Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[-DMP-]

@The ADD @GinaThatAintNoDamnPuppy! @Luck @semtex @-DMP-

I have mid back pain...basically along my right lat....I skipped yesterday and may likely skip today

I hyper-extended a little too much doing arnold presses.

I was planning on doing chest, back and some lunges too

Do you know any mobility/stretching exercises that I can do?

I want to deadlift tomorrow

As @Luck said, if you think it's over use then use a foam roller or a tennis ball.

I tend to use a tennis ball cuz it can hit all the nooks and crannies

Roll it out on the foam roller. Lay at an angle with your arm up so your lay is on the roller then roll it out every which a way

Have your girl massage it and if it's that bad ice it. Otherwise you just have to let it play out.

If you do deads, you can tell right off the bat if it will aggravate it and make the strain worse or not while you do em so obviously stop if It bothers you. If not carry on

I deadass thought about a roller but I don't own one and my gym doesn't have one smfh. That would be perfect right now. I'm going to ask shorty to hook me up later.

Thanks.

Describe the pain

Like someone is taking a sharp stick and is pressing it against my lat when I do certain movements. It's not debilitating or something to keep me from lifting stuff, but its tender enough that one odd rep can have me dropping the weight in pain.

Yea them joints necessary for your back. I use it all the time.

Then like @-DMP- said, grab a tennis ball or some masssage balls ( they have more firmness and go deeper, nh ) from Amazon with your roller and you got a muscle ache / sprain starter kit

@Luck and @DMP hit most of the points. I would only add doing some light medicine ball slams before attempting a pull to see how tour lats react.

Six Star is

Bought their vanilla flavor years ago when I first started lifting. shyt tasted like battery acid.

Plus they have creatine in there under a proprietary blend, and I can't fukk with that.

Six star will always remind me of the hodgetwins story where they had to pull over to the side of the road and vomit after drinking that shyt

What protein powder y'all recommend?

If pulling is a no-good look at doing some banded good morning to hit lower back. Those are good in general for pulling power

My gym doesn't have bands to use. I was going to skip the gym but I'm going to see how I feel today. I'll take it easy but I need to lift lol.

I need to know how the coli brolic brehs deal with bony ass clowns at the gym monopolizing machines and dumbbells.
These 3 MFers had 4 pairs of dumbbells and 2 barbells...and only one was exercising at a given time.
I swear I'm so close from smacking the fukk out of these asian dudes

Help me. I was too angry at the gym today. I don't want to feel that way.




Maybe the only solution is to get these gains so I'm using weights they would never touch.

What kind of gym

What kind of gym

Just one of the chain gyms.
There are no real serious gyms in the NY area unless you go to Queens/Brooklyn or way, way upstate.

90% of the gyms in tri-state area are either Planet Fitness/NYSC, etc... or Crossfit

Honestly sometimes you just got step in a and apply some pressure.

There is a guy at my gym that does these wide ranging circuits that might have 3-4 stations. Last week he was supersetting deads with the rowing machine, basically had the DL platform of and on for no real reason. I nicely asked if I could add another bar and work in. He was cool with it.
