Pecs being wayyyyyyyyyy to tight and my shitty posture and the tight hamstring. All these little things adding up

When I was about 17 until like 23 what really made me tight was everyday tasks like reaching stuff around, or just standing. Shit made my middle and upper back tight as fuck,so tight that even deep breathing I felt it. Took X-rays and did other exams, nothing changed, lower back was always fine but from the middle up, it was constant pinching pain until i got a job that made me stand 12-14h a day, eventually my back got used to it and I had a better posture too, been pain-free there since that.

 

[Big_BK]

Yeah i had a job last summer that started this fucking pain in the first place because i was standing all day working at a table.

 

[Big_BK]

No workout today, chest is brutally sore from the deep tissue yesterday and so is my back, feels like i have a pinched nerve in my neck i cant turn my head fully from side to side.

 

[Big_BK]

Soreness is getting better, neck is still tight so didn't train today. Will probably not train until next week.

What about the swimming? Still not up to it? I gained a nice 10lbs at least by just taking a couple of lessons a week, hungry after it and totally relaxed.

Just one more idea to consider:

In terms of diet, probably the most important way to reduce inflammation is to eliminate sugar and all grains. Using just this simple strategy may provide amazing relief. Refined carbohydrates can aggravate joints and even cause degeneration. Excess acids in the system do exactly what they sound like they do—they deteriorate and damage cells. Additionally, the body’s survival mechanism will attempt to neutralize these acids. So, as you consume sugar, flours, grains, and other refined carbohydrates, your bloodstream can end up in acid overload. The result is the beginning of degenerative arthritis.

For some, dairy and caffeine are two additional major acid culprits. I believe that metabolic typing and knowing one’s type is a great solution to avoiding and even reversing some of the damaging effects of arthritis as a result of diet.

Randy Couture is a strong advocate of these ideas, so he does a high alkaline diet, that kept him "younger" and tougher on his fights reaching the 40s.

Some good info guys, much appreciated. Back is getting better finally, havent had any pain the past 2 days so going to give it another day or 2 then start training again.

 

[Big_BK]

Back was a little tight when i woke up today, used foam roller and loosened it up. Pre workout stretching was good today. My tight hamstring is now loose and my back is not in dire pain as usual. Nice easy workout today but i am beat from it.
