But whats regular is the point i'm trying to make, I dont care about the choices. you should be consuming far more of it, every day. edit: especially in relation to the fact you said eating less ruins strength gains

I know you say you're not bad, but thats terrible compared to someone that has meat and veg every night, which isn't hard to do. soup is majority water. There is hardly any protein in your diet even if you were to eat meat and veg every night. Although, if you were eating a litre of soup and 500+ grams of pasta bake a day, it wouldn't be as bad.

I don't necessarily mean eat less, I mean eat smarter. Metabolic Adaptions occurs both ways, you could eat more food, not run and be leaner quite easily.

Use the tennis ball as Rev said, try it on your rhomboid, roll onto it on your side for you lats, laying bodyweight on the ball. Or, press on your chest from your collar bone ( or use the ball ), working downwards, about an inch from the sternum to see if there is any pain, explore that area. If you find the spot the pain may shoot down that tricep.

Not at all, just stating the obvious. Steady state cardio is counter productive to strength gains as well from some views. Also, consuming less energy vs burning more energy is the same thing = less energy in the body.

Eating less will help that last point as well.

How many injuries have your record holders sustained being taught how to deadlift incorrectly Markos?

Haha, I was waiting for this

Have you purchased anything from overseas before? It never magically turned up. Also, bank conversion rates are quite a bit lower than advertised dollar values. No bits are 'missing' It was purchased as a short block, with addition of 4wd adaptor and enlarged sump. FYI, I agree, I've accepted multiple offers lower than the price originally listed but no one has came up with the cash. See above. If anyone is interested in making serious offers to purchase a never used RIPS block, below cost what it is to get one here without the wait, feel free to PM me.

I don't run. I generally wear them on leg days. Self massage/massage should be apart of everyone's routine IMO.

Compression improves blood flow. Blood flow is good. I wear them often, in full tights. Feel it keeps warmth in too.

A good massage to release them works. Then keep on top by stretching etc. look uphttp://www.google.com.au/search?q=kelly+starrett+hip+flexors&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari If they aren't better after those videos and explanations, watch them again and do them again properly.

just a couple of days ago, a guy i know going to gym frequently, i told him to increase his weights as often as he could.....was stoked with the 'burn' after applying a basic progressive method.. Apparently it's not common knowledge

I agree somewhat. Chiro will align back etc, instant pain relief usually, but don't adress the issue of the muscles that stretched to let it shift in the first place. Trigger point therapy is good, but not everyone will have trigger points. People will have their preferences, usually because the person that fixed them is good at their job and a bit more. not just a drone.

I'd say physio, but personally i prefer a GOOD remedial massage. they cover more than one spot for the same money.

You need to read a lot more if you have to ask these questions.

That will be your rhomboid, got that looked at?

160, 125, 190 wish i started years ago.

is there an echo in here?

I agree and disagree with your closIng statement. It annoys me to anger people that stuff around when they want to train 'with' me. People that do the same as myself, yes, it is good to have a spotter when needed.

First time Markos has seen him deadlift

Who are you training for? Yourself or someone else? Do what you want to do and prove to them when you're far stronger your choice was the better one

Oh ok then. Persistent sucks, its annoying. Work the whole group, really get in there, to the point where its near unbearable.

I doubt a professional would grade it as a 2, a 3 is a rupture, which is off the pelvis, requiring stitching to attach. I couldn't walk and mine was only a grade two, there are large variances though. If you feel it's a grade two, you'd be mad not to seek professional advice/help. Scar tissue doesn't just disappear.
