Thanks Michael.
Yeah I am trying not to bugger it up... shoulder injuries always take so long to heal so it seems, I can live without that.

My left shoulder goes through phases of glitchiness! lol One of my shoulders looks more rotated forward than the other, not sure if that's from the scoliosis, it's not really a pain thing, it just sort of niggles (whatever the fuck that means

) and sometimes feels like it wants to rotate back to far.

I think you need to add a dictionary section to your journal girlie

I didn't know you had scoliosis, what is it?

**Rocco32** · 02-23-2005, 07:58 AM

Morning Kerry

how's today treating you?

Jeni- Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine.

**Velvet** · 02-23-2005, 07:59 AM

Is one born with it? Does it worsen?

Yeah, your usually born with it and sometimes it worsens, sometimes it doesn't. I have scoliosis as well and it's pretty noticable. But luckily it doesn't seem to have worsened much in the past 10 years.

**Velvet** · 02-23-2005, 08:20 AM

where is your curve, lower spine or upper? It's genetic? Sorry for the questions but I don't know anyone with the condition so I know diddly squat about it

**Rocco32** · 02-23-2005, 08:23 AM

Mine starts about the middle of the back and travels up. I believe it's genetic but don't quote me on that. It makes posing hard as crap LOL. I have noticed when I was getting my back tats done that the left side of my back is more developed than my right due to the scoliosis. You know not to worry about the questions, I'll answer what I can

**naturaltan** · 02-23-2005, 08:36 AM

Morning Mrs. Brit

Yep, David has pretty much described exactly my condition too.
I only discovered it last year and that was only because I noticed how asymmetrical my shoulders were when I posed.
I now believe that scoliosis was the reason for severe ongoing neck pain and headaches that I have had since I was a teenager, no doctor ever found a cause for it and I was basically resigned to the fact that this was just something I had to deal with.
Anyway I saw a chiro to see if he could 'straighten' me out for posing purposes. He discovered the scoliosis and I now see him monthly for adjustments... since I started seeing him I am virtually pain free!
I thought he also had done a lot for my symmetry but it actually appears better right after an adjustment and sort of goes back to being completely off within the week, very frustrating when it comes to posing as David said.
The right side of my back is also way more developed than my left.
My scoliosis starts in the middle of my spine also.
I believe it is genetic, once I discovered it and noticed the difference in my shoulders I remembered my mum had the same thing exactly, she thought it was due to something else though and was never diagnosed as having it though I am sure now that she had the same thing.

Oh and good morning Jeni, David and NT.

Oh just wait. Mine are 13 and 16 you'll get much more senile around then. From what I hear you'll become much smarter when they reach and mid twenties

Beautiful day here in BC too.

It's a pleasure to have you here.

What's the high temp for today NT? It's meant to get to 12 degrees here today.

**naturaltan** · 02-24-2005, 09:45 AM

it's always a pleasure to see you smiling face (among other pics I look at on your website)

Someone mentioned 9 above ... we've had a very very mild February ... makes me nervous what we'll get in March.

Awww... thanks NT.

I guess they are now calling for 16 here today, that's unusually high but I'm not complaining.

**BritChick** · 02-24-2005, 12:11 PM

Legs (Hamstring Dominant):

SLDL 5/4/5/5/5 - 205/225

/215/215/205 - RI60
Hack Squat (3 Sec Pause) 12/12/12/12 - 110/120/120/120 - RI45
Seated Leg Curl 8/8/8 - #12/#12/#13 - RI30
Cable Hip Extensions 15/15/15 - #2/#2/#2 - Consecutive
Hack Squat - Calf Raises - 10/10/10/10/10 - 320/320/320/320/320 - RI30

I think what I am feeling right now must be a total endorphine high, I feel absolutely awesome and so damn happy with my workout!!!
I nearly didn't train today, there is something going on in and around my collarbone area, it feels like a pinched nerve and I have a swollen lump where the collar bone meets in the middle, Rod was getting all freaked out about it last night.
Anyhow, I was doubting my ability to be able to do SLDL's or leg exercises with the weight on my shoulders... but then I also realized I am a pmsing whiney bitch today and I was really just looking for an excuse to jam out of my workout so I decided to just go and give a shot.
I love having a good workout... I REALLY love having a good workout when I'm expecting a shitty one!!!
SLDL'S are up so much it's insane!
I also added 50lbs to my Hack Squat - Calf Raises... I guess last time I was just piddling about!

**P-funk** · 02-24-2005, 12:12 PM

**GoalGetter** · 02-24-2005, 12:16 PM

WOMAN! YOU ARE ON FIRE!!!! Phenomenal numbers there!

I know what you mean about having a great workout when you expect a shitty one. What an awesome feeling. Good for you!

It's exciting, I thought I was just about tapped out with my strength and all of a sudden stuff is skyrocketing.
