Proof that the Nutmisc Lifts! (kinda)

[Domicron]

Only when it gets heavy. My wrists aren't flexible either. As a matter of fact my fingers curl inward at rest it's so intense.

my orthopedic friend had back pain throughout his 20's. he found out that the source of it was due to his hamstrings being so tight or something. you might talk to an orthopedist and see if there's something you can do or take to relax the muscles in the arm enough for them to come back to balance and then rehab them or something...

if it sounds confusing, it may surprise you to know i'm not a doctor. but that's my 'understanding' of it...

Anyone else have an extreme forearm imbalance? My flexors are like 1000x stronger than my extensors. I have pretty much the chittiest grip strength of all time.

I had the same issue where this caused problems with lifts involved and even led to tendinitis

I used the wrist roller and it helped a lot to balance out the extensors/flexors

You guys are on spread. Thanks.

Gonna do some daily stretching and start incorporating some reverse curls and reverse forearm curls. I need a deep tissue massage lol.

I brought this up with WML a couple days ago, but my left side has always been underdeveloped like his has. Or at least what I recall from when I was able to lift. My left grip strength was also terrible. I went as far as doing farmer walks religiously with heavier weight on my left side as opposed to my right.
Nueromuscular imbalance?

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but you said my left side was more developed than my right?

Tight glutes/hamstrings typically lead to lower back pain, from what I remember reading. I'm not sure if there are things contributing to the imbalance in forearm development though. Perhaps preference of a dominant side?

Haven't posted here in a while but nice to see familiar faces (well avi's I guess)... although Domi what happened to the headband?

for whatever reason one day my avi changed to this. i had uploaded this ages ago when i thought i'd rotate through some avis, but then decided i loved the scarf too much.

anyhow a lot of people said they liked it more, so i'm leaving it up for awhile.

i liked my headband because it was a little more subtle way of letting people know not to take me seriously...this one is more on the nose...

Just seeing this. Yeah, I did. I should have clarified in my post that my problem was the opposite. My right side is more dominant. At some point during my lifting the last time around I switched to dumbbells and used 5 lb more on the left hand than the right to make up for it. Wasn't sure how to do it with legs until I linked you that article in your log.


Yes, that is correct. Weak legs and back in general will add to back pain in later in life. Hence the best method of retaining bone density and muscular structure is exercise and resistance training as you get older. If I wasn't able to go jogging a few times a week, I'd be in a lot of pain and feel restless at night. I have minor back pain now because my back is so weak. If someone is used to moving around a lot and then takes a huge layover, they'll begin to feel it in their joints and they'll have trouble sleeping. Or in my case, all the above and being irritable.


So weird seeing you post out of your log. lol

I very rarely post outside my log anymore, lol.
If I lay around a lot my joints tend to get stiff and achy, mostly in my lower back. In the mornings it takes me a while to loosen up if I get over 6 hours.

I think it'll even out eventually for me. Strength is pretty even and the variance could also be due to lighting.
