like the ripping sound, bruising, etc). I assume you'll need a second surgery to...
I was going to post something like this. Working out makes us feel better overall. It works that way for men and women. Feeling better doesn't necessarily mean your testosterone levels are higher.
I'll be at the show in Mountain View. I might see them first in Tampa or West Palm Beach depending on what my friends in Florida are doing. Should be a great show. I've seen Ozzy so many times over...
Size might help with avoiding random fights or small time robberies. Bigger guys don't look like an easy target. Size doesn't mean anything if there's a weapon involved.
