depends…funny shit. Sitting here by myself laughing like an idiot. The mental image I have is not pretty.

just because you don’t have bruising, doesn’t mean you didn’t tear anything. it could be a tear deeper in. i’ve torn torso muscles that didn’t show blood pooling at all. I’m sure they were tears because i could hear the muscles tearing like a t-shirt.
just play it safe and don’t do anything that causes pain. work back into pulling slowly and be very progressive with the weight.

Ok, just got back from the PT dude, he is an interesting guy… he is the RMT for the Canadian contingent of the World’s Strongest Man competitors! Says they are going to open up a training facility up here somewhere… awesome! Perhaps widen my horizons, hmmmm…
He worked me over for about an hour, guys is a sadist (or is it masochist?)… but my shoulder and lat feel a lot better. Not 100%, but better… I thought he was gonna tear my lat right off the bone at one point. After we were finished, he says “Wow, you got a real high pain tolerance threshold”… what I did not tell him was that I was screaming like a little girl on the inside.
He says he thinks it is a combination of cramp/ spasm and pulled muscle. Same advice as Meat… take it easy pullin’ movements for a few days, drink lots of fluids and stretch it out. I at least feel better now, knowing it will only be a few days as opposed to weeks/ months. I have 5 days until I am scheduled to pull again, so we will see what happens then.

Yeah - and then the creases you get in your man parts when the diapers bunch up is no fun either.

OK, for all you f%$#@! comedians out there, it is not the ab cramp that has got me worried. I knew right off that it was a cramp/ spasm.
If you look a little further up that particular post, you will see a PR… then immediately below it, 630x1.5… it is this that has me concerned.
Woke up this morning… not so good. No bruising or discoloring… so it is isn’t torn. Headin’ to the therapy place… AFTER I put some dirt on it and take a handful of Midol… bastids… I knew I would find “sympathy” in the dictionary right between “shit” and “syphyllis”.
Hey Bun! Hope the PT guy gives you passing marks. Down here in the humid South, its dirt first then some grease and pat in some sawdust. But dont forget to spit on the cramp area to clean it good…
Man you are a strong dude. I wish I could train with you!
Sounds like a suitable treatment plan… can I throw in some Jack Daniels for medicinal purposes too, lol!?
Yeah, I wish there was someone up here close by that I could train with, bummer sometimes. I could use the extra motivation. I have had offers to train with some guys (from my last meet), but they are 3-4 hours away driving. Not very suitable. Somewhere up here close by has to be someone in the same boat as me.

Training with others also means having to work around their schedule. I have never had anyone consistent for more than a few months, and usually they slow me down a bit too much. That being said, it does suck on squat day looking around and trying to find ANYONE willing to spot.
you dont need any friends. back to they gym pansy-ass.
good news that it is more hurt than injury, and its great that you got it worked on instead of waiting and trying to tough it out.
Also, take some oily rags, and wrap them around your ankles.
that way the ants wont climb up and bite your candy ass.
jeeze - this is a rough crowd these days

That’s gonna come back on you…
Thanks for making me laugh guys… goin’ in today and workin’ legs/ accessories, then have to go to work for real tonight.
I will make sure I wear oily rags around my ankles… heheheh… I’m gonna steal that one and use it on my crew… that should raise a few eyebrows in this bull shit politically correct organization.
Wow, feel the love.
If you wanted hugs and kisses, you’d be a kindergarten teacher.
Glad to hear it isn’t serious. It’s amazing what the chiro/ART guys can do. As long as you don’t mind biting down on a dirty rag and sucking it up while they make you scream, you can usually carry on with your training.

Post this in the SAMA forum and it would give a totally different meaning!
So, took in a shitload of electrolytes, cramping seems to have subsided. Did not realize how dehydrated I had become. I should have known better, wearing kevlar body armour 10-12 hours a day does that. Still some pain in the right lat, that must be the strain/ pull. Put some dirt on it… rubbed some vagasil on it… good to go.

Good session today, felt a lot better. I was only gonna go 455 on the Zercher Squats, then said $%#@! it… God (and Meat) hates a coward.
Nice work on the Zerchers
just watched your vids. you have plenty more in the tank. you will have better leverage if you get your feet further forward. get those heals closer to the bar and then as you initiate the lift lean back and push the hips forward. if when you start the lift, you feel your weight shift to the balls of your feet then move the feet forward. it’s like night and day on these.
you’ve already told me before, but how damn tall are you?? you look like a fucking giant. i feel like videos make me look shorter and you look taller. or maybe they make you look shorter and you are just really really fucking tall in general:)
How high do you set the bar in the rack? A little above mid thigh? I’ve been unracking the bar, stepping back and then starting my zercher squats (like I would for regular squats). Am I doing it wrong?

no, you aren’t doing them wrong. there’s many different ways to do everything. I train all of these different supplemental movements to strengthen weaknesses i have in my squat or deadlift. for me, i am strong out of the hole but need more lockout power. therefore, i do my zerchers set right at the lockout where i force my hips through. doing them the way you are doing is more of a complete zercher squat. you can use the stretch reflex and you are getting more of a full ROM. it’s all in what you are shooting for out of the supplemental movement.
You know you look like the Friendly Giant with that shirt and the belt on. I found myself looking for Jerome Giraffe and Rusty the Rooster.

The gym I attend is in the Shire and only allows entry to Hobbits. I am actually only 5 foot 1 in height. They let me lift there because I am married to their Queen… lol!
Actually… I am about 6-3 in height…
HE is a f*ing giant. Though only his wife knows all the details.
It’s like someone took a fella 5’8" and inflated him up to 6’3".
