Sarge's Lifting Chronicles 2006-2007

Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

DAMNIT... stopped into my chiro real quick... the L's are still being held tightly out of place by my muscles
Cracked the rest of my spine though... feels good, I love it.
And did a pelvis alignment "thingy" this time.... hadn't done it before on me... because my left leg was 1/4 inch longer than the other... now it's only a few milimeters off. And that's most likely the reason for my left knee being aggitated from squating with one leg noticably longer, lol.

Lifting looks good to me Sarge. Especially after the birthday weekend.

Thanks borseph

My lower back is fugging killing me today

ughhhhhhhhhhhhh I hate this! Damn spine. I need a replacement, lol.

Today is Week 7 Day 2 a la Light Squating, Push Presses and Deads ( ... maybe not if this damn back doesn't align itself by the end of the work day)

he did yesterday... but my lower back is still locked up (L1-L5) and out of line... via my tight ass muscles being comfortable with the disalignment... and it's been out of whack for so long its' going to take a few tries for him to get it.. he got my neck and middle spine fine.

Doc just wants to give me pain meds and take x-rays (WAY more money than my chiro) ... high deductible insurance... so it's pretty much self pay.

I forgot the states, I know it must be expensive but maybe you should get the xrays done just to know for sure. Done my lecture, I know I am not in your shoes.

xrays are good sarge to see your bones and discs...but you should get an mri as well...the tissue btwn your discs might be causing you some discomfort....mri's are expensive as hell though....make sure it doesn't get progressively worse bro. that's what happened to me...so i wnt to the chiropracter and got straightened out a few times....but then after liek 6 months that stopped helping...if you can afford the mri get it!

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?

not going to happen.

thanks though.

I'd have to be in agony and not able to walk to get all that done... medical expenses for the year are all ready through the roof

I don't need pain meds... i'm not even taking Ibprophen/Advil..it's not THAT bad, just really..REALLY.. uncomfortable feeling at times.

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?
