Thanks. Once the rib comes out of place once it loosens up the connective tissue holding the rib in place so it is more likely to do it again. The ribs sit on your spine on a golf tee surface so if they aren't snug they can slide right off. The swelling just kicked in. I am posted up on the couch until I go to bed.

This is just a word of advise to anyone who wants to do a Powerlifting meet.
1.get a proper fitting singlet that goes partway down your leg.
2.Wear underwear under your singlet.
This poor kid who was benching yesterday in front of hundreds of people and a live video stream had
his sack plop out everytime he set up for his lift.I don't think anybody wanted to tell him so as not to
mess with head between lifts. That was truly a "Raw" bench. Funny as hell!
I was also chatting with this guy who was huge and he said to me "At 315lbs I still feel athletic.....at 330 I start to feel too tight"
This guy was a Monster who squatted close to 900 and benched over 600 both raw.I thought that was the quote of the day.
There were some really big boys at this meet throwing up some big numbers.Good stuff!Last edited by 4MEandThem; 11-04-2012 at 01:39 PM.

You need a good rack, a bench, and a 300-lb Olympic weight set. Now, what was your question?

Well I survived the 24 hours of torture while the rib was still out of place. Had a nice visit to my chiropractor at noon today and the rib is back in it's home. I am going to take at least a full week off lifting and see how I feel next week. Leg presses can create the kinda pressure to pop a rib out. This is the 5th time it has happened.
1st- Front Squatting on a smith machine
2nd- Deadlifting heavy
3rd- Squatting heavy
4th- Breathing wrong (must have loosened it up earlier in the day lifting)
5th- low cable crossovers
Glad to hear you have your power back. Situations like this make me feel like a dick for complaining about a hurt back and put things in perspective. Hope you ca get your life back to normal as soon as possible.Nothing is impossible.

Thanks. It's crazy how we typically take gas for granted, it's also scary. 3 1/2hr gas lines and now odd/even plate days. Who would ever have thought. What happens when the country has no gas?
Now we have a Nor'easter coming on Wed... We will rebuild and stay strog.▪██─────██▪ Ivanko Barbell Crew #3 ▪██─────██▪

Atty......I saw this today on ******** and I immediately thought of you.
The thought of Liam Neeson coming to my home and shooting me while I'm curling in my squat rack almost makes me want to change my stance on the issue.

Just got back from voting. It took a little over half an hour total, most of which was waiting in line.
Weird thing is there was almost no line for voters whose last name started with M-Z. The M-Z poll workers were sitting idle nearly the entire time I was there. But the overall number of voters wasn't that far apart between the two stations. (One of the women working that station had plenty of time to chat with me about it.) It seems that a lot of voters whose last names started with A-L showed up all at the same time.▪█─────█▪ Equipment Crew #35

I'm glad that my wife talked me into going early, just to get it over with. The funny thing I heard today was that 34 million people had voted early and 2.7 million of them were from North Carolina. 41% percent of our registered voters had done it before today, so the polls probably aren't that bad near me .

I can hear the response from the tin foil hat crowd:
The reason A-L showed up at same time, is that there was a snafu on the random time generator, and the mind control device sent them all out at once. Something about the Montauk Project and misfiring of HAARP/tesla beams.[]---[] Equipment Crew #40 []---[]

I've taken quite an interest in this election. I was chatting to some Americans about it last night and they described it like its a bad choice whichever way they vote. Seems no matter where you are in the world, people rarely have a good word to say about politicians. Good luck with the votes guys, lets hope stuff improves for all of us next year.

NM is the only Equipment Crew member professional enough to pull that one off!
Yeah, but he made up for it by getting ripped and adding lean muscle mass! Plus, not washing the unitard made him even stronger.
It's a matter of dedication and commitment.
Just spoke with Liam. He and Chuck Norris are headed to Ohio after the election. Something a fireman curling in the rack. . .You need a good rack, a bench, and a 300-lb Olympic weight set. Now, what was your question?
