that's like Reno 911 "I'd take a bullet for my partner.But I don't take shit from my partner."

Very few people here are into powerlifting. Check out elitefitness.com. There's a forum dedicated just to powerlifting. You might find more relevant information there.

Currently, my max bench is about zero, I can't deadlift either and squating is out of the question.

Injuries suck.

I remember reading something about you having a shoulder problem, but I didn't realize the severity of the injury. Here's to a speedy recovery!

Good luck with that TP I didn't realize how dangerous a rotator cuff injury can be until I did some damage to mine. Nothing major but I have been taking some time off lately and I have been seeing a chiropractor who does Active Release Technique as well. I am probably going to start lifting again next week. I hope no surgery for me

Thanks. I have heard good things about ART.

Unfortunately, I tore mine about as bad as you can tear it.

Exactly why I do not do them.

TP do you ever do specific exercises for your rotator cuffs? It's a common mistake among lifters/bodybuilders to neglect them. I also learned the hard way, but luckily I did not injur them bad enough that surgery was necessary.

Same here...learned the hard way. Now I do rotator exercises weekly just like anything else.



Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

No, I never did. I do now, and will always in the future.

I have to admit I have only been doing rotator work sporadically, for shame. I think its easy to hit a set or two after your delt workout.

Crap, is that to say we are nearly all going to suffer that? That is why there are certain compounds I would never touch. Are you going to take anything for this, glucosamine chondroitin or something?

I have been taking very high doses of glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, ALCAR, Carnosine, and Leptigen (which contains many beneficial ingredients for this purpose.

I have been using FlexAnew witch has glucosamine, chondroitin & MSM. Its a fairly inexpensive product and after my rotator cuff scare I find it something I don't want to cheap out on. My injury came while doing a DB chest press, not even a max rep.

My last two deadlift workouts were 405 for 5x5 and 415 for 6x3. The highest I ever hit was 465, but that was 7-8 years ago and I only got it one time. I haven't been able to exceed 445 in recent years.
