Love the rant this guy goes on. Funny, I was watching some of the CrossFit program on Netflix and it irked me no end in less than 10 minutes.
- they call the people who win their competition the ‘fittest in the world’. Yes, really!
- they claim performance enhancing drugs are rare in CrossFit because friends training with friends wouldn’t cheat against each other due to the community aspect, even though nearly all of the top crossfitters are said to train on their own.
- the ‘fittest guy in the world’ looks like he has been juicing all his life
- those ‘pull ups’. Geez.
Not a fan
Anyone here struggled with golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis)? If so, how did you deal with it apart from rest, ice, etc?
About 6 weeks ago I got a bit carried away with pull ups. Two days later I had a twinge in my elbow which over the following few weeks got worse. It's now at the point where I can't hold a bag of shopping without pain and even pushing down on a bread knife to cut a sandwich hurts quite a bit. I just wrongly assumed it was a strain that would heal itself.
I spent a few hours online last night self diagnosing "tut tut". I'm 99% certain it's golfers elbow due to the specific location and the way the pain flares up when my wrist is moved certain ways.
I've ordered one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000KGOMBC/ as a bunch of videos I saw recommended a daily regime of light exercise to deal with the problem, not sure it it'll work but for £20 it's worth a try.
Finally for anyone who asks why I haven't been to my doctors yet, it's simply because I got fobbed off over 3 appointments for near crippling upper back pain with hundreds of paracetamol tablet prescriptions a few years back. I did get both a 2nd and 3rd opinion but I was just given ways to handle the pain rather than the cause.
Just checked my body fat percentage. Now sitting at 11.0% I was pretty surprised considering my cutting hasn't been great over the last 6 weeks or so due to lots of nights out drinking and missing sessions. Still aiming for 10%!
