Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

 

Btw SpeedoJosh that mobility work on the wrist really made a difference, i was actually able to rest the bar on my chest while holding it with 3 fingers with almost no pain at all.

 

Cool thanks.


Compression with a knee brace?

 

here is a knee exercise you can do without a load on the joints.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjI0lnYhewo

 

That dude is jacked as FUCK. them viens on his inner quads when he was squatting

 

ya he's repping out 405s like im repping out 225s, dude is a monster.

 

His calves are HUGE too. Damn! I wanna be a condensed version of that. jacked, but not super huge

 

what's your max now brett?

 

On what? I havent maxed out on anything really. 295 is my dl max, around there for low bar squat but I do high bar now which is around 225. No idea for the bench, I don't have a training partner so ive never tried for bench.

 

No worries man. That's awesome. Keep at it. The more you work in that position the easier it gets too.

Alpha, you can use a knee brace for compression when walking around I guess, but usually with compression, you wrap it with like an ACE wrap. The compression is to keep the swelling away.

Also, with elevation, try to get it over heart level, so when laying, prop leg up.

Of course it also depends on how bad your injury is. Some simple Rest and Ice can go a loooooooong ways in recovery.

 

Chest day today, trained one of my friend who just came back from a flu+food poisoning. did some CNS recovery training and slow tempo work. while i did some chest super set. dumbbell decline fly to decline press is a bitch and a half lol

 

decline dumbbell press is a pain. i have set up a bench on either side of decline bench to grab the weights off of but it still is more of a workout getting into position then the exercise itself.

 

ya i felt like my oblique got a workout too lol

 

Get familiar with LOTS of roids!

 

calves are 90% genetics, otherwise flex wheeler wouldn't have gotten implants

 

Where is the pain?

I have been having knee pain at the very top of the knee for months. I went to the doctor on Wednesday and he said it was 100% normal. I was happy, but sad at the same time... He said my hammys are really tight which can cause constant strain on the knee because the are always wanting to pull the knee back from a straight position.

That's just me though, not sure what kind of pain you guys have.

 

last day at ufc gym, final impression:
Pro
good weights altho dumbbell only went up to 120s
good crowd, most people are there to workout
huge space does not feel crowded even when there are a lotta peopel
two of everything never have to wait for stuff
Girls there are hot as fuck!

Con:
Lotta D bags who don't know how to lift
wanna be cross fit hippies hogging multiple station or multiple sets of dumbbell to do there little circuit.
dude slamming bitch weights
roided up dudes with bitch legs screaming like they are passing a kidney stone

 

Mine is on the outside of my right knee, towards the back of my leg. Feels like it did when I hurt it wakeboarding. Never went to the Dr about it. Just did the RICE trick and it went away after a week or so. Hurtin pretty bad now, though. Can't hardly walk down stairs. Can go up fairly easily. Comin down hurts like a mother.

 

do you have knock knee or bow knee? does your hip knee and ankle form a straight line?
