Devlis: that grinding/clicking/popping make well be tendons crossing over one another. Before I tore my left shoulder I used to be able to make mine 'clunk' (loud enough to hear) by having the palm of my left hand on my neck and my elbow up as high and then moving my elbow across my body and then back the other way. Pritty sure this was my humerus grinding in the joint.

Another worse case scenario. You both have you arm amputated ;)

Baha....awesome...Yep mines very loud! Easily audible sadly

Going to the docs this evening, specifically to ask for a refferal, as it got bad earlier in the week again, and i don't want to damage it training, so i want to see someone who knows about the injuries and give me a yes or no
 
Thanks for the advice guys! I knew it was too good to be true. No injuries and being able to press my BW without pushing from my legs. Ah well :(

Yours does it too?

Might be some stretched ligaments or just some slackened muscles. Bare in mind I might be talking out of my arse so take everything I say with a pinch of salt.

Once it stops hurting deffinatley try some TGU's or even just holding the arm directly up with some weight in your hand. DB/KB windmills are also similar to this but have a small ROM to them too as you bend down. It's a core/ab exercise but if you youtube it you'll see what I mean.

Not sure what the TGU's are, but i'll google them :)

Turkish Get Ups.

Can you do chinups/pullups? I could do them without problems whilst I had this pain, will see if that's still the case but I felt that definitely helped.

Think of all the curling queens you could shoot! :eek:
 
Just want to say thank you Benny and that French chap for the home made oat, fruit, protein smoothie inspiration. It's helped a lot, I can take them around with me and generally feel less worn out when I'm working long shifts. I also feel less bloated, too.

Managed to put another half a stone on.

Frozen or fresh blueberries
Frozen or fresh raspberries / or fruits of the forrest

Lots of each! Lol!

1/2 tub yoghurt.
1 apple
1 banana
A good Handful of each berries
A good covering of cinnamon
Add milk to get consistency you want b
Similar with oats but always start off with a good handful.

Just play with the measures. Too thick add more
Milk, too thin add more oats and yoghurt. :)
 
Ack! Embarrassed myself by pulling my lower back while picking up two 37.5kg dumbells off the rack! I leaned over to do it, not really thinking about the mechanics of picking up my bodyweight in dumbells.

Just a minor pull and hopefully will be better in a few days, but I guess that means no deadlifts tomorrow :(
