SOYG (Sick of Your Gym)

[Magnum]

Don't be in a hurry. Take it from someone with 2 rotator cuff surgeries. One per shoulder. Can't bench #### anymore. Less weight, more reps and it still hurts like hell.

I hear ya, since I broke my arm I am no where near as strong as I was and I can't push it like I used too. Broken in the shoulder joint, docs couldn't do anything, didn't even put me in a cast. It took me a year before I could lift my arm over my head. Now I am doing lightweight shoulder presses, pull downs, various shoulder workouts. It sucks because I know how strong I used to be and right now I am at about half that

After I got up off the bench, the donkey comes over and says, "You know what will make you stronger?" I say, curiously, "what?" He says, "Flatten your back, that arch is hurting you. Bring your feet up on the bench and tuck your heels into your butt. This has helped me add 30 lbs on my bench. You won't even need that board thing. You'll be able to come all the way down to your chest." I said, "really?", just a little sarcastically. I knew this guy was just trying to be nice but....


So, basically what you are saying is that people should listen to your stupid advice because you are a weighlifting god, but you shouldn't have to listen to their advice. I think when you were in prison you got hit in the head with to many burritos. I hope all the counseling you have gotten lately has stopped you from your bestiality cravings.

Not what I was saying at all, smartypants.

People who bench 275 shouldn't give adive to people that bench over 500.

It would kill me not to be able to lift heavy. I feel your pain.

I guess it's been a little over 2 years since I broke it. I can now lift my arm over my head, still get tight and hurts at the top. What makes me mad is the little things that make it hurt, if I sleep on it wrong I can't pick it up the next day.

This morning I hurt it again doing squats! Go figure right? Working out my legs and had to take it easy because of my shoulder. to get my arm back like that to grab the bar is not easy. Have to grab it with my bad arm first then turn to rack it around and get into position.

My shoulder bothers me time to time from doing squats, it just feels uncomfortable to keep your arms (Shoulders) in that "T" position while hitting the squat.

Where do you train at?

I bought a bar called a Safety Squat Bar for Pro Fitness in Wildewood. This bar is designed so you don't have to crank your shoulders back to grab the bar. Every used one?

Yeah this morning was my first time trying it again. I tried a few months back and it hurt too bad so I stopped so I didn't re-break my arm again. It hurt and I only had like 135 on there.

I go to a new gym called anytime fitness. It's a 24 hour gym in Clinton, hit it on my way to work. I just started going there in December.

Never heard of that kind of bar, I'll have to look into that

I will say this, I have been to the gym with guys who can lift a butt ton of weight, but when it comes to working on a farm, splitting wood, dragging a dear out of the woods, hitting a softball, I have made them look like 3 yr olds...It doesn;t matter how gym strong you are...COUNTRY strong is where its at

"COUNTRY strong" Paul Bunyan?

I've seen plenty of dudes lifting some heavy weight, maybe a handful that actually do it correctly.

The only thing you have that's 500 pounds is your mom.

Fat boy sounds like one of those chumps that slams the bar onto his chest and uses it to catapult all the weight back up.
