He did say "post PT"...so I'm assuming he's done with it now.

Originally posted by get nyce adjust the seat so the arm pad pivot points are level with your armpit (or just above) move the weight lower (or no weight at all) such that you are not swinging the pads. its meant to lift and target the outside shoulder area - part of the composition that makes up top of the Y shape of your outside arm. other 2 parts are tricep and bicep, outside shoulder caps both of them. if you still feel the clicking, where exactly is it. you can have it on the inside / parallel to your chest, the top portion where your traps are, and on the back side where your laterals meet your shoulder blade. you can substitute this exercise with free weights that will allow you to focus on form infront of the mirror. similar action, try using 5lbs dbells. the key to this is to not hunch over and swing the weight. a supplement to this exercise is straight arm lateral raise. with a straight arm, raise the dbells out infront of you eye level. again, don't swing and instead of hunching forward, make sure you aren't leaning backwards with the straight arm lateral raise. to modify your chicken wing exercise, do the lateral raise at your sides as if you are making a snow angel. if you are on a supplement kick and know of any issues regarding your joints, try taking a look into glucosamine, it helps reduce the swelling in your joints.

thanks for all that info i'll def do all that. the snapping is on the top in my traps like u said. i remember that happening when i was in my gym phase a few years ago too. my knees pop and snap when i bend them, my hip joints are slippery when i walk and my shoulder joints snap too, but only when doing those exercises.

One of my favorite things is that first glass of cold water after a hard workout. I drink it in like two seconds and then fill up another.

I drink a litre of water during my workout.

i get too full if i drink too much water. i do one cup of coffee in the morning and then about 2 decent sized cups of water throughout the day (with lunch) and then i bring a propel fitness to my workout.

they are capsules so you can pull them apart and pour the powder in a shake - that's what i do because i can't swallow huge pills

Originally posted by get nyce Sal, not sure how much PT promoted this but post surgery and earlier in on the PT schedule, you should try to incorporate resistence training, use the rubber band more then the weights and even if you've gone through a bunch of cycles to prime you for weight training, still toss in those plyo's and rubberband exercises between your weight lifting. It sounds as if you are back since you are running full time now, just remember a lot of weight training is not just plates and dumb bells, resistence/cables are completely different.

nah no rubber bands were incorporated during PT or suggested after it. my use of the BOSU might be the closest thing to resistance training.

plenty of stretching before and after though heh

Originally posted by chimera66 i got little arms too but they are decently strong...i don't think you need to do the military press with more than 10lbs. you need to get to 3 sets of 10 easily then move to 12.5lbs but you don't need to do more.

lol love how you show the pic of you sleeping in VIP, just to "awake" and put your arm up for a good tune.


kidnyce: I do this resistence-band boot-camp thing and its such a great workout. I love it because its an hour of aerobics AND works your muscles (with some decent music).


btw you guys have some great workouts....the weight training is making me feel lazy. Perhaps I am spending TOO much time on cardio, and not enough on weights? hmmmmm.........

^yes you need to do weights kelly. since you say you get muscle quickly go for light weights. cardio is good to a certain point but muscles eat up fat faster

as for the photo. yeah i've got little arms according to my father...he says i look weak

And then he threw the bills right in Trump's face/hair! Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.
