You know it!!!!!!

[RaginCajun]

[RaginCajun]

shot a doe with a crossbow, first time hunting with a bow!

[RaginCajun]

maybe?

i think i may have some type of deficiency in some mineral.

my whole body is tightly wound, yet i am not a stressed out person?

chick was massaging me the other night and she said that she has never felt someone that had that many knots.

i have only had one professional massage and she said the same thing.

my body is all jacked up!

[RaginCajun]

Did a 45 min urban bike ride.

Felt good, could have kept going but it got dark on me l.

Posted a question in the supplement section, as I have been doing research on mineral deficiency and I think that I am both calcium and magnesium deficient. Hoping that I stumbled onto something, I mean praying! Not sure about what type of testing this would be, seems it would have to be maybe intracellular, but have not looked into it thoroughly yet.

One thing I started doing last night is supplementing with more magnesium. I also did this little concoction before my ride today: vit c, magnesium citrate, Himalayan pink sea salt, and a scoop of Gatorade powder. Not sure if it helped any yet, but I will continue to use it to see what happens.

And one more thing, my diet has not been good as of late.

[bikeral]

Its all that horizontal cardio you are doing.

[RaginCajun]

Its all that horizontal cardio you are doing.

Could be one thing causing it!

[RaginCajun]

2.5 mile jog/walk done.

[GirlyGymRat]

My body is very tight and knotted. YOGA. I went last nite and my back and joints were popping. Feel so much better today! soooo much better.

Why?

[RaginCajun]

Why?

It hasn't been terrible but not sharp.

Lazy is the only word I really can find to describe it

[RaginCajun]

Had my body fat checked by calipers at the gym today. 17.5%, which is what I thought it is.

I need to start counting macros again, haven't done so in quite a while.

Did an upper body workout today.

Heading out to go hunting again, hoping to bring home the bacon!

[RaginCajun]

Well, Girly, you did it by asking me the simple question, why.

Spent all yesterday preparing meals for the week.

Started using my foam roller last night and I think it made a little difference in how tight my legs were this morning. I will continue to try to use it everyday as it was painful to try to roll/smooth out all of the knots I have in my body.

Fasted cardio this AM, 30 minutes on treadmill at 15 degree incline and speed of 3.3-4.0mph.

[Back In Black]

RC, you sound as old as I actually am!

It's all that running you know, I keep saying its bad for you

[RaginCajun]

Ha!

What about a fastinator!

[RaginCajun]

30 min of fasted cardio, did hills on the stationary bike.

Really got after it with a massage roller on my IT bands. I am bruised right above my left where I felt a huge knot. I am using a technique called ASTYM, to break up the scar tissue to promote blood flow to the area (hoping to get platelets and such moving to help with healing). I will get back on the foam roller later on this evening to try to help get all these knits out of my legs. It may take a long while, but if it works, Hallelujah!

Diet has been good so far this week

[Back In Black]

If your IT bands are that bad mate I hope you are laying off the running?

[RaginCajun]

I haven't ran in over a week. Just been walking on the treadmill and stationary bike.

And yes, they are that bad.

Prob my biggest problem and it's prob the culprit of most of my pains

A wise decision to stop running. Particularly on a hard surface. At least until you notice a big improvement. Still, them foam rollers are right cvnts on the IT bands

How's the lifting going?

I haven't lifted since Saturday, still trying ease back into it. Elbow (tendinitis) is still not 100% so just doing what I can.

Yes, foam rollers are right cvnts! I'm thinking about getting a mouth piece or a rubber tire to bite down on!

Ha ha, you wanna ask Marcus about rubber mouth pieces for when you are in pain

[RaginCajun]

bahahahahahaha

will do!

[RaginCajun]

Just finished up a little upper body workout

Still trying to take it easy on the elbow

Bout to go pick up my deer meat from the processor! Pumped!!!!

[GirlyGymRat]

That's very funny!!!

[RaginCajun]

30 mins of fasted cardio done, did hills on stationary bike.

Can't tell if the foam roller and massage roller are working, but my leg/knee feels somewhat different.

This rolling and massaging may take some time, as I have a lot of scar tissue to break up

[Back In Black]

Different in what way?

Are you doing lots of extra bike work at the moment?

[RaginCajun]

Are you doing lots of extra bike work at the moment?

different as in i think it is loosing up a little. my gait when i walk feels a little different.

not doing lots, maybe 30-60 hr of either stationary bike in gym or on either one of my two. i plan on getting my road bike back on the trainer

should i be taking any supplements to aid this?

[RaginCajun]

30 minutes on stationary bike.

I'm thinking that I may have to back off of biking as well, and may have to start just swimming for cardio at the moment. Left knee keeps getting tight towards the end of my bike, and really doesn't feel all that stable. I do however, must keep my ass on that foam roller. I think it is working but I don't think I am giving myself enough rest time. With the biking almost everyday, I am thinking that it is keeping my IT band and left knee tight.

[jdpeters]

Make sure the bike fit is right. Could be with where your seat position is from front to back. IT bands always need the roller when biking. If your heart rate is in your aerobic zone (between 60 and 80 percent) you should be able to ride every day.

[Back In Black]

Are you doing leg extensions, to full extension?
