I've been using creatine now for 3 weeks, and I have definitely found it to be benificial.

Seems to help me during my session with fatigue as well as post workout recovery. Areas where I am naturaly poor, so the creatine is given me a nice boost.

In the process I am now pressing and incline pressing a weight I couldnt 3 weeks ago.

Helped with fatigue and recovery?

Not creatine.

This is quite similar to the Paul Wright method, shoulders hurt doing OHP, just bash the weight off your head!

I trained him well.

Infact by the time you can regularly do 40kg dips you should switch to ring dips and build up again.

Why?

Makes the gym bunnies wetter than Niagara falls?

We do have rings at my gym actually.

Running out of room between my legs for plates

Doesn't sound like creatine to me, sounds like celltech hardcore.

So he doesn't have to upgrade the chain, and the fact that we all mire weighted ring dips so much more then weighted dips, especially when carried out by topless French men.

Whatever it has done has been beneficial. Lets that put it that way.

We have a very odd gym member for the last couple months. He makes train or hydraulic shrooshing sounds. he will do it when hes walking around the gym and then goes into overdrive when hes exercising. I was concerned for him at one point when he started shrugging as he was making the shrooshing noises very fast, I thought he would pass out.
The worst part is as god as my witness he does it in the shower, I just walked out.

LiE · 19 Oct 2013 at 08:47

That's probably because he's 'exercising' in the shower...

What a Tommy Tanker.

Anyone know how to prevent shoulder pains when doing dips?
It was just one shoulder but annoying, or is it just a waiting game for it too heal?

a) don't do dips?
b) do ring dips and keep you shoulder in the 'correct' position;
c) make sure you have good shoulder rotation (inward and outward);
d) make sure you are keeping your scapulae pinched to keep the shoulder in the correct position;

From a pathology perspective, go see a doctor.

iamtheoneneo · 23 Oct 2013 at 09:50

A) I like dips, bar the cramping.
B) Not suitable at my gym as far as I know.
C) Could you explain this to me please?
D) As Above.

Thanks!

a) Congratulations. Some people like SnM, too.

b) That's a shame. Change gym.
c) You probably have very tight and immobile shoulders because your back is used to flexing instead. Sort out your anterior/posterior deltoids, pectoralis major/minor, teres major/minor and lattisimus dorsi. Whilst you're at it, stretch your triceps, too.
d) Before you lift anything, you should be giving yourself a big chest (oo-err) and pinching your shoulders together. The same applies to dips.
