Skip, definitely try the deep tissue…its not enjoyable at all, and the day after isn’t much better, but 48 hours , later you feel good…or maybe you just think you feel good because it stopped hurting!! either way , its helped me…

Perception is reality. Unless you’re on fire. Then is doesn’t much matter what you think.
I like that, thought, though. Like when you’ve been sick. Feeling normal feels so good, even if you had been griping about it before.
I need some deep tissue work, it hurts so good. I bet you’re feeling all brand new again.
GV, absolutely !

Peace to you OG. Best wishes on the 10-week grind to your meet. Glad to hear the insight on deep-tissue massage. I’ve been thinking of trying it for a while. You’ve confirmed my worst fear - that it’ll hurt like hell. haha! But it sounds like it may be worth it.

Thanks TSL ! the massage thing helps. Without it I was unable to externally rotate and abduct my shoulder enough to put a bar on my back. The only other piece of advice I would offer for consideration is do the massage the preceding an off day ( just so you can gauge how your body reacts to being politely pummeled) and drink tons of water between the massage and your next workout…Enjoy!

unexpectedly had the week off from lifting. My wife had emergency appendectomy surgery Monday night , we just got her home yesterday (helluva birthday present for her), so late nights, got home at 3AM Tuesday so a 4am lift seemed a bit unlikely ( hahaha) running back and forth to hospital, taking care of my dogs, jumping over to the office for an hour or two, back to hospital…etc etc…I lost 4 lbs, when you are 174…4 lbs is a lot…no appetite, tired, stressed, but back at it this morning! still about 8 weeks from the meet so no real damage. Our daughter came home from school last night o celebrate Mom being home on BDay…it was really nice.
drank a few beers ( that means a few tooooo many) last night…so all in all it was a good session.
Peace
Sorry to hear that, Paul. I hope that the recovery goes well and quickly!
Happy belated birthday to Mrs. Goat. Just don’t tell her that I called her Mrs. Goat.
A few days off isn’t going to hurt anything. It might even help.
Gosh, I hope all is going okay with your wife now!
Glad to hear you are back at it.
Hope your wife is feeling better OG.
Thanks Skip, Snap and Dave…the Evil Empress will return to Glory soon enough.

That is good to hear. And I suspect that the stubbornness runs in the family.
Properly focused, stubbornness can be a good thing.

You’re really starting to worry me with the constant complaints of pain following DTM.
I think that is a wife thing. My wife is the adult in the family. I am just the biggest kid. Except when it comes to her medical care. Then I have to ride her like she is five. Even though she knows better.
Skip- so true on the wife thing!

Had to DL today instead of tomorrow because in the morning I am heading out to western Mass to my daughters fall scrimmages…and then bringing her home to surprise Mom…that should help the healing process.

Everything going okay?
The goat pen has been conspicuously quiet.

Hey Skip, Thanks…finally I think we are out of the woods. My wife had a post op complication that required a 2nd procedure so we put her in Sat and got her back Tuesday…so lots of late nights, not much eating…lost the 3lbs I had gained back from her first stay.but back at it this AM.
