Yeah taow, you really shouldn't push it when you have ANY injury. L2R is totally right, especially about your ribs. Take it easy man <3


I'm going to focus on my legs tonight at the gym. I don't know the names of all the leg weights exercises I do but there's about 4 different ones. Then I'ma go on the elliptical machine/cross-trainer for a while.
 
you're becoming monstrous, darl! after doing leg reistance machines, i can barely walk!
 
It's the weather frankly. The ribs , I can take that pain. But I'm at a miserable place where painkillers are simply not an option for the knees though they have been shoved down my wind pipe . And surgery , even just scoping them both for temporary would kill what I'm working for . It's a frustrating place, alcohol is truthfully the only thing that numbs the pain, and I don't lift to well cocked lol.

if you are an athlete for long enough this does not become an option. Chronic injuries you would never be working out if you waited for them to heal :\

For athletes yeah, I wholeheartedly agree, for chronic injuries and even things like muscle injuries etc. As an example, I tore my quad muscle back in December 2009 and my physio only allowed me to rest it for like 2-3 weeks, then I was back in training so that the muscle fibres would heal together as strong as it was before the injury.

But for broken bones?? That's something else entirely. Surely sitting out of training for a few weeks to allow broken ribs to heal properly is better than continuing training and having the ribs heal weaker than before, making them more susceptible to breakages for the rest of your life?
 
I'd rather chance it n3o , with the use of HGH other peptides and the genetic changing that is capable of (check out a blue bell bull sometime) I simply won't sacrifice things now. My ortho is a fucking insurance quack , pills galore if i accepted , I've so far not. Why treat something proper with a brain when you can mask the pain and insurance doesn't pay for PT. I just took one of the best insurance in the states to the fucking ringer over this issue and I got 20 sessions , for my knees. Ironically, one knee is one session, so in reality i have 10 sessions. Sorry I'm hijacking a perfectly good thread.

*edit* I've had my ribs broken at 8 separate occasions anyway tbh so at this point ? i dunno man.

Walked up hill for 2 miles with a 28lb baby on my back

Walked another 2 miles up hill with a 20lb baby on my chest.

Various arm/shoulder exercises given to me by my PT from a car accident :\
 
Mehm - what do you mean by that knees wise

you want your leg to be straight with an imperceptible bend, not locked out. a locked out leg or arm will look and feel "bowed out" against the natural bend of the joint

could you please clarify exactly what isn't clear? also, I would implore you to focus on healing instead of strength gain right now. just my personal philosophy


Today I did a 20 minute run straight up a sandy hill. got a good sweat going but am craving more exercise tbh
 
-about 200 pushups interspersed with running in place
-3 deep, slow squats..probably take about 45 seconds per squat, trying to get to 2 minutes each eventually
-20 slow chair dips

I'm now pouring sweat, so i think ididitrite
 
Nothing spectacular...1700 feet above sea level.
A local hike (10 min away from my house)

Hmmm perhaps I am becoming jaded with my surroundings. NOT LIKELY. I am so happy I moved here. The views are awesome.
I meant the difficulty of the incline was less than spectacular ;)
 
ran on elliptical for 30 minutes. sprinted a mile. chest presses and pull ups. cross country skiing. great that i finally found a gym with a track because normally i get way out of shape in the winter
