Deadlifting my way to Happiness - Al420's log

[BiggT]

Well, that above post is from 9:16 last night, it's now 9:34 the next morning. Check real quick now and if there is no vagina I would say you're good, lol. On the tailbone, once in a blue moon something gets tweaked or pulled or strained or whatever.

My advice on that is the same on the shoulder. Stop doing whatever aggrevates it and train around it (even if it means training like a gaping vagina for a couple of weeks). It should gradually get better and better, once there is no pain or discomfort going through the movements that used to aggrevate, you can start rebuilding those lifts, it shouldn't take too long to get them back. If during the rest the pain either stays the same or gets worse, then go get it checked out.

I can all but guarantee the tailbone will be okay in about 2 weeks.

When you come back and begin rebuilding the lifts, a traditional 5x5 plan would probably be most efficient at getting everything back up to par and getting your conditioning back up.

lol at the guy who snarls then squats like a little girl.

I'm spending the weekend with this vagina. If it's true, I'll have the sexes with him (it) and let you know how it was. Our wives will thinks it's strange but who really gives a fuck. I really like viginas anyway I can get them...

No vagina here - just a hurt lower back and a worthless left shoulder....not the same shoulder I hurt in the pool FF.

I am thinking ai have a small tear. My plan is to work my RC 3x a week for a month then try some overhead work again - I think I will be fine to flat bench and do form DB incline work. We will see - if it agrevates the shoulder I anin;t doing it.

Do you ever do internal & extrenal rotation exercises?
With the increased use of the V word up in here I am guessing no.
Bottom of the page here has the idea of the movement, the positioning in these exercise is pretty flexible (i.e you dont have to lay down, sit on the floor etc.)

I would have you speak to Treil but she is out of town all weekend.

It worries me that FF says you have 'worked through it for a long time' unless he was referring to the other arm/pool incident or whatever he was talking about.

Has there ever been a point where you have not used those muscles (training wise) at all? A week, two week? 4 weeks? A complete BREAK?

I do agree that if it is NOT a tear, muscle therapy from massages would be great. The lower back issue I'd honestly see if an adjustment is needed to aleviate that, may just be nothing major.

You do not want to apply hard pressure to a torn muscle to accentuate & aggravate the damage, esp b/c it may be trying to repair itself and you may make it worse.

You probably wont listen to me but I'd pay the money to see a chiro & massage therapist to get an opinion from someone familiar with tissues, bones, joints and can see you face to face to assess the situation and go from there.

Good advice, I had shoulder pain too until I started doing some light RC work before any shoulder or chest day, and my pain has gone. Also upping the amount of healthy fats has helped a great deal.

the tailbone issue makes me concerned about nerves. with the talk of possible rotator cuff issues, maybe that has caused a pinched nerve in there somewhere. i can't remember tearing anything myself, but seems like you would be hearing it if you did.....but i'm not a doctor and i would suggest seeing one. you mentioned you are self-employed. most of the time, hospital visits are tax-deductible if you work for yourself.....especially if it happened "while at work"

good luck bro and don't mess around with injury....
