Nah Boobs are ok...
I do see a bit of a sag right below @ss..where it meets with hammies...I have no idea if it's fat or if it's lose skin..not enough muscle to fill it in..

That area is tough - probably a little of both - just keep workign on the diet & training

LMAO! Brazilian Butt Lift! A friend of mine described it once - a good friend of his got it done - sounded like the most painful thing on the planet. I'm thinking a few more deep squats and hyperextensions is better than that sort of surgery ...

Quick update - had the initial appt for my knee this morning. Turns out the knee doc is also a shoulder guy so I got both done at the same time. Diagnosis:

Knee: bursitis - potential torn meniscus
(some detail: http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/meniscusinjuries1/a/meniscus.htm). Have an MRI scheduled for next week. If it is actually torn, then arthroscopic surgery may be the solution. In the meantime, got a ref for a physical therapist basically to learn better / which exercises I can do to not annoy it further.

Shoulder: tendonitis in the rotator.
Got a cortisone shot and prescribed 2 Aleve x 2 / day for the next 2 weeks. Also told to visit the PT for some better / supportive exercises that won't hose it up further. I go back in a month or so and see if an MRI is necessary. He thinks it probably isn't torn - that would most likely be due to a specific trauma incident / injury and (luckily!) haven't had that. So mostly like just an instability / tendonitis.

So in the near term, I can train light and do cardio. He suggested against things like lunges & deep squats due to the stress on the knee... Ugh. Guess I'll have to find a good sports-oriented physical therapist...

Hi Sassy,

Sorry to hear about your knee and shoulder problems. Here are a some links to some shoulder articles written by my trainer. Since I started training with him, my body has fewer aches and pains. Maybe there will be some information you can use.

Dayum you get to train w/ Eric Cressey? KEWLLLLL!

Also those posts look good -- I'll check them later today. I have to locate a PT off the list of people the doc gave me as well.

His a great trainer. I feel he is increasing my strength and keeping me from hurting myself. I tend to overtrain.

 

[Sassy69]

LOL all the enthusiasm huh? Yep its hard to contain it, but overtraining = under recovery and it is counter productive. (yea, I know, shut up )


OK for the record - I've never had a cortisone shot before. It felt great for the first hour, but since then, I've had this soreness creeping down my arm so it feels like someone punched me in the bicep and its all the way down to my wrist now.

I guess its time to start popping the Aleve.
