STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

Felt a little crunch in my upper back lower neck area while getting the bar up for bench.

When I tilt my head back there's some pain.

Anyone ever have that? It freaked me the hell out. Wonder if it's a pinched nerve? How long before it subsides, if anyone's had it before.

Really kinda scary. Just chillin in bed and took ibuprofen.
 
I did something similar a couple weeks ago benching, felt like a strained muscle. Just took ibuprofen and put a heating pad on it. Went away within a week.
 
Yeah figured. Week sounds right. Thanks mate.

Anything neck related is just kinda freaky to me. Never had anything like that happen. Always been pretty safe.
 
Ya'll think about it too much. Just go do it. I understand yall want an efficient workout and dont wanna waste time on "meaningless" workouts (bicep curls) but it makes me feel good doing them. I hit back today and then biceps for 15 min. I dont think about overtraining or if its a useless exercise, if I feel a muscle working then its fine by me.

Cheat day every Sunday no matter what... you're fine as long as you hit the gym and eat right consistently throughout the week
 
hit 495 for 6 today on back squat. Those last two..I had to dig deep.

rested for a bit, then did moderately heavy deads. 4 sets of 6 with 405.

both raw, no straps, no gloves, no knee pads, no belt, in nike frees 2.0. Felt good. Still had some in the tank, did some leg extensions, and some calves. productive day. legs wobbly af now, feeling like they wanna cramp when i turn em certain ways lol, lil *******.
 
Finally quit being a little b**** and scheduled my CSCS exam.  Also gonna get my USA Track & Field Level 1 cert (looks good on paper), trying to decide btwn the infamous FMS (functional movement screen) cert or the CES (corrective exercise specialist) cert. Also a nutrition cert, look at Precision Nutrition.  Then i'm done with certs unless a school will pay for me to take the SCCC.  Only ones I have right now are my USAW and the NSCA-CPT.

I know certs don't mean jack when u don't know what your doing but I have a master's, over a year of D1coaching experience and a former D1 athlete so i'm just trying to put together a nice resume.  Just need to get this violation expunged of my record (reason I had to leave my first D1 coaching job) and I should be good.

@Durden7  have u ever thought abt being a team SC? Thinking about exploring the private sector with this "time off" to decide if I like it better.

I'm not so sure how much bananas help with twitching though

*edit*'

Anyone dealt with tennis elbow or elbow discomfort? Have given myself the week off from lifting to see how it reacts.

tennis elbow sucks. make sure that's what you really have because it's different from actual joint pain. i've had it on both sides and both times i stubbornly kept trying to "work though it" and it got really bad. i took time off until the pain wasn't sharp anymore. i got this thing called a flexbar and did this exercise called the tyler twist. pretty sure you can just do stretches (arm out, fingers backwards and forwards) and wrist curls though. when i went back to lifting, i stuck to pushing movements and limited my pulls/curls until it felt comfortable. good luck man. took over a year for it to fully go away for me.
