Injuries

I am sick of training with sholder problems...tendonitis etc...anyone know the key to staying injury free...my shoulder and knees are fucking killing me

streching your muscles before and after you work out should help out. But as for the key to staying "injury free", hell, if anyone has an answer to this please let me know, too!

I have a nagging back and on going tendonitis.But i think alot of mine is my age..

Rick, you're not old!

LOL...yes i am

I hurt my shoulder a while back on barbell bench press. In a injury like this i would suggest taking it easy for a bit. Try switching to dumbells or laying off the exercises that hurt you. Anti-inflammatory meds also help relieve the pain.

i stay away from barbells and have been using Hammer Strength and Icarian equiptment. That feels ok but still painful to the shoulder until warmed up. Otherwise all I do is put on the head phones and ask myself...Are u gonna be a pussy or are u gonna kick some ass next April when u are onstage...that usually gets me going. I think I might try some Deca and stop the D Bol for now...Deca lubs up my joints pretty well...

I always hear people say this but its just to cover up the actual pain. Its not helping the injury at all. The water weight of any anabolic will hide the pain until you get off but the injury will continue to be there. Try some anit-inflammatory meds and stay away from the stuff that hurts that shoulder. oh, i dont mean to be blunt, just trying to help .

no harm done impresiv....I have only used deca once and I felt great...it coulda all been in my head too...

Well, if anybody knows that, it should be me............but I'm currently training with a very jacked up (and slightly swollen) right knee, a very sore left knee, a back that locks up every time I try and run, and shoulders that pop every time I move my arms basically.

Pretty much the only advice I can give would be to strengthen the area; not necessarily the muscle group you're targeting on a given day, i.e. shoulders, but to strengthen the stabilizing muscles of the joint. For instance, on a shoulder you need to work on ROM and strengthening the S.I.T.S. in the rotator cuff.
Also, a little chondroitin sulfate or GSM wouldn't hurt. They both help with joint pain.
