Been to the docs today as been getting elbow pain for some time now it comes and goes but yesterday it came with vengeance and kept me up all night it's still extremely painful today. So the docs said its tennis elbow gave me stong anti inflammatory and told me to rest it , Also my good friend Zed gave me some great advice so thanks Zed. Hope to be back Monday !!
Sorry to hear that girl. As much as it sucks, take the time to rest. It's worth it in the long run. I hope you recover quickly!!

I think it's contagious! My back started feeling better, so I headed to the gym.. Had a liter pain in between my shoulder blades... Which I attributed to the stress I am under... Went to do close grip bp... And well um my left arm went numb, and I well almost killed myself via bar to the throat hahaha
I think it's a pinched nerve or something... I can't even hold a bottle of water in my hand... So back to no gym... Lol what the heck is going on here... Two days shy of 32 and I'm fallin apart?!? What the heck!!
I hope you feel better soon D!!!

Thanks Snipes !! I would be very cautious of this it sounds like exactly what happens to my trapeze after pull ups and that's normaly a warning if it goes of completely it's so painful I couldn't even talk as the pain when I did was excruciating in the end my docs prescribes diazepam to relax the muscle I had three weeks off work and the gym then when I got bk to gym a month later the same thing happened. Pull-ups are all very good only after extreme warmups and caution of form. Hope your feeling much better soon chic

Hahaha lmfao. I once read an article on some the funniest spellcheck errors your one was way up there with them lol.
I've always had a problem spelling it's like some form of dyslexia it's crazy because it's only little words I have trouble with and as much as I learn how to spell it the next time I try it's not right , my spelling is that bad that even spellcheck don't understand it lmao.

Ya I'm not exactly what they call graceful
I actually spent most of the day in bed... This pinched nerve is killin my motivation! No birthday cake either
I have a hard time with the rest of life when I can't get to the gym... It brings me down. There is not even a small hint of improvement in the pain, and it is very discouraging.
But thank you both for the birthday wishes!

Sorry to hear that snipes. The pain is so intense too. I used to take two paracetamol and two ibuprofen together it's the only thing that helped it only eased it didn't take it away completely but in that much pain anythings better than nothing!
Hope your feeling better soon chic.

Dam gurl those numbers are really looking GOOD!!
The test is whats making you retain water. Guyz use Arimedex or Aromasin for that but IDK what ladies use for it. Are you using the winny? With your inflamation I would adivse against it sugazombie.
I will talk with N2 about your bloat. Also keep an eye on your bp, and watch salt intake.

Thanks Zed I found it a lot easier than last time. Yeah I spoke to needto sat he recommended 20mg winny ED. and test 50mg 3x Per wk. So you think I should stop the winny ? I don't mind either way just wasn't sure if this elbow thing is joint connected so just thought I would carry on as the rest of my joints seem great. I'm eating 3000 mg fish oil a day and glucosomine but if you think the best bet is to stop I appreciate your opinion and will ASAP. Thanks again for the vid I can't wait to try them.

For fruit and whipped cream...
Mmmmm yum! Jello jigglers! So much fun! I'm thinking it's more for joint health or absorbtion of protein but that's just a random guess. ?
jennifer778
New member
Lol!! Yeah I'm sure it is. I've heard before that gelatin is another good source of protein...,
It is for joints. Hahaha fruit and whipped cream. Nice.lol

Jigglers are jello that's been cut into shapes and when u pick it up it jiggles. Hence jigglers....90s phenomon made popular by bill Cosby to give kids another reason to play with our food. Lol

Lean over shrugs? That's new. Guessing they look just the way they sound, bent at the waist and shrug?

Lol I'm sure you could purée some kind of fruit and mix the gelatin and some splenda in it and would taste similar....not quite the same.

I'm sure folks here can help you!! I'm still a baby in the game so I wouldn't know much to help but the rest of the EF gang can definitely lead you in the direction of success!! Good luck!!
Dam I hate to be a damper on the party but........back to serious training now....
You can use that but you can also buy plain gelatine. This is excellent for joints! Just ask a store clerck, but you should be able to find it by the jello that you are talking about too. Or you might find it in the Canning section if your store has one.

Good workout sugazombie. What do you think on the shrugs? As you get used to them you add weight fast.
Dam sugazombe you are really really lookin HAWT!!
On the shrugs remember to go back toward your waist also. So the motion is up and back. If you can do both up and back as one motion fine and if you have to make it two movements thats fine too.

well.....cosby was kinda arrested for drunk driving a couple times so he may know about the jello shots!
Jen10
New member
would you suggest using glutamine chews in addition to gelatine? my joints kinda suck especially my shoulder and knees.
Not to worry sugazombie, I work out alone too.
The nice thing about that 5x5 is that you dont go to failure on your excersizes. So if you dont feel that you can do the weight for the full set of reps then just do what you feel pretty sure you can.
So lets just say that your benching 135, 5x5. You do your first set fine and feel strong, thats 1x5 and same on second set all good.
So now we are on our 3rd set and your starting to feel the weight. So you 1x4, that was set 3.
Then on your next set, set 4 you can only do one and your shot. Ok fine. STOP. Your done with bench for this time around.
Then next bench workout you work to improve each set from set 3 by 1 more rep. You do this till you get the 5x5 for your bench. Then you progress and add the appropriate weight.
This is frequently how I progress as I get up in the heavier weights.
Also those peeps at the counter are paid to be there to help you out. Dont be afraid to ask them for a spot if you want to. Its their job!
For you sugazombie there are no machines at your gym, Smith or otherwise.
Glutamine is great for muscle recovery, but are you thinking of Glucosamine for your joints?
Donna,
I love it when you wake up
Take it EASY on those joints... Especially if you've been on winnie. I totally agree with Zed about the gelatin (there are some good "joint support" powders they sell at Whole Foods here). I think also make sure your diet is on point and I'd get some Vitamin C (you need it with the gelatin to build cartilage and other joint tissues) if you're not already taking it. The water is a key point too.
Be careful benching without a spot. That's how I tore my rotator cuff a while back. Something to think about: when we train for strength our joints can't always keep up with our muscles. Your body is already sending you signals that you're at that boundary. You can still grow and get stronger without maxxing out every time. Focus on form. Lift safe. I need you to keep posting great workouts for a long time!!! ;p

Hey chief! Thanks lol I was trying not to let anyone see me videoing myself lmao , as for the jello thing I will order some ASAP anything to help me as this gets heavier is a bonus. Many thanks buddy.
And the shrugs lol tbh they gave me the same irate feeling that kick backs do but that's prolly just til I get used to them I can tel there going to be a great worker prolly just as good as rows for that particular muscle anyway. So thanks bro once again you saved my bacon lol.

Hey Cutey this posts very thoughtful and helpful thanks so much , yeah I eat vit c by the handful and I'm going to order me some gelatin it sounds great.
I'm feeling a bit better now bout the benching as Zed said its ok don't push yourself I can miss a rep and take it from there next time. Also your right what you say bout my body giving me signs and that I don't have to max out every workout , that made me think yeah that's spot on its not like I'm in no hurry lol. I always push myself and now that you mention it I think may b a lil hard! ,
And yeah lol what do you mean I love it when you wake up lol I'm puzzled.
Thanks so much for the kind words and I'm glad you like my posts I also love following yours too.
Donna
I mean I love that you're in a different time zone and post at weird times so it always keeps the forum going when it would otherwise lag!
Yes..great post CB. Especially on cycle, we think we are super human but can do the damage too. It seems to be the message of the month for all of us...pay attention to our bodies and train smart. Patience. All that good stuff!!
Donna....loved your squat form. Looking great!
