I go for my 2nd injection today. My second mri showed narrowing at the c5-c7. With EXTREME arthritis. All caps because that’s the emphasis the nurse put on it. So, it appears my training will look drastically different. Not sure where I go with this. Legs will be fine, I can get a belt squat, and with leg ex, leg curls, and reverse hypers, I can build. As for chest, I’m lost. Benching was my thing.

Visited Dr today. He ordered another MRI. With my pec and Tricep weakness, he thinks it’s more c6/c7. An example as to how weak I am, I can’t do 1 dip, I struggle with 135lbs on bench.

You can’t believe only 6 soldiers have died in the war due to a rocket hitting a US base in Kuwait could you?

I said nothing about that. I stated my IG algorithm was telling me we are LOSING this war

No, he gave me cyclobenzaprine before the procedure. 2 weeks worth.

Thanks! I just ordered it. Hopefully that provides some relief because I was in so much pain earlier that I left in the middle of church service.

Of all the times I’ve seen that video, I never noticed the single folder on seat of the van

He trains year round with the football team and goes to a trainer for 2 lifting days and 2 speed days. He hit his goals on the max week to restart the block. So, he’s doing well

, I got one at C5/C6 two weeks ago

I have my 2nd one for C6 on friday. I can't wait and hopefully it helps like the last time. Pain/numbness free for 18 months was nice.

I have not pinpointed what causes it. You mention your trap putting pressure on the nerve, I'm going to look into that.

ETA: do you still barbell squat? I've stopped before, used SSB, etc with no relief. I've asked a PT and he said only stop an exercise if it hurts. Only flat bench hurts and that's if I'm just lying flat, like a legs up variation. Proper bench setup doesn't hurt.

I despise people who litter. Mainly because it takes the same effort to litter as it does to throw it in a trash can. You pick it up and drop it. You are a POS if you throw it out the window.

That being said, a lot of it is flying out of garbage trucks. If you don't bag all your trash, it will end up on the roadside. Especially if your garbage service uses the rear compactor.

If it's a sweet tooth craving, zero sugar cheesecake jello mixed with skim fairlife. I haven't tried it with a little vanilla protein powder mixed to see if it will still become "jello"
