Pec Tear = Comp prep over. Continue shred? skinnykant 8 2 yearsMick_MPH (1): @skinnykant There are many variables that will be at play to continue a cut and retain your muscle - You said you increased your calories. Go up to baseline and leave calories there for atleast 2 weeks. Due to being in a deficit for so long your metabolic rate would of slowed. Not only this you will re-sensitize hormonal balance. Studies show re-feeds don't have to much of effect on the metabolic system. You need food increased for a longer...

Bad pull? Or muscle tear Courtneyross52 2 2 yearsSalokin (877): It's hard to say exactly the cause of the injury. We're not in any position to diagnose. It would probably be best to get in to see your MD as soon as possible.

Injuries/frequency/optimal A7102009 3 2 yearsA7102009 (1): Thanks Yeags for the suggestion , Ill try and maybe take a week off. are you supposed to take a week off every couple of months? As Ive read studies on androgen receptors, and muscle cell stress, that apparently they could become desensitized and so you need to "shock the body" dont know if this is true. Is my split the best it can be though? as Ive tried to add as much frequency as possible, as long as there is 48 hours rest...
PROGRESS AND ANALYSIS A7102009 12 2 yearseknight (58109): Well, the Lauver, et al study only demonstrated a difference in EMG activity of the upper pecs with a sustained isometric contraction, but not with dynamic movement, if I'm reading that correctly, so I'm not sure that it has a pertinent carryover to using the incline bench to "target" that area. -3X

Back muscle strain emmyweird84 4 3 yearsemmyweird84 (1216): @West165 that's what I was thinking, just test the waters and go from there. @wannabemuscular it's definitely not a fun feeling, I agree on the squats and deads. Definitely on the deads bending that way is not comfortable at the moment. thanks you guys :)
How to fix rounded shoulders airawear 1 3 yearsairawear (4): Full blog post: How To Fix Rounded Shoulders Hey guys, Some of us have been hunching forward for a huge part of our lives because of the way we work. This is especially so if you have been working in front of the computer for a large part of your life (studying, working, playing games etc.) As a result of this hunching, you may have developed rounded shoulders, causing your posture to be hunched forward. In this post, I am going to...

I injured myself really badly doing squat in gym and it showed to be a severe L4-L5 disc herniation which left me with no other option than surgery. I had no low back pain before surgery but a really bad sciatica pain which disappeared right after surgery and now it's been like 7 months and i wanna go back to gym.

21 Shoulder Stretches That Provide Relief airawear 1 3 yearsairawear (4): Full Blog Post here: https://airawear.com/index.php/blog/shoulder-stretches/ Hey guys, I just published this article about shoulder stretches you can do anytime (very work-friendly!) but I wanted to share a short-and-sweet version here for you. You must be either a young kid or a truly healthy person to have never gotten stiff shoulders in your entire life. Unfortunately for most of us, we don’t fit the above bill. That...
Ab Exercises for Fused Spine xckks 3 3 yearskickinchicken (8717): Do not use and bending or twisting movements whatsoever. You should be focusing on your core and lower back strength. The anterior abdominal muscular development will follow at it's own pace for now. leg raises, planks, etc are best. Also, focus on pelvic flexibility to help reduce the need to bend your back and place added stress on it. Just google pelvic or hip mobility exercises. Joe Defranco has some good stuff on youtube.
Doing back workout with back issues... Spencer1104 2 3 yearseknight (58109): I would seek physical therapy through your GP or ortho doc, which will be covered by insurance, not chiro care. -3X
Strange shoulder problem, scapula position Marcane 2 3 yearsWest165 (574): Could be atrophy of the serratus anterior. It looks like your acromions are popping out too, no idea why that could be. But I wouldn't take advice about this kind of stuff on here. Go see a doctor.
Protruding clavicle/acromion Marcane 3 3 yearsMarcane (1): Na man, no injuries and there is absolutely no pain.

Muscle buliding shake? BlakeScar 4 3 yearsBeans (4204): ^That would put fat at about 56% of your diet. I would drop fat and up carbs. Also don't know your weight or activity level, so no idea if 3000cals is enough to build muscle. I cut on 3000. Read the faq thread, you'll find it useful.

