congrats! .

Thank you!! I’ve finally self-diagnosed and started treating the issue with my left shoulders/traps :slight_smile:

It was cause my left tricep had many knots that were glued onto my shoulder. and it was pulling it out of its socket (i think) and doing funny things to my scapula. I’ve been self-administering gua sha and going for monthly tigger point therapy recently. Within a week of self-treatment i’ve noticed tremendous improvements. I’ve been reading on graston technique and, on paper, it seems similar to gua sha. I want to experience it but can’t find any therapists in my area that perform it.

Front squats could have been smoother, felt like I was favoring the left leg more. Loving reverse cable flys, shoulders feel much stabler and already looking rounder since doing them consistently the past month. Overall great workout, with the three hours of sleep I got before this. Time to nap now…

Gua sha interests me. I am going to give it a trial run on some leg pain this weekend. How often are you repeating treatments to the same areas?

I have never had a treatment, but have heard good things about Graston.

Frequency depends on the severity of the petechiae/bruising that appears. So far i’ve done 3/4 treatments per area, each time after the previous bruising have completely gone away. I practically looked purple after I finished mine. I can post a pic of my first run at it if you want, but the pictures are pretty graphic. All the best man, i’m loving the results.

Ah yes, the severity of the bruising…lol…calves and quads not much at all, shoulder and a nice portion of my upper trapezius turned a nice shade of purple. The frequency makes sense. I should’ve told some people what I was up to. The visual affect can be a little shocking. I’m going to continue to explore gua sha treatments.
Thanks!

Great workout, everything felt great. Could have went heavier for deadlifts but didn’t want to switch the weight between my friends set and took the opportunity to work on some pauses. First time doing Decline DB hamstring curls and they’re a killer. Definitely worth doing, especially if you have a partner to help set up.
