Yes sir, I alternate between it and the small V handle (the one many of us use for Tbar rows, chin ups, etc.) for seated low pulley rows. They both do a great job.Originally Posted by Sfla80
The small handle seems to hit the middle back better, I guess because you can get a slightly longer pull with it, and the wider handle defo works the outer portion better.

Good morning hitters happy Wednesday I'm getting in my morning caffein. Strained my quad yesterday and it's pretty sore today ugh... Hopefully it's nothing worse
AR-Platinum Elite- Hall of Famer
Take it easy on the quad, Bio. When mine let go it did it with very little warning. If you do work it, warm up about twice as much as you think you need to, IMHO.

it's a little swollen ... Real sore I was thinking of stretching it out tonight. What do you think? I'm hitting the ibuprofen to help with the swelling as well
AR-Platinum Elite- Hall of Famer
Go really easy with the stretching, especially if you notice any bruising. I did some light stretching, and rolling with a Rumble Roller. Also, it may not have been the best thing, but I went for a massage after about the third day of dealing with it. When I finally went to the Dr., she didn't give me a hard time for doing that?
After the swelling went down some, I laid face down on the bed and got the wife to slowly and gently help me bend the heel of my foot up towards my glutes and held it there for a bit. Did that for about 5-10 minutes several times a day. Didn't start doing that until about a week and a half to 2 weeks after injuring it.
You'll be able to tell when youre ready to work/stretch it. Just go easy until you know for sure it's a strain and not a tear.
Think it cost me about 6-8 weeks of not working legs, doing crunches, and some back exercises.

Just took my TRT shot. I roughly calculated the BA content of Sun Pharma cyp and figured it was going to light me up, but it doesn't seem.to he as bad as I thought.
Been studying all morning. Will get up this evening to study a bit more for tomorrow and hit chest before work.

Thx Cape... I definitely need to eat more - I can feel my glycogen stores deplete when they are - but I'm trying for 3500+ which(3500) would be 300 over maintanence, but I try for 500... biggest thing for me is carbs, I respond very well to carbs so I'll eat them up until 8pm or past especially on leg and back day...
Whatever your doing is working very well though!

I try to carb up the night before legs and back and that morning. Although the way I've been hitting it I need to do it for every body part. Lol

ugh I hate skipping hopefully this passes quick

Phone call woke me up and I just got back my marginal labs from the Dr., so I guess I'll start my blast......now? LOL, no I'll wait until this evening.
I'll be calling on Dr. Kel now that my Dr. has cut me loose to do my own shots. I'm grateful that my Dr. even put me on TRT considering what she was working with (my health history), but after this blast it is time to fine tune things and get modern.
Back to sleep for me if I can. My review board is tomorrow morning, which might be a good thing since I'll be including tren in this run. Just kidding about that, my last tren run was ~ 100mg/week like Kel has mentioned and it worked out really nice without any rage issues on my part. However, it did make me want.to repopulate the earth.
Ok, guys and Ms. GGR, I'm going to attempt a little deep breathing exercise and try to get back to sleep.

It will be well worth it, Bio. Let it heal even if it is just a strain. I.occupied some of my down time by working on seated calf raises and extra forearm work. Not exactly as enjoyable as the challenge of moving shit with 100 pound plates attached, but still fairly rewarding.
The downtime from an injury sucks royally to the nTH degree, especially if you think you could have avoided it.
Keep an update going on how the leg is healing/feeling, please.

Ok, blast medication installed. Sustatestextestavisabolone or some such concoction just to kick the door open on the world and let them know I'm happy!
One more thing and then I'll stop my incessant prattling on for a bit. I used to exclusively use Terumo products, but my vendor quit carrying them and only has Covidien and Nipro brands.
The Covidiens needles are Ok, but the taper of the point seems off a tad. The Nipros however are just as good as the Terumo and B-D brands, in my opinion? Just throwing my 2cc out there.

It was both good and bad.
Even though it was a beef hot dog, I think that just means it came from the knee cartilage of a cow instead of a sow.
