So, as the title reads I'm starting an 8 week TB500 log to see if I can heal the following injuries:

1.) My biggest problem is a pinched nerve/herniated disc in my neck. This was an injury I got doing BJJ and I took almost 10 months off and it finally healed and 2 weeks back and it was right back where I started. I stopped BJJ several months ago and the injury is still the same. This has a MAJOR impact on any pressing movements and impairs my workouts dramatically.

2.) Tendonitis in my right elbow. (tennis elbow) It was pretty major at the end of last year so I took some time off to let it heal. It's fairly mild because I take a lot of precautions when working out. I use lifting straps during all back exercises to help reduce the inflamation and I also wear a strap on my forearm which really helps.

3.) I have mild pain in my left knee esp. when doing a lot of kicking in Muay Thai.

4.) I also have a right hip replacement from Nov. 2011 that has been bothering me from overuse so I'm hoping it "might" help.

At first I will prob. only update a few times per week because I don't really expect anything at all for at least 6 weeks.

I'm using Ar's TB500 and my first week will be 4mg's followed by 2mg's per week for the following 7 weeks and then a monthly maintenence dose of 2mg's/month which if I'm pain free or better I will prob. follow for several months. If pain is still there then I will discontinue.

My gym split is 4 days per week and occassionally 5.
Day 1: Chest/shoulders
Day 2: arms
Day 3: legs
Day 4: back.

I do moderate cardio and also Muay Thai a few days per week.


I did my first injection of 2mgs Wed. 8/6/14 with a Sub Q injection. No issues and no changes with anything.
