I had surgery thurs. for an impinged rotator cuff. The procedure was subacromion decompression (i.e., they shaved some of the under-part of my acromion bone to make more space in my shoulder. The shoulder hurts, but feels a lot better than I expected. I'm not wearing a sling, and am already...

Ibuprofen, 600mg, 3x per day for 14 days (do NOT miss a dose) good advice. just stay away from anything that causes pain, and you should get better. good luck.

As I mentioned, I have tried ART. After two visits, the guy just aggrevated my shoulder rather than improving it. Thankfully he didn't make it worse. Despite my experience with active release, a lot of posts on this site speak highly of the procedure. My guy may have just been a dumb ass...

Have you ever had to have surgery from an injury sustained from lifting weights? Please explain.

Have you ever had surgery from lifting weights? Please explain.

What injuries have you had as a result of lifting? Just curious.

I noticed that no one has responded to your query yet, so I thought I'd put in my two cents. I'm no doctor, but have dealt with a shoulder injury. It seems to me that the shoulder is the area causing the most problems for weightlifters/bodybuilders, and can become chronic due to poor blood...

I don't think I can explain it adequately. Here are some of the things I used to research it: 1. Here's a link to a "Testosterone Magazine" interview with the guy who developed Active Release...

I'm suffering a similar situation. I didn't injure my pec...it's my shoulder. Yet, the doctors have said there's really nothing they can do, short of surgery which they have strongly advised against. Therefore, I have been relegated to physical therapy and routine modifications, which (as...

Just had my first session with a specialist in Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.) here in Dallas for a bicep tendonitis problem I've had for about 5 months. It hurt like hell, but it was a good pain. I've only had one treatment and my shoulder already feels much looser with less pain in the...

"Well what do you think about the US airforce shooting down that plane over Pennsylvania? That is a wonderful piece of American terrorism. Do you want to kill that pilot? Oh wait, he was doing what was best for his country so he is forgiven (even though he killed innocent people). The Freedom...

Like many of the responses so far, more than 1 power rack. Also, better variety of music...can't take club music every day.

Perfect!! Thanks for the help.

Anyone know where I can find video samples of extreme intensity training on the net? I came across a site a couple of months ago that had some awesome videoplayer clips of bodybuilders and athletes pushing themselves to their limits and beyond, but can't seem to find it now. I have a new...

I stared lifting at 14 with no problems in terms of stunting my growth...6'3 and the tallest one in my family. My son, who will enter puberty in a year or two, is an avid football player and extremely interested in weight training. Consequently, I researched the subject and came across some...
