Sarge's Lifting Chronicles 2006-2007

yeah that sucks bro..sorry to hear that. hopefully your hip flexros are just tight nad causing the soreness.
also, is it pain or soreness after lifting?

Yah i hope so too... i'm streching those bastards in all directions multiple times a day to... i'm lengthing my streching sessions now. And if I'm feeling up to Deads (probably will, lol) I'll HAVE to ice down after and see how that does.

Pain of soreness after lifting... negative, unless i know i lifted with bad form. My erectors are conditioned now so they don't flare up at all... not even with strict GP rows after squats, AND hypers.

Pain or soreness is mostly in the morning upon waking... i think i'm going to have to try to sleep on my back still even with the new bed... Damnit.

An ultrasound would be much cheaper than an MRI (although still at least a couple hundred dollars) and still pretty effective as a way to view tissues. If I remember correctly, that's what AB had to analyze the source of his back problem.

F^CK! After all the damn BTN talk today... I messed my cervical vertebra up... ugh ... been iceing on and off for a while, havent' even eatin' PWO food yet

somewhere around the 3rd and 4th set i think i hit my neck... and it was also unstable today... even lost my footing at one point on a rep... wtf... just a bad day ... all banged up... massaged between sets after I got messed up.

I think it's due to the fact that it's getting heavy for me and i had to dip upon receiving the bar on my traps now... didn't have to do it before... may have bent my head to far forward too...

End time: 7:25pm

had planned to do a quality DL workout... abs, hypers, and cardio too.... friggin' a.

At least i feel like I got some work, or at least it looks like it on paper.

do you get free health care across the boarder? I may have to make a move to the friendly north, lol.

I appreciate the concern... it's a shitty situation. I'm thinking about making icing it 20 on 20 off (2 times) and then see him ASAP (maybe even ice it there) maybe that'll work... or maybe heat to loosen it up?

We pay a fee monthly that is like 80 bucks for my whole family it is 30 for a person, usually either your work will pay part of it or all of it. and everything is free, mri's, xrays, any test the doctor asks for.

Prescriptions are another thing but my company pays for it all. now granted for us it is a little expensive but we have 6 people in our family and that also covers dental and eyeglass and eye appoinments.

If you want your appointments sooner then you have to pay but if it is an emergency you get them right away and are billed anything, but you must be paying that fee to the government monthly otherwise then you have to pay for everything.

Thanks all for looking out... i'll be alright.

Thanks man... yeah i'm tryin' my neck is killing me, i can't bend it in certain directions.

If i'm not 100% tomorrow... i don't think i'm going to PR squat or even try to put weight on where my neck hurts... fuck that. I may have to resort to leg press for the first time in 7+ weeks.

Damn SGT with all them injuries maybe some HGH is in your path lmao jk

Hope you feel 100%, even if you do i wouldnt risk re-injering it again. Do some Leg presses bro, no point on getting hurt. Come back with even more rest and blast some new PR's when ur feeling better

sarge, depending on how serious the neck issue is, you might consider dropping the Friday workout altogether and treating this as a mini-deload (with the reduced deadlift reps your volume is lower than usual anyway). Repeating a week is better than having a nagging injury that could develop into something serious. And even if you think you could go in and do some benching/rows without neck issues, I'm not sure what the point of leg pressing would be, other than feeling like you did some leg work.
