Tried one chiro. That was pretty worthless. Dont have the money to put out for anything. Definately dont plan on surgery since its risky with the disks being next to my lungs. Hate doctors anyway. Might try some more physical therapists. Cursed out my current one today. I go through doctors fast because of my explosive nature.
Dont get along with anyone in the REAL world really. Maybe some deep tissue massage if I can get it covered. ThanX again!!
Hello all! This is to the few who may still read this journal. I just started training again yesterday. Its been 5 months out of the gym. I made a few attempts to train but ended up trying to force it and causing myself more pain. The reason I was out is two herniated disks in my mid back from lifting. A rare location for herniated disks. Ill be doing mostly bodyweight exercises with some weights thrown in. My goal is to train light for a month and not give in to the tendancy to KILL THAT SHIT. I beleive that I keep fucking myself by trying to rush my recovery. At this rate recovery could be endless. So its time for a change. I plan to do lots of core work and prison type training for now. Current stats are 173lbs with 16 3/4" arms, the rest I dont know. My goal is to find a way to build back up and exceed my previous size. Which was around 19" arms at 195-203lbs. Ill have to do this in an entirely different way,so it should be interesting to see how I will KILL THAT SHIT and get back in shape. The amount of weight I move will be my least concern for a while. I just want to get my size back for now. Im just thankful to be doing push-ups and chin-ups for now. I hope to slowly progress this way. Lots of hanging and stretching will be done as well. Maybe after a month, and seeing how training is progressing Ill go on some supplements. Form will be very strict on everything. At the same time volume wont be the usual for the sake that I dont want to OVERKILL THAT SHIT. After 3 sets of push-ups to failure my chest is actually sore, which wouldnt have phased me before. I lost alot of strength and endurance. But losing 22 pounds from my strongest bodyweight and 30lbs from my heaviest bodyweight can do that. Waist still measures the same too, so that was muscle. Also wasnt eating like before, which was never great anyway. But Id like to start the force feeding again and start gaining some size back. Some alternate methods Im considering to gain size are: 100+ rep sets,Lots of bodyweight exercises,training purely for the burn and pain (not weight),Using the crossbow occasionally (but with my usual intensity), concentrating purely on muscle tearing. Things like that. Lots of core work also. I feel I can make anything work given the intensity I will put into it. I will find a way. It wont be easy, and Its alot more difficult then before, but its a new fucking challenge. Here is my next attempt at getting back into training. I am sure there will be many attempts before I get back to my previous size. ThanX for reading!

I'm impressed! I bet it's tough to swallow your pride after moving around the tonnage you used to. You'll get it back. Sounds like you've got the right mindset.

Great outlook you got Beast! I recently found out I have an extruding disc (L5). Got one epidural shot and may get another. It is not easy sucking it up and taking time to stretch and do core work, but it's imperative. I know you are in this for the long haul and the time you spend now with recovery and strengthening will help you in the end. Best of luck
