tea tree oil....put a bit of this on the area before you go, it has a slight anesthetic effect and take a few aspirin. It'll still hurt, but its not as bad. Have fun!

Hi Tommy--I'm a "crack" addict, so great! :D The ultrasound to see how you move would be like the thing they use on a pregnant woman's belly to see the baby...can't say I know any chiro's who do that,:hmmm: but not to say it isn't done. The ultrasound treatment is a deep heat method which a...

that combination would never occur to me to try...next no carb day is Friday, I'll try them both then.:thumb:

I started in the 6th grade (like 11/12 years old?) and I'm 6'2", but I was already 5'10" by that point.

oh, wasn't really paying attention! :D chicken and natty pb? might have to try that one!

Joey--on the low carb day, 3/6 meals have carbs; on no carb day 0/6....(if musclepump and I are doing the same thing). Its the Twin Peak Cutting link under Jodi's sticky....sorry, I'm computer illiterate so I don't know how to make a link here.

I actually just read a study this morning about 1RM strength testing in kids 6-12 years old (safe, according to the study). The National Strength and Conditioning Association is fully supportive of resistance training for kids. You can go to that website and read their position statement on...

Flex--biomechanical disadvantage. Our spines are really absolutely brilliant in their construction from a structural, functional, mechanical point of view... if your spine is abnormally curved it can predispose you to injury and/or back problems. That being said, go see a chiropractor. S/He...

wax...not the do it yourself stuff, get it done by a pro

Tommy--hey, sounds like you got worked over pretty good...ain't it great! How does your back feel? You're having an ultrasound (visualizing) for your scoliosis? or he's doing ultrasound (treatment) on your back?

Had a thought...I'll just do them one leg at a time on the leg press, that'll work. I'll do lunges too, just for fun! thanks guys!

So far, I love it...no carb day isn't even that bad. Scale and body fat % have both been moving downward :clap: but its only been 2 weeks...I'll give it a month before I make any real opinions...how about you?

I'm doing the same thing....today is no carb day so I had chicken for breakfast. I can only eat so many eggs in a week! :nanner:

Slim--I actually tried that but there is really no room (small gym) and would mean getting rid of a few of his precious machines...probably cause a riot around here. Thanks though!

Uh...no. :hmmm: I wish there were, I guess I could probably do front squats off the bench rack? would that be weird? I've never done those before.

Ok, here's the problem, I've maxed out the leg press machine at my gym (its only like 160) and I can't think of a reasonable alternative. There is no rack or smith and the db's only go up to 50's. (small town gym geared toward 50 y.o. women who use machines--I'm the only person there, m/f, who...

Flax oil is a problem if it gets rancid--don't heat it, store it in the fridge, the bottle it comes in should be dense dark colored plastic, it should be stored in the fridge at the store, not on the shelf. Beyond that, moderation is key to everything. Alternate days with flax oil and fish...

Probably not, we'll assume you were positioned right so your lumbar erectors should have been relaxed--lumbar erectors are those two mounds of muscle that run vertically alongside your spine, creating the "trench" between them. The stop at about the level of your belt. The pain is more likely...

Ok, honestly I'm not tryin' to call you out here or anything, but I remembered your other thread about asking chicks out. Is the best friend who's currently dating her the same one she was dating for a year and broke up with a few days ago, you assumed because of you? :hmmm: ...if it is, then...

Yup, your lumbar erectors should be relaxed so its a great test for the deeper muscles.:thumb:
