  1. Rotator Cuff?

    Just got back from my first appointment with the Chiropractor. I wasn't used to it, he put me on some electrical stimulus machine for 30 minutes to fatigue my traps before he could work on me. He said I was misaligned at C7, exactly where I figured. I feel great right now, but he said to stay...
  2. Rotator Cuff?

    That's encouraging to hear, I was thinking about doing that but didn't know anyone that's gone to a chiropractor. The active release therapy I'm doing is helping a bit, but I'm getting impatient and need results. I can't bench heavy and not being able to go heavy is starting to get me bummed...
  3. Rotator Cuff?

    Just an update: Someone suggested that it may also be a compressed nerve at C7 in the Cervical vertebrae which will cause weakness in the triceps which I'm experiencing. I'm already researching Active Release Therapy, but do any of you know about or tried non-surgical spinal decompression?
  4. Quit smoking

    Thanks bro.. I tried to quit several times over the decade and never could.. each time I tried to quit cold turkey, it seemed something happened to make my life more stressful.. something would happen at work, or some arsehole would cut me off on the way home, or the gf would decide the day I...
  5. Quit smoking

    I've smoked for 12 years, then one day decided it was time to quit. The first 3 weeks are hell, especially if you have a drink or are socializing or just finished a big meal.. you crave the smoke.. but trust me, I've been wo smokes now for about a year and a half and it's made all the...
  6. Rotator Cuff?

    Will do..
  7. The official TALL guys thread

    I'm just 6' 3" 240. I used to be in the 180s and 190s about 10 years ago (I'm 33 in Dec). I remember when I finally broke the 200 mark, i was stoked! I find lifting heavy has helped, really focusing on squats, deadlifts and cleans. Eating, I supplement my meals sometimes with calorie shakes. A...
  8. Rotator Cuff?

    What luck, I ran into a doctor last night at the gym. Some old timer on the stationary bike. He heard me talking to one of my buddies about my problem and chimed in. He says it sounds like I have Suprascapular nerve entrapment. Active release is next.. he said the other option is surgical...
  9. Rotator Cuff?

    Right on, will do, thanks
  10. Rotator Cuff?

    I just tried that. No pain either way, wide or small circles. However, I noticed some creaking (old man joints?) when I go clockwise and when the weight is at about the 6 o'clock position. No pain, but at that point it feels like the joint needs some synovial fluid. Any of you guys heard of or...
  11. Rotator Cuff?

    Thanks Clint, ha, ya, I'm turning 33 in a month. Let me know how that Havoc works for you, your pulse cycle (EOD?) and any details of your PCT. Before and after weigh ins and strength gains would be cool to know too. Justin, thank man, I'm heading to the gym now, I'll do that. I appreciate the...
  12. Seeking OTC Testosterone increase guidance

    I agree with Neoborn.. squats, deadlifts.. these naturally boost your body's test.. I see a lot of guys in the gym hitting the upper body but ignoring their scrawny little legs and wondering why they can't get their bench up in the 300s or higher.. believe it or not, hitting your legs will...
  13. Rotator Cuff?

    Thanks guys for all your advice or comments.. every bit helps. I'm slowly getting stronger, but weak compared to before. I wish I had health insurance, but don't. I'm trying to find a hot sexy doctor woman on a dating site right now.. jk Anyway, I'm going to take it easy for a while. I benched...
  14. Just some SIMPLE PCT advice...

    I've been following forums on these sites for over a year now, and never need to post any new threads because 99 per cent of the questions I have been answered or at least being debated thoughtfully. I thought The Sinner's post on PCT back in May was kick ass. Check it out! My only advice is...
