A one year Journey to the 5's

@mghoward74 any luck locating those YouTube videos?

Been doing the stretch & golf ball massage, little confused about the last one.

Thanks
 
Lol

I do it everyday. I also figured a way to do it with a broom stick.

I tried to do this at my gym this morning, standing up not lying down, and that shit ain't happening!!



I'm going to keep working on it. Left shoulder is the problem, major impingement.

I'm amazed you can do that & bench over 450lbs!!:cool:

Holy shit, I can get about a third of that motion, and feels like someone jabbing knives in my shoulders.
 
Spread your arms as wide as you can go, then try it again. If you still can't do it, just go as far as you can and then come back over.

Do it standing up 1st, then do it lying down.

Also, massage the bad shoulder with the golf ball first.... (loosen up the muscle)

Did you do it yet? Once you do, you'll see instant results
I'm pretty sure that's how I got my labral tears last year, or it at least made existing tears a lot worse. I've started doing them again recently, but with a band. It's a little more forgiving than the PVC I used to use. I also do them a lot slower than in the video to avoid momentum pushing through when I get too optimistic with the grip width.
 
Wow, that shoulder mobility video is something. I don't know if should run to it or from it!

Alright, this one is simple and good for post workout when you are beat. Take a long foam swimming tube, like a child would use, and place it under your spine while laying on your back. Allow gravity to pull your shoulders toward the floor. This helps with posture as well. Give it 10 minutes when you don't want to move. The foam floating tube is cheap, it's effortless and your body will feel better.

Yo...where's mgh?

Ahahah.....I'm here fellas! Update! My shoulder is about 95-98%. I've noticed when I simulate upright rows, my right (bad) shoulder goes up first. I researched frozen shoulder treatment and found away to remedy this problem.

I've also switched from a golf ball to a baseball for shoulder massaging. The baseball is outstanding! You guys really need to try using it. It'll help on both front & rear shoulder issues.

I'm feeling awesome right now. I've changed my diet, to included around 1700 calories of healthy fats. Protien intake is decent, while consuming little to no carbs at all.

I have tons of energy in the gym....almost like I'm on gear! I'm only on creatine & beta alanine right now along with BCAA.

ALSO...cardio is going up too. I'm at 35 minutes of the stairmaster everyday

Today is chest day. Looking to start at around 65% of 425 lbs and go from there. I'll see how I feel when I enter the gym today. I forgot it's world wide chest day today, so I know the douchebaggery will be in full effect mode.

Ive been having shoulder issues myself bro. I Dont know wtf is wrong with it but its not right an it pisses me off since I cant bench without it bothering me for days up to a week afterwords. Glad to hear you are feeling better. Maybe I need to try everything you have been doing to self heal. Keep up the hard work brother;):)
