Drunk Driver Dad posted:Thanks, also thanks to the guy who posted the other one above this one. Too soon to tell, but I'm not sure if they helped well or not yet. My really low back, close to where it meets my glutes feels really tight, mostly upon waking up, and works itself out as the nights(when I'm working) go on. I have a foam roller, but just a regular cheap one and it doesn't really get into my glutes well. I did however, order a lacrosse ball, and I'm going to start doing limber 11 at least once, maybe twice daily. I really hope that fixes this, and my knee issue(also this seems to be getting better, it's really arbitrary about when it happens). I haven't had that problem with my glutes, but the outside of my thighs do that. As I roll I angle myself to get the outside of my thighs, and it really hurts. It's a deep, nerve pain. I just switch sides often, spend a bit longer total doing it and it helps in the end. Hurts like a bitch to do, though. E: I stop once the pain goes away - it does go away, in the end. ...Everything I love goes away, in the end. Rodenthar Drothman fucked around with this message at 04:14 on May 15, 2016 |

This sounds like possible SI joint issues. As long as it's just a little achey you're probably fine until you can see someone, but if it gets worse or you feel sharp pain during activity you should stop immediately. In the meantime keep rolling and stretching. When my SI pain got really bad I started doing 10-12 reps of cat-cow when I woke up and right before bed to help deal the morning stiffness.

I just back back from the gym. Back still feels about the same, but I may have discovered(or not) the cause of my knee issues. I guess working this job has changed my body dynamics a bit and my hamstrings aren't as tight as they used to be, which means I wasn't do a very good job of sitting back and loading glutes and hammies when I squat. I made sure to do that this time, and had no knee issues at all, but it's obviously still too early to know if that's the case, as the pain has occurred rather arbitrarily(but definitely less frequently since i've been trying to stretch and foam roll it away) On the lovely side, any good feelings from my workout tonight got hosed up by the worst exertion headache I've ever had. Not only is it hurting my head, it built what feels like pressure up in my ears and they hurt like hell too. I need to stop drinking so much, I'd bet thats not helping any of these issues I'm having.

Yeah I also could cut down on my beer. Its hard when theres like 50 microbreweries in a 5 mile radius of me and a store that carries all of them 2 blocks away. On that note, I have acquired a carne asada burrito.

Also, I'll look into the SI thing in a bit, still got that headache and it's making concentrating difficult. Yeah, I hate to say it, but I've been drinking anywhere from 2-5 beers every single night the past few months. Maybe I'll swap to red wine and just have like 2 glasses a night for a bit, then cut down to one.

Alright boys I can still pull 475 pretty easily so it seems that this cut has only killed my ability to blast volume. Now lets see what toll a 4 month vacation takes.

Yeah, I'm also in a cut and my volume has just gone through the floor - gone from 3 sets of 8 reps of 85kg on benchpress to 3 sets of 5,4 and 3. It's probably more of a lack of glycogen thing rather than a serious loss of strength thing.

Number one rule of online fitness message boards: No matter what you do or complain about, there is someone who is doing at least as much with little to no difficulty. Are you at a 500 kcal deficit and you are proud that you keep working out even though you feel like poo poo and barely sleep due to hunger? Here's a guy who eats 500 calories less even though he's a foot taller and then runs a 10k after each workout, and he just got a promotion at work! Do you feel proud of yourself because you worked hard to lose 30 pounds in the last 3 years and changed your life? Well how about this dude who was morbidly obese last year but now has washboard abs and just ran his third marathon! I shall now try to satiate my frustration and sense of inadequacy by going to the gym and lifting some stuff.

I googled SI joint stuff and most of the symptoms don't really match up. The pain doesn't really radiate or anything. It just feels exactly like tight muscles down there. You can feel the pain when curving my lower back, the part of cat cow where you tilt your hips up(posterior) I can feel the muscles don't like being pulled on. Also, as before, it almost seems as if this is just how they are up on waking up. Whether I hadn't lifted in a few days, or did it still feels the same. Also normally after I've been moving for a while, I can just barely bend over with neutral knees and touch my toes, but I come several inches short when I wake up with this, also leading me to believe it may just be my body acting like an old bitch as I sleep and getting tight. My lacross ball should be here tomorrow, but I may go ahead and run through limber 11 today and just use my foam roller the best I can for those parts. e: my mom who is over 50 and still regularly runs full marathons showed me some stretches she does that hit glutes and back and that whole area. My lower back tightness immediately felt a good deal of relief so I take it as a good sign it was indeed just my old tight(soon to be thick and solid) body rather than my vertebrae all about to shatter and shoot discs out everywhere.

I can still deadlift almost 300 lbs, that's not too bad for a skinnyfat twig man. But I imagine I'd have less injuries and faster growth if I cut down to 1 drink a day of red wine(for the health benefits of course!) My diet is another matter altogether. I was planning on putting together a whole grocery list, but had some crazy apartment issues with water coming out of light fixtures so I had to cut power off to everything but my bedroom for a while. Got it fixed and now I"m working on getting everything clean, it's trashed bad.

bamhand posted:PR week is over. Very nice! You're right at my strength levels but I think you're smaller than me so much stronger (I'm 6'3 223) I'm hoping for some PRs like that this week. 345 squats, 270 bench, 165 OHP, 435 DLs are my working sets. Hopefully I can get 3-5 on each.

I'm 203 and 5'8. Good luck on your PR's! 5 is so many freaking reps. Also I'm jealous of your bench press.

Unless you drink so much you spent the night throwing up and wake up with severe dehydration and killer abs. That would be good.
