That's good stuff, thanks Crow!

Thanks Stuward.

I wrote that post in the off chance that people who suffered the same injuries would read it and chip in.

Cheers

Hi all, I have two main injuries, I almost torn a tendon in my should that happened five years ago. It never fully healed but now, thanks to my doctor who was a shoulder specialist before moving on to general practice, I have a new set of exercises to try and correct it. The tendon is the one linkin...

Thanks Crow Well I just started my new program today and here's a couple of odds n ends to add to my original post -When bench pressing, which finger do you put on the thin line? -I have added Chin ups, quickly realized that I needed it to be assisted. So I put 150 lbs resistance, got on the machine...

Hi all, This week I met with a physician and he diagnosed me with flexible flatfeet. I found this page and the symptoms are spot on http://www.foothealthfacts.org/footankleinfo/flatfoot.htm I can't walk for more than 15 minutes before I need to rest and I've been prone to shin splints since forever....

@Stuward I don't do squats anyway, I do have one though but it is on a Smith so it is self assisted. Even then it appears in my routine twice and I have 6 routines that I rotate every 4-5 weeks. Indeed shadowboxing is part of the boxing class, without weight. I am not sure if I follow you on this, h...

Hi all, Ok so last Thursday I suffered a tendinitis of the rotators cuff in my left shoulder (which mean my good arm). I have no idea how it happened. I've been working out for the last two years now without any serious injury. I always stretch and ramp up routine. I've also added boxing class about...

Sorry for the late reply, swamped with work! JungleDoc : I know it is a bit long for since I don't want to aggravate the splint shins I don't go all out at once but rather a slow 5-10 minutes build-up. In any case big thanks for suggesting Tabatas, I didn't even know these things existed before I re...

Hi all, Well whatever I do I can seem to get rid of this annoying affliction. I have no idea how they started, I am always very careful and apply myself to stretching and start things slowly every time I workout. First I started with a mix of over the counter pain reliever and massages, that didn't ...

Thanks guys! Stephen: -Shin splints seems to be my issue, the wiki page you provided offers sound method of treatment that I will follow. -My running shoes are fine I guess, I only use them for training so even though they are a year old the have "broken" but are very comfortable. -I believe I don't...

Hi all, Well first off, I HATE running. I mean I use to hate it with a passion. I've been steadily training for a year now and I am progressing beyond my expectations. Thing is though is that the more I train the more I feel like I need to raise the body heat prior to lifting, otherwise I'll always ...

Well I've just read the full article and it couldn't be more spot on than this!!!

Thanks Stephen :)

Hi all, About a month and a half ago I woke up thinking to myself that I should run before I workout. Well, being one who tries to follow his intuition I went along with it and so I've been running ever since and I love it. I am losing my bad fat at a steady pace and it makes for an amazing warmup b...

Hi Stuward, Thought so too but still I was curious about what folks on this board would have to say. Once, way back, I hurt myself because I didn't stretch so I learned my lesson and incorporated stretching before each training session ever since I started again last year. Still, leg and hip wise, i...
