Na I’ve not but I’ve heard good things. It’s an interesting concept. I’ve never really noticed any benefit to hanging from things when my back hurts, but I have found that I can kind of pop my lower back if I lean over a table in a certain way.
If you do try one then I’d be very interested to hear how you get on with it.

Haha, can you imagine? If that guy wasn’t 1% bodyfat then is diet must have been terrible
Hanging from things or other spinal decompression techniques (band traction, inversion table, etc) are one of the things I can count on for back pain relief.
But, obviously, back pain can be caused by a large number of issues, so unfortunately there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ remedy.

Come on, I love Thiago!
LMAO!!!
Well, I went an checked it out, but no eye candy. 
haha! He did have some electric posts in his time. Does he still post here? I’ve long since given up on the pharma forum
When my lower back is bothering me, I have one of those neoprene waist slimmers, that I will put on for most of the day. After a day or two of this my back is usually good to go.

I dunno, man. I’ve not been in that forum for a long time.
Just a random thought, what would you say about young yogi and what advice would you have given him in regards to dating(and cheating? or don’t)?

Oooohhh Ben you little tart you know how much I love it when there’s some non-training related discussion in here!
That’s a great question, and I intend to give it the love it deserves so let me have a think first before I answer…

@Yogi1 hey Bubba since your on the other side of the pond, have you checked out trainedbyjp
Sorry! Totally forgot about this:
Ok, so I’m hardly an expert on dating, but I do have extensive experience of being kind of an asshole. I’m not proud of it, so if at any time any of this post sounds like bragging it’s really not.
So for about 90% of my adult life I have lied and cheated on my partners. Honestly, I have no idea why I’ve even done it. I guess people would assume insecurity, but I honestly don’t think I’m insecure (I actually have a very inflated sense of my self-worth). I think what it comes down to is I’m just an asshole who doesn’t care if he hurts someone’s feelings as much as he cares about indulging his every whim all of the time.
When I think back on my dating life, there have been SO MANY awesome girls that I’ve just lost interest in because something else caught my eye. So many of the girls I’ve dated were really into me, and would have made for awesome life partners, but I was too interested in sleeping around and seeing if I could trade up.
And for what? I have no idea. I’ve slept with married women, girlfriends of people I’ve known (acquaintances, never friends, but still a total dick move) and relatives of friends of mine, and not felt even the slightest bit guilty. I know I should feel guilty, but I don’t.
And the worst thing about it is my friends like it about me. They love hearing my ridiculous womanising stories and living vicariously through my actions. The girls never find out, and my friends all love it so there’s never any kind of moral authority to answer to.
It’s not something I particularly like about myself, but I am very superficially charming and have no problem getting people to like me and think that I like them, particularly when it comes to dating. I do it without even thinking about it or trying. The people who know me well laugh about it when they see me using the “Bob charm” because they know straight away how fucking fake and assholey I’m being and that I don’t really care about the person I’m talking to.
So if I were to give any advice about dating to young Yogi there’d be no point because he wouldn’t listen. I know how I should behave, but I never behave that way. I know that, on paper, I should give a relationship the respect it deserves but the moment a tiny bit of temptation comes my way I just think “fuck it.”
My dating history is a long line of wasted opportunity because I’m too fickle and selfish ever to really commit to anything and anyone. I’m better now then I was though, I think, but part of me think that’s because I’ve just gotten lazier (juggling multiple women is a hassle).
So there you go @Benanything. Probably not the answer you expected.

Well… It’s pretty much the answer I expected haha! Guess I chose the right person to ask. I’d share more information about my ‘situation’ but I’m afraid I don’t have the same amount of anonymity you do, girlfriend/friends know I’ve a account and who knows what might happen if one of them went snooping around.
Anyways back to point.
what do you do when you know what’s right/logical but for some weird reason you can’t help but do the exact opposite.
“If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”
No, it doesn’t. Hell even if you heard it, it doesn’t make a sound until you tell everyone it does.
I think you understand what I’m getting at.
stockpiling drugs as we speak!

yogi dot t dot nation at gmail dot com if you ever want to chat in private. Tell me on here if you email it though; I never check it.
I remember that “right” is an arbitrary social construct put in place by religious types who believe that their actions will be judged one day by a higher power. If you don’t believe such a judgement will ever come then there is no reason for you to conform to those ideals.
exactly how I feel about it, and if you do tell people about it make sure it’s people you can trust. Do it over a few drinks and get a few laughs.
I find it’s quite liberating to have a small selection of good people in your life you care about and will do anything for. Anyone else is, for the most part, simply a resource.
