There's at least one good one, he works for Barbell Medicine and basically said "getting a chiro degree was the fastest way for me to have the access of a medical professional, like getting paid through insurance etc". He just strength trains people that come to him

Ok, practicing chiros. He’s said as much that he doesn’t really practice

Any musculoskeletal ache or pain that can be resolved by massage/art/adjustments/dry needling/cupping etc can be solved like this:

Honestly lately I feel like the best way to deal with aches and pains is to find an exercise that seems to "aggravate" it. If the pain gets worse with repeated exposure to a very light resistance then you probably need to go to the doctor. If it gets better as you warm up/get blood to the area/whatever, then just start doing that exercise regularly and progressing the load and the pain will typically go away permanently.

Often times pain is exacerbated or even totally caused by psychological/social factors, so just thinking you need to do all this crazy poo poo to stay pain free will make issues worse for you. I know ever since I realized lifting wasn't actually seriously loving my knee or back up and chilled out, things don't give me anywhere near as much problems as they used to, and I'm lifting heavier and maxing fairly regularly at 35. I basically just treat it like Feelix said, unless it's something that hurts fairly bad even doing mundane tasks and doesn't get better, I just sort of make it a small priority and do some random small exercises to see what makes it feel better but otherwise don't worry about it really.

Two kinds of people who put chiro on their business card: PT who's just marketing and some rear end in a top hat who thinks everything wrong with you, including that nasty case of norovirus, is caused by your spine being misaligned.

At least that's how I feel the industry is. Hard finding the correct one so uh yeah.

I did lower back lifting a week ago for the first time in forever. (Admittedly I started out too heavy.) gently caress my back was killing me for the next few days. But I've made sure to not be totally immobile with it, stretching and working it a bit each day. Just about back to normal now. Jogging actually felt like it helped a lot, got the blood flowing good.

Well, black people are just that, people, and people sometimes happen to be really stupid like the Hodge Twins. Plus a lot of right wingers love to share stuff by them because I guess it shows "Hey I can't be racist, here's a black person that agrees with me" so they get a lot of attention and poo poo for doing it.

You might be using your back too much. Really focus on pulling down with your ab muscles. I used to think it wasn't hard and someone fixed my form and i almost threw up in front of them during the next set

Mine give no resistance until the end, i had to mess around with where i stand and poo poo but i do em just like the gif from the page he linked and they got tough fast, i did the one armed judo chops after too. Since the movement is pretty fast though I am worried about my doorframe hopefully theres a lot of nails in that top trim piece

By the last set I tried also adding my thinner band onto the one I was already using, and had figured out how to use my abs and not my hip flexors, but still got 20 reps in before I started to feel fatigue. I think I just don't have enough band

Idk another reason to make the pulley setup I've been putting off but tbh I'll probably just switch back to v-ups lol

Strike quick and hurry at him,

So that you dishonor him before the judges



I need a recommendation for a calisthenics home routine I can do to change up my current routine. Currently just doing a normal push/pull day 4 days a week, but the routine is kind of boring and I've lost progress since COVID started. I need something different and dynamic that utilizes minimal equipment (I have access to a pull up bar, dip bars, rings and bands).

If anyone has a solid routine they can recommend, I'm all ears.

2-3 at this point. 1 day when I'm doing 531, then I'll throw in couple of 3x4-12 sets in on off days after primary lift.
