Bloating side will just be my shitty digestive system. I think it *may* be the creatine pulling too much water through into my guts lol.

But yeah, I definitely noticed more energy, focus, strength, etc from it. If I didn't get the sides I spoke of, and it wasn't bad to use a PWO all the time....I'd use it every session haha

I use pre workout every session, I also use creatine every day

I have a massively broken digestive system that seems to get pissed off over anything.

Anyway to speed up tendon recovery?

Big weekend on the tools has proved costly. Skipped Monday because I was sore and pulled the pin towards the end of tonights session as the tendon from the back of my elbow to the top of my shoulder is killing me.

Felt mostly around the tricep elbow connection point.

I get the same thing, rest usually does the job. Mine takes about a week to go

[PWND]

tried the NO3X. The orange/pineapple once is the best tasting pre work out I have had. tastes like berocca.

Started loading up on the creatine as well. No real dramas there. had my 20g before dinner with no issues.

Now just to stick to this over the next 3-4 weeks that I have off

A full week off, shoulder still not feeling 100% =\

Trying to think about what other things i can do with my home gym that requires no shoulder use.

Squats

Maybe deads

That's it, but hey, that's 2/3 of your body taken care of

[No Crust Racing]

Can't hold squat bar in place without rotating shoulder to use arms = twinge.

Can't hold onto bar to dead without having load go through shoulder = twinge.

Bodyweight lunges maybe? Some swiss ball morning glory things (for back)?

Trying not to even use my arm to drive the car..

Front squats (either arms crossed or in rack position) - neither of these make your shoulder rotate externally.

Bent over BB rows hurt?

Have you tried doing squats with your hands right out at the edge?

or dropping your pinkies off the bar?

or thumb over instead of under..

[God_speed]

ActionDan what are you doing for shoulder rehab? Get some Therabands from a physio and maybe a lacrosse ball for "deep tissue massage", light dumbbells also work, for doing "lucky cats" (external shoulder rotations / rotator cuff exercise). Attach the theraband to a door handle or table leg and practise retracting your scapula then drawing your elbow back, keeping it close to the body... these are the sorts of things my physio got me doing after I damaged mine.

[No Crust Racing]

Nothing specific for rehab at the moment, just rest, some ice, and avoiding use until the general discomfort goes away.

Not sure if any of those movements will aggravate it TTT, Can give all these things a try though and see. Cheers

depending on what the issue is / exactly what causes the pain, you can find a way around it.

Front squats don't externally rotate the shoulder at all and that's the most common shoulder pain.

Hands out further will make it harder to keep the bar stable but means the shoulders rotate much less.

This shit is pretty good to with really light weight.

[No Crust Racing]

Ahh yeah I remember you giving me some good rotator cuff exercises last time (different shoulder issue).

This is, I think, the tendon between my elbow running up the back through the tricep and connecting to the bony point in the shoulder. Most notable at bony point now where as a few days ago most notable toward elbow.

Added a tablespoon of malted milk powder to my post-workout shake.

f**king boss.

I use maca powder, so good

[TTT]

go see someone man

Find out what it is exactly.

it's usually scap or subscap.

depending on what movement hurts will say which it is.. and which exercises you should do and which you should avoid.

[No Crust Racing]

Might have to, see who's open when I get a sec, bloody silly season indeed...

[triggerhappy]

I use maca powder, so good

Maca has to be the best natural supplement i have ever used and probably the only one i have noticed a difference with in a few days. Clear thinking and massive boost in libido. Its some good stuff thats for sure. 2 teaspoons in my oats or a milo with skim milk which i find the tastiest

[No Crust Racing]

Never heard of it?
