Drunk Driver Dad posted:how old are you? I'm 31 but I think I have said that in here before. mine is just a lot of naggling little things because I work so much(And a trash diet but I'm slowly improving). My knee is actually good enough I've been able to squat the past several weeks no problem, hoping it stays that way since I'm building my strength back up in my knees. My back wound up just being a pulled muscle confirmed by a dr visit. And the wrist thing immediately feels better already. I figure it'll be like this from now on although hopefully less frequent as I eat and hopefully sleep better. 46 in one week  Death approaches and I require gains.

I'm sure it'd hold up longer if I wasn't constantly dragging it in and out of position since I don't have the space to keep it set up all the time in my garage. Same here. Mine's in place on horse stall mats in the garage so I can work out while free-balling with no fucks given.

It's only sciatica if he strained his low back or glutes doing pull ups  Sounds like more a bottoming-in-the-sauna-gone-wrong thing.

If I ate 4500 calories a day, that would be my body weight equivalent in pounds in about a month, poo poo. At age 46 I could probably bulk on 2200

Khorne posted:did I just watch someone pass out on a single rep of 205lbs, did he hit his head and have a seizure? He just had a vasovagal response. You pass out, twitch a little bit, then the blood comes back to your brain and it's all good.

FedEx Mercury posted:Where does the blunt force trauma of cracking your skull on the rack fit in? If you don't vasovagal after every lift, you're clearly not pushing enough weight. jonathan posted:I forget exactly how to do it, but it's the breathing timing. If you do it just right (wrong) it's pretty much a for sure thing you're going to pass out. Strain like you're taking a massive dump - that's the Valsalva maneuver. Same deal when you're lifting heavy - when you stop straining, your blood vessels can't adjust quickly enough to maintain normal blood pressure > BP drops > fall down, crack head open, twitch a little.

jonathan posted:So I've always inhaled enough that it felt right for posture and then began exhaling slowly as I was 75% through the lift, then with about half my air capacity I'd let the bar down. I've never felt light headed. Are you saying that people hold until the top of the lift then exhale strongly and that is causing the drop in BP ? I'm just trying to make sense as to if I am at risk with my breathing. It's not necessarily the breathing, but the straaaaaaaaaaaining and sudden release of pressure. Basically you're pushing all the blood toward your head, and when you suddenly release the pressure, your body as to adjust by making your blood vessels contract a bit to keep your BP normal. Sometimes it just can't adjust quick enough, your BP drops, and then you faint. Example:ever sit up in bed really fast and get super dizzy? Same kind of thing, except that's related to your posture instead of hard muscle contractions. Breathing will help. It's those longer, more strenuous lifts that'll make you dizzy.

Khorne posted:I read a poo poo ton of actual research, case studies, etc, and I also got this stuff approved by 2 cardiologists and my thoracic surgeon. It was a big decision. And the first week or two sucked because my heart rate would borderline max at times. If that didn't improve I would have quit lifting really quick. Since then, it has been all good pretty much. I was a cardiology nurse for a long time and when I read "artificial valve" and "stenosis" and your heart rate, I went Glad to hear your docs gave you the go ahead and you're going for it, though. For christ's sake don't get your heart rate so high though, fool! I've seen tons of patients who just go full-sedentary-mode when they have a valve replacement/stents/what have you and those are the ones that do crappy post-op, so you're definitely staying ahead of the curve!Also, all OHP last night with some lateral and rear delt stuff. Hurts so good. Still unable to lure 'roid bros into the garage despite leaving a subtle trail of creatine and PWO.