Best way to progress after surgery csizemore21 15 3 yearseknight (58109): @clipboarder no such thing as a "minor" SLAP tear! If it makes you feel any better, the protocol you outlined is exactly what every physical therapy clinic I've ever known or worked at uses- it's pretty standard: 6 weeks in a sling to allow soft tissue healing, 4-6 weeks of passive and active-assistive ROM, but no active ROM, 3+ months before return to recreational weightlifting. Shoulder surgeries are a bitch, whether it's a rotator...

Its normal,77. He said testosterone shots wouldnt help. Would low does of HGH help with muscle gain? I dont want to look like the hulk,just get some muscle mass put on me. I know it would help the injuries of my back.Steroids scare me.
Right tricep everyday soreness. Help needed George1234 2 4 yearsDevley (1): Cold should always be after working out. Could be tendonitis. I know this thread is a little old. Any luck? I had elbow tendonitis and it really radiated up to my shoulder and even down to my wrist. Not the tricep area though. Look into BFST wrap. They stimulate the blood flow and great to use before a work out and also for injury recovery. http://kingbrand.com/BFST-Home.php?REF=34PV16.343
Recovery kezlar92 3 4 yearsJsn3004 (3265): There has to be something different in your life, whether it be your training, diet, stress, etc. If everything is the same i'd try taking a few days or a week off. It couldn't hurt and can also be beneficial.
hamstring problem ajkin 3 4 yearsJsn3004 (3265): I'd go to a doctor to get that checked out. Either way make sure that you are properly stretching and doing mobility work.

Changing nutrition and starting a routine Kind 10 4 yearsBeans (4204): @Kind all calculators will give a different value, what really matters is just picking one, trying it, and adjusting accordingly. They're all just guidelines, chances are most of them won't be spot on what you need. You CAN take into account lean body mass, but again, it doesn't necessarily mean it's more accurate. Plus, you're just adding an extra layer of guessing. Personally, I'd go with the lower end of your BMR calcs to start off since...

Road to recovery and first powerlifting meet Dbyrnes Jump to first page81Jump to last page 4 yearsDbyrnes (457): So I just signed up for another meet In February. I am not expecting to do much as far as a total goes. My back is still bothering me quite a bit. I just want to get my first meet out of way. The plans is to slowly going to build my squat back up, it's dropped about 100 pounds since this summer and my bench, which dropped about 50 pounds since this summer. I am not going to any deads till I am close to the meet just to figure what to open with.
Strain/torn Pec kozzletoff 8 4 yearskozzletoff (379): @SRorhrbac0808 okay I'll definitely try it out when I get home tomorrow. I'll take after you and be smart about it, thanks a ton and good luck with the rest of your recovery @_RudeCrew yeah I definitely don't wanna mess around with it anymore. Taking off sucks but at least I can still squat and deadlift. Hopefully when I see a doctor on Wednesday I can get more info
Patella pain when squatting kozzletoff 25 4 yearseknight (58109): @lauralovestolift there's no such thing as a VMO exercise though. There are quad exercises. They all work the VMO; they also all work the other three heads. It's incorrect to advise someone to attempt to work such a specific area of the quads. You either work them all or you don't, unless you're going to hook up Russian ESTIM while doing quad sets. Insofar as the knee valgus, the picture you linked demonstrates just that. You may not have...

Quickest Way Rusty 7 4 yearsBeans (4204): What are your goals? If you want to bring up your squat, bench, and dead, then squat, bench, and dead. That program has a ton of cardio, which is fine, but it won't necessarily help you achieve upping your lifts.

Please help! Torn ACL! Need exercise advice dgevurtz 3 4 yearsDevley (1): Agreed, rest now and heal properly. I have heard many stories of re-injury and worse for ware after. Listen to the doctor and follow advise. Work your way back in slowly and always treat with cold after to avoid inflammation from building up. The knee has sch little blood flow to begin with, you do not want to obstruct that unnecessarily.
Shin splints forgottenpass 26 4 yearsDevley (1): Taping your shins helps, compression socks and cold after. This is a great article on dealing with them and what exercises will help.

