As for how I strained/injured my wrist, it happened during deadlifts. I'm not sure how since I check my grip before my first rep, but that's when I felt the pain. I massaged it, and all that...it seems better now, but some pain still lingers.

As for PT...that's over. My insurance decides to announce that they don't pay full price for PT visits till after I rack up a $600 bill. Only way I can keep going is if I pay $70 per visit, that's dead.

I'll just start slowly training shoulders/chest again. I'll add 1 new exercise per week till I'm back to where I was.

I'm taking the next 2 months to reintroduce movements, then I'm planning to do a 4-6 day lifting split in August. Not sure of which I want yet.

If Physical Therapy didn't help in that timeframe, I'd suggest you try another treatment modality. Massage or Active Release Technique is a good option. If you can't afford it right now, do Self Myofascial Release with a lacrosse ball.

Continue to train movements that don't bother the injury and focus on shoulder stabilization work.

Also, about your new injury. It depends on the nature of the injury. Get a diagnosis and work from there. What type of grip were you using in the deadlift (hook, mixed, double overhand)?
I have said it in the past, grip and forearm training is essential for optimal physical preparation. If you can't hold onto something safely, you can't lift it safely. Straps are not a solution, they're a bandage. I would encourage you to focus on this area after your injury heals. A good starting point is "Mastery of Hand Strength" by John Brookfield.

most of my knee pain comes from arthritis (mostly in my left knee). the rest of the discomfort when going deep just comes from many years of inactivity and severe inflexibility. i've seen people raise their heels on weights and i'll try it with very light weight and if it hurts me more, i'll stop it immediately. if it seems to help, i'll probably invest in some lifting shoes. out of all my fitness goals for the year, probably my highest priority is getting my squats nice and low and progressively upping the weight. most of the guys at my gym that even do squats, do em with horrible ROM. thanks for all your input guys.

I would suggest you do mobility work focusing on the hips (especially hip flexors) and ankles. SMR/soft tissue work in the legs can also help increase Range of Motion. Use effective stretching methods such as PNF stretching and active movement in the new ROM to create lasting gains in mobility at the hip and ankle joints.

I'd also encourage you to sit in a deep (unloaded) squat for atleast 10 minutes throughout the day. Spending more time in the position will make it more comfortable for you. Do it whenever you want, while waiting for the bus/train, reading, watching tv, etc.

My shoulder has improved, but it's not 100%. I plan to get a lacrosse ball this weekend. I'm still doing the exercises they suggested to me in PT along with my workouts, but I included military presses today. My shoulder didn't hurt.

As for DLs, it was a mixed grip. I don't understand how it happened at 245 when I regularly deadlift 275-315. I've been massaging, and stretching it. Pain has subsided a bit, but it's still lingering.

Has anyone tried the adonis golden ratio system?

It costs like $50? Garbage, just do exercises that work it and work on your V taper get the full effect. I've also heard that genetics plays a big role with your adonis belt. Take someone like me, I know for mine to come in fully I will have to get to 10% or below body fat, while other dudes can be at 15+ and have theirs be noticeable.

I've heard good things about it, it also has good info on what exercises will potentially hurt you more than help you. Do you have exercise routines that will provide results similar to these?
 
Thanks guys for the positive words. And I didn't even notice dude in the back haha. I wanted to get that lift in because I'm starting my cut on Sunday. Gonna miss my bulk diet Lol follow me on instgram my fellow liftes. Going to be a crazy 5 weeks instagram/123_kidd
 
I love watching random gym vids on Youtube. Is anyone here as loud as this guy?

 
Currently battling some seasonal allergies, not as bad though as I am able to workout fine.

I want to designate some time to sitting in the suana to relieve my stuffy nose. Question is, do you suggest I do it before my workout/after my workout/ or both?

Did bi's and back yesterday. What do you guys do for bi's and back day.

I always feel like i don't have enough time...yesterday

15mins cardio warm up
seated curls
single arm dumbell row
bent over bar bell row (superset with light weight curls)
Over-head dumbbell lat pull over
Machine Lat pull downs

finish up with some sort of concentration curl, incline curls, or preacher curls, or just single arm curls, usually lighter weight.

So all of that took me 1.5 hours....and i wanted to get some heavier bar bell curls in...and didn't even get to that.
Shoulders/traps and some light chest today
Click to expand...

On the real, I don't really hit Bi's directly anymore.

Weighted Chinups
BB Bentover row with underhand grip.
 
I finally started hitting the gym again and had been going for 6 weeks consistently (was 2 weeks into the 6 weeks to super hero program) and I hurt my shoulder/tricep area. I've had this lingering pain in the area for quite some time but it just came and went so I didn't think much of it. It's hurting a bit more so I'm taking the week off and going to see a doctor on Friday. Don't think anything is seriously wrong but just want to make sure.

Sucks though because I was feeling so damn good the past 6 weeks. :{

I don't get what you're even saying.

When does it make sense to scream? Dude was probably hyped he performed the rep, hence the screaming at the top.
 
Can't wait to be serious at the gym once again this summer. It's been tough putting in time of for a workout and eating right because I just don't have the time as a student (Double Engineering Major FTL). I'm probably sitting around 165 right now . I'm trying to get to a solid 175 with a clean bulk by the ends of the summer and do a quick two week cut to shed any excess fat

i heard you should scream will pushing or pulling on a rep because a lot of people hold their breath while performing and its better to get that oxygen flowing correctly during a rep

when you scream, you naturally exhale so it makes sense to scream, but not at the top, its pointless because he already held his breath through the push

please explain these to me in simpler terms: "SMR/soft tissue work in the legs" and "Use effective stretching methods such as PNF stretching and active movement in the new ROM to create lasting gains in mobility "

i tried using 2.5# plates to elevate my heels and it felt a little strange - didn't hurt though. i wasn't using my knee wraps either. i was supposed to be spending a portion of time at the end or during each workout just hanging out down in the squat position but have not been consistent at all. will start doing that as well as during work at my comp (i have my own office).

two things are problems for me right now:
1) i'm getting better at being able to lower myself into and pause comfortably in the squat position but the hard part is initiating the movement back upwards. i think i'm relying too much on upward leg drive and not utilizing my hips or anything else for that matter. it doesn't help that my quads are pretty weak. any special cues or tips on what to visualize or do to start the upward movement?
2) knees don't feel too bad with the wraps. the most discomfort for me now is on the inside of my thighs kinda high up towards my groin. i'm guessing i need to stretch that out more.

doing good squats is becoming kind of an obsession now. i guess it's good to work on my weakest points so i can become a more well-rounded lifter.

suggestions?
