The color of the trunks don't matter as much as the tint in the airbrush from the spray tan booth.

Tomorrow is multiple 20RM squats with chains on the bar and chains across my body like bandoleers!

I wanted to update this with my progress. I was given tramadol, indocin, and soma and took those for a week straight with no working out. It really worked wonders. I could feel it getting better every day. I used a heat pad for about 2hrs each night.

Here we are a few weeks later and I can still feel some slight swelling in what feels like the tendons attached to my spinal erectors. Mostly on the left side and the sciatica discomfort has returned, albeit much better than the first round.

I'm looking to get either indocin or voltaren to reduce the swelling as naprxen ans ibuprophen aint cutting it.

Doc says indocin is the grand dady of NSAIDs and no working out on it.

I don't know where voltaren falls in the scheme of things. I just need something to reduce the swelling. Anyone have any other meds that do the trick or have an NSAID strength ranking chart? No narcotics cause those mess up my workouts and motivation...

Tramadol and voltaren work differently but both are anti-inflammatories/pain relievers. Tramadol is the best I've found for back pain so far.

Chains make every exercise cooler. I'm pretty sure you can do flyes with chains and it would look cool.

Even kickbacks?

Kickbacks with no chain: lame
