Sempre Fi!

Even with training hard this summer, I've managed to come back from a pretty bad case of elbow tendonitis/ tennis elbow. I'd say the biggest things that helped were taking time off in the beginning to allow healing, DAILY stretching, supplementing with cissus quadrangularis and other joint...

Well, been about a month and a half and I'd say I'm just about back to full strength. Highly recommend daily stretches and and anti-inflammation supplement (but not NSAIDs) like Elbow Revive. Good luck to anyone plagued with a recurring tendonitis issue, and hopefully this helps!

Anyone? specific stretches or exercises? as a side note, the Elbow Revive seems to be working. been taking it for the past few weeks along with cleaning up my diet (cutting out refined sugars) to reduce any inflammation. feel exponentially better! still would like input on strectches...

Eating clean already. Any specific stretches?

So after about two years of battling elbow tendonitis in both arms, I'm finally almost back to where I was before the initial onset of the injury. Best things I've done for it was taking off 4 weeks from bi and tri work, stretches (forearm and wrist flexion and eccentric exercises), and...

This sounds like a horrible idea.

1-1.5 g protein per lbs. of bodyweight is safe, depending on training. need more info. remember, a surplus in any macro (whether it's carbs, protein, or fat) can result in storage as adipose tissue (body fat), especially without adequate training.

Damn, dude! That sucks. flip flops? no remorse. that's why i always bring my own lock!

since it's started to warm up recently I've been smashing one of these salads every day. salad, red onions, bacon, chicken breast, pepper, italian seasoning, bell peppers, tiny bit of bleu cheese, and half an avocado. for dressing mix a little bit of garlic coconut oil, MCT oil, and balsamic...

ZMA helped a ton with my insomnia. Also, I make sure that I don't train after 6 pm or so or else I have a hard time falling asleep. Not taking ZMA any more, but supp with individual zinc and magnesium (so basically ZMA but without the B vit). gives the same effect to help fall and stay...

i had it several times as a wrestler. a good way to prevent it is Defense soap (it has antifungal properties). if you already have it, there's Lotramin and other over the counter stuff, but it's worth to just go to the doc and get the prescription ointment. it kills it and it's gone in a...

I might be behind the game on this, but I just discovered how awesome a resouce mobility wod is. tons of useful stuff on their about stretching and increasing mobility. even though i think kelly starrett is mostly crossfit oriented, he's an extremely knowledgable physio and his stuff is...

I'd say that one enough is pretty good. Kefir is better than, say, Greek yogurt. Also Kombucha is a great way to get probiotics and keep the gut biome healthy.
