Sounds like a good move. Do you take MSM?

No, but good call. I've been doing a lot of searching around here. I think i'm going to pick up some glucosamine, chrondrotin and MSM. Hopefully, they're not too pricey b/c im low on da flow.

http://esj1.com/bonesandjoints_tripleflex.htm is what I use. MSM might really help. You could also get some Naproxen(active ingredient in Aleve). Its an anti inflamitory.

Those look sweet. Thx. All the goodies I need wrapped up in one. Are the dosages high enough for each thing though? Sometimes when they offer all-in-one products like that, they give you a little of each but not enough of any. I really dont know shit about dosages for that stuff.

The glucosamine and chondroiten is high enough.. but I dont know much about MSM dosage. You know that it will take about 4-6 weeks to kick in, right? Maybe I'll search up on MSM.

I buy Whole Foods brand mix of those 3 items. I don't have joint problems though, so it is merely for preventative mainenance. I figure it is better to help keep them in good shape as opposed to trying to recover from injuries later.

Nope. It's actually only the fourth or fifth time I have ever used it. I'm training one of my best friends, who is about 280, so it's easier for him to learn on. Although I find it is a little easier on my knees too.

I distinctly remeber reading that thread when it was first started. I re-read it though and now that I am more knowledgable, I understand it better. I avoided it for the longest time b/c it takes away from your natural plain of motion but now knowing and understanding everything else detrimental about it, I will never use it again.. except for shrugs. I only used that machine very sparingly, but even that is too much. Thx for the heads up Prem