Nissen Fundoplication Surgery Recovery! ssjamos 3 4 yearsssjamos (10): @mikew Thanks brother. Yeah, I do agree with you, however, I also do think additional ab work can help strengthen my core, benefitting my compound lifts in a positive way. Not so much sit ups/crunches, but moreso plank-type exercises that will allow me to carry/move more weight. But yeah, compound lifts are hella taxing to the core anyways so additional work isn't absolutely necessary :p
Routine modification due to back soreness queenquebec 1 4 yearsqueenquebec (25): Alright so I've been following stronglifts on consistently for 7 weeks now and I've had lots of back pain. My form on squat/deadlifts are good, but I find my core is weak and need some attention. I also notice that, adding 5 pounds to the bar every sessions was over kill for me. From the info, I gather I should be focusing on goblet squats, plank/glute bridges, stiff leg deadlift and front squats, for a good 6 week to recover. I was...

Post Surgery - Minimize muscle loss DaveShredder 7 4 yearsDaveShredder (1): Thanks for the advice. I ended up eating at maintenance and found no visible muscle or strength loss in my upper body. Because I couldn't walk at all for a good 1-2 weeks I found I lost quite a lot of size and strength in my legs. Hitting the gym after 2-3 weeks off was tough but I'm back at it, upper body is just about where I was pre-surgery. However my legs have some catching up to do.

Knee pain ThatTeenThatLifts 10 5 yearseknight (58109): Hopefully you don't squat this way. If so, it's either the root of your pain or contributing to it greatly.

Maintaining muscle mass while injured Rawsteel 3 5 yearsRawsteel (940): I've been doing the plank and 2-3x10 Mckenzie extensions daily since it all happened (3 years ago) and i've also been doing reverse hypers (5x10 afternoon + 5x10 evening) the last 2 months (advice from Eknight). And my form is spot on in all my exercises, i did however squat to deep for a period of time which caused a nasty butt wink, so when my back allows me to squat i only go to parallel to avoid this (high bar).

Hopefully I will see an improvement in the impingement test within a weeks time with my continuation of this stuff.

It's not terrible pain, but severe tightness. It's on both sides at the bottom of my erector spinae muscles medial of the iliac crest.

Are bruises normal? almighty_she 25 6 yearsOptimusPrime (1257): @almighty_she Is it normal? Yes and no. It's more prevalent in women and is often directly correlated to anemia; in your case, probably an iron deficiency resulting from menstruation coupled with a vitamin deficiency. And if you have a high caffeine intake, that too could/would contribute. Take your vitamins, stay hydrated. I'd say 'don't sweat it', but you could always go get a blood test to zero in on the root causes.

Bum lifts on exercies ball while holding a medicine ball works the core! These work for me and improve my posture so you have a solid base! May I suggest a class of Pilates a week!

Anybody here familiar with toe injury's? Shezza94 28 7 yearskickinchicken (8717): That's because you're building up pressure in your legs and feet and the bruising means you have broken blood vessels so you're not allowing yourself to heal. It's like scratching off a scab. Can't say that I wouldn't be doing the same thing myself though. lol.
Deload during a cut Shezza94 2 7 yearsOhhLoLo (3393): You could do a deload week or maybe just a deload day for legs (because of your toe). Just listen to your body; if you take a deload week, make sure to get back into it and hit it hard the following week! If you built a solid physique doing heavy lifting, I don't see the need to change to lighter weights to "cut", that's pretty much all diet.

Basically doctor insists as I can bend forward to touch my toes and have no shooting pain, I'm fine. Yet I cannot move by back backwards much beyond a hyper extended region without a feeling of pain and instability in what feels like a joint. Going to have to wait till I'm out of my home town and back at college to see a decent doc I guess. The fact I'm not in any excruciating pain is reassuring but god damn why does my...
Can i build muslce,loose fat@ same time? DFMaster240 27 7 yearsMixxd (4): He's been training for about 5 years now - he's 25 - And yes I don't say fat is strength -I say it contributes to the overall power he has that allows him to lift a lot more than what would be possible if he were not at his level. Trust me I've made fun of him tons of times for being fat ( and he would make fun of me for having abs and how real men should have guts and beards, which is why you're all probably confused as to why I'm defending...
Steroids - The view of a medical user 10pscor 15 7 yearscassious (2926): They could have tobacco in pharmacies and anyone born before 2000 would need a prescription to buy it, and at an amount so that they cant sell it to others. But then the problem arises from organised crime... youd get cunts growing and selling it.

