the weather is ruining my knees and this may be the problem for you joints also, try glucosamine sulfate at 2-3g a day,it may help you for joints. everything else just heat and stretch

Doctor, doctor, mi hijo esta muy enfermo y ha tenido gripe por 7 semanas y ya no puede comer, talvez me puedes dar los antibioticos? Yo soy muy gorda y tambien no tengo dinero para pagar. It's just the name of the game for peds, IM or GP. Non primary care specialization is the only way to go. Stress and cortisol that goes with non primary care will burn you down to nothing. [/B]

that is why you need a good profession like mine.

Louden: I suggest taking 10 days off from the heavy gym lifts. Try non-impact excercises such as swimming and cycling. Re-work your routine, the problem is most of the time out joints and ligament do not grow at the same rate as our muscles, so they get hurt first under heavy load and take much longer to heal. I personally would come back to lift lighter for 2 weeks around 50% max intensity and really work on form, then incrementally raise the weight and evaluate response

Lord Suston,

I am really fond of your advice. . in fact this is what I plan to do.

I think that cardio work and other training in that nature will do fine.

The last thing I want to do is lose conditioning.

Its funny, since the cold front passed, by body is not in pain as it was before it passed through. Light rehab work helped my lower back to a certain degree.

For now, I shall let everything recuperate. . thanks for all the suggestions!

Well, here is my current routine:

I don't think its overtraining. I happen to believe its the weather, minor stress, and possibly minor flaws in the diet. Here is my current traininng program:

Workout 1 - Biceps, Forearms, Calves, Quads/Hips, and Hams

1. Barbell Curls - 1 set (8-10 reps)
2. Behind the Back Wrist Curls - 1 set (8-10 reps)
3. Standing Toe Raises - 1 set (12-15 reps)
4. Squats - 8 sets of (3 reps)
5. Leg Presses - 2 sets (8-12 reps)
6. Good Mornings - 1 set (5 reps)

Workout 2 - Chest, Delts, Triceps, and Back

1. Incline Barbell Presses - 1 set (5 reps)
2. Seated Barbell Presses - 1 set (8 reps)
3. Lying French Presses - 1 set (10 reps)
4. Barbell Rows - 1 set (8 reps)
5. Seated Pulley Rows - 1 set (10 reps)
6. Barbell Shrugs - 1 set (8 reps)

Other heavy movements such as:

deadlifts
partial deadlifts
stiff leg deadlifts

are used in rotation.

I also use speed work, moderate weights, and heavy weights for all core movements.

louden another problem could be that you do a lot of single sets that are really tough on the joints. joints like muscles need to warm up. By doing single sets with max intensity you might put too much stress on the tendons and joints versus 2-3 sets with a little lighter weight not done to failure.

I hope you get better and come back smarter and stronger

Yeah... it's basically just that you've been training heavy for a long period of time. Even louden needs some time off every once in a while... see how you feel after a week off. It'll be good for your gains too.

Lord.

I always warmup.

This includes 4-5 light sets before the 1 all-out set for large muscle groups and 3 warmup sets for small muscle groups.

I do not count these as sets because maximum intensity is not used. . . instead these warmups allow me to become accustomed to heavier loads.

Here would be an example on Barbell Curls:

Warmups: 70lbs x 10, 90lbs x 8, 110lbs x 5
All-Out Set: 130-140lbs x 8

Casual,

This sounds reasonable. . .your advice is always considered.

You people should do some research on Prolotheropy.
and try a chiropracter. YOu would be very happy prolotheropy does wonders for tendenitis. tennis elbow jumpers knee
makes the tendon stronger and pain goes by by
