Matty, have you had any medical updates on your previous nerve issue?

Hey PG, I was all set for surgery a few months ago, microdisectomy, took another MRI which showed that there was no further damage then when I originally hurt it. In my last consultation the doc explained that since I am progressing in getting my strength back and have not injured myself further he does not want to do the surgery. I was pretty happy that a surgeon actually decided not to do the surgery as they usually always want to slice you up. On the other hand I do believe down the line it may become inevitable.

Not sure of the amount of time, but I usually am Super setting alot of movements other than Deads and Squats, I find if I rest too much I get stiff so I like to keep it to no more than a couple of minutes I guess.

Does anyone other than myself use bands anymore, they seem to have fell out of fashion with raw and geared lifters, possibly with the criticisms of WS I guess, I still find them very helpful for myself, I have never used it reverse band fashion but for added tension and speed pulls I say they work. Maybe not so much for bench to add strength but I find its great for close grip and tri work.
I think bands are great for pull-aparts (obviously) and dislocates and assorted shoulder pre/re-hab stuff -does that count?
I bring my own pussy pad, er I mean fat gripz 'fer squatz to the gym, but apparently it has not caught on. True story.
of course it does! with regards to fat gripzzz ever since GNC has started selling them every bro in my gym has them like they are some new way to make curls even more challenging…
nice high pulls!!
bros have not caught on to the fatgripz here
wrist wraps how ever are on 24/7