Invicible scars for dark spots on face ? andrianna 13 7 yearstarotale (433): lol did you mean to say invisible instead of invicible? I thought you were saying "invincible" at first, so I was going "wait, wat the faq he means like the invincible spiderman or something?" and then I saw that you probably meant to say invisible, so i hit my forehead. so if a scar is invisible, then apparently no one can see it, because it's invisible. i can't grasp the idea of this product.
Pinched Nerve asianpower 8 7 yearshaole (2109): I have had a pinched nerve in my neck a few times. I think it was caused by doing shrugs but I'm not sure. It seems like every time I start doing shrugs again it comes back so I haven't done shrugs in a year. Massages feel good but I don't know if they help it go away faster. I think they usually go away after about two weeks.
Forward Rolled Shoulder - Help? asianpower 4 7 yearsAKK (1998): i wouldnt go stretching your shoulder throw an extreme range a motion or any type of stretching that involves putting it through a ROM and holding it there, a static stretch I believe is the technical name. Go see a chiro, I think everyone would benefit a lot from seeing a chiropractor. I know I would and I might just go see one due to the fact my shoulders are a tad bit off level.

It sounds stupid, but they're just going to bill you a bunch of money for like 5 visits, pump you full of drugs, and tell you how long you need to take off from the gym. Give it 6 weeks rest (no squats, deads, etc. Just upper back/body work), and you'll be good.

You can manipulate it back on its spot, but you have to stick your finger up a place not worth mentioning here, lols. You have to get it fixed by a osteopat.

BEGINNER NEEDS HELP WT 350 LBS 6'1 HT zage3 10 7 yearsbrian12 (9495): I second this.. Sort out the diet, understand nutrition and keep learning about nutrition, and what makes a healthy balanced calorie restricted diet.. Add in some simple cardio (just walking, sports etc) to start with, then add in some weight training, and see how your body responds. And then increase training intensity from there. Good luck!
Stomach disease - preserving muscle mass adam82a 4 7 yearseknight (58109): In the long run, taking off a week to recover and heal isn't going to make a bit of difference. After you've been training 15-20 years, do you think you'll even remember taking a week off?? -EK

broken toe adam82a 2 7 yearsmikew (11494): I would read this - http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/broken-toe Then I would try to get my toe xrayed to determine if it is broken or not. At the very least I would try to get a referral to a orthopedic foot specialist, especially one that specializes in working with athletes. This person will properly diagnose your injury and tell you if/when it's safe to get back in the gym.

Busted Rib - Need ideas for workout pl8e 5 7 yearsBaiTu (3096): Maybe you should take a hike. Get out in nature. Breathe easy. It is a better workout than just being on the computer or watching tv. You're not going to lose so much strength that you won't be able to regain it and hiking gives your legs a decent workout.

Hand and Wrist help! salgslag 4 7 yearsbrian12 (9495): Buy a set of bodybuilding wrist straps Additionally you can use thin boxing straps which will give you wrist and hand support. I live in Korea, and many of the guys in gym do this. You must be sure to buy the thin boxing straps - otherwise you will lose too much mobility. Personally, I just use wrist straps when training heavy

Muscle Atrophy on one arm...HELP Mazz 9 8 yearsLittleDragon (486): This may sound a bit like bullshit but maybe consider meditation. Taking time out to concentrate on his left arm may help restore movement and control to the arm. Muscle memory is developed by repeatedly performing a movement. The brain controls skeletal muscle movement. By repeatedly performing a movement with control you use the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex to concentrate on getting the movement right. Each movement fires the neurons...
