    I felt like an animal again!

    Elbow is bothering me again so gonna have to lay off rowing and elliptical for now. I need to work on strengthening my extensor muscles in each forearm. I also need to work on my rotator cuffs like you mentioned.

    I have one for my calf but never thought about it for my elbow. I helped a friend move some heavy furniture so that's the culprit behind it hurting.

    Just read the past few pages and was going to suggest it! Feel free to PM me for confirmation of whether we used the same source.

    I can vouch for IT band foam rolling being awesome for knee issues- long history of cycling and my patellar doesn't track correctly. A good masseuse and physio is worth the money.

    Igifuno- What steps would you suggest to strengthen tendons? My understanding is that halving(reducing) the weight and following linear progression at a slower rate should be sufficient?

    Welcome!

    I hope the TB500 helps out. My left knee and hamstring stay tight as hell, to the point where it feels it could pop!

    Hey bud, Happy New Year!

    So used to getting up early, just hard to stay sleeping.

    I think I may go hit a steam and a good stretch session today. Smoothie wore me out last night!

    The very best method for strengthening tendons is absolutey through the resistance training of major muscle groups. With respect to futher strengthening of the tendons, form is something that MUST be a focus. Short range movements help ensure you are not 'bouncing' and using 'spring action' type movements to help with reps (which can be a major contributing factor in injury). Also, by doing these short range movements, this actually puts futher emphasis on your tendons (and ligaments) which, in turn, strengthens them.

    There are also other specific movements that target different tendons, such as the behind the neck press (targets shoulder girdle tendons), squats (targest the tendons in the knees), rehab movement and stretches are great as well and you can find plenty of examples on you tube (bicep strengthening, tennis elbow, etc).

    Interval sprints complete, I think I did 12, lost count.

    Legs felt tight and weird? Weird as in I usually have the same pains when running but today, my right knee gave me trouble.

    I stretched and hopped on the foam roller afterwards, man that thing has my number, feels like a torture device with all my knots!

    It is usually my left knee but today felt a little discomfort in my right one.

    I still have knots through out my whole body, and legs are tight. The foam roller seems to help but it is pure torture!

    i think i may just go get a car buffer to use on my legs to try to loosen them up!

    my bud is a triathlete and he says that he knows a guy who swears by it.

    i am willing to try anything to get these knots out!

    well, legs felt good for about 30 minutes into my 45 minute workout, then they tightened up. my left hammy is really tight! i can literally feel hard knots in it. it is really tight right on the outside where my left butt check is. maybe one of my glutes is tight along with the hammy.

    the car buffer seems to work, just need to spend more time grinding on my IT bands and all the other places i have knots! when awoke this AM, i almost felt straight sort of. my posture is terrible and i don't know what it feels like to stand 'normal'.

    i will have to really stretch good all day and tonite, so that i can do my sprints tomorrow.

    Did a 15 min warmup on the stationary bike then hopped on the treadmill for sprints. I did 10 today.

    I made sure to stretch really good and to hit the foam roller and the buffer hard!

    Vrooooom vroooooomm!

    First shot of TB500 done!

    I will have to order some more, only ordered 8 bottles.

    I also ordered some L-proline, taurine, and more Vit C. I have been doing some reading on collagen and seems that Vit C, L-proline, and L-lysine have some effects on it. Can't remember the articles but I'll do anything to help fix this!
