Cutie's Fall '05 training

[Puddles]

I know you're gonna be careful!

Aside from a 3 month rest, what else have you been doing or tried that's helped? When you took 3 months off, did it seem to help much?

I know when I've taken time off it helps but not as much as I'd like. Then I get frustrated from not training and it's a mindfuck.

Also, have you noticed your symptoms to change based on monthly hormones? I'm in the worst pain about a week before my period. My massage therapist is the one who pointed out the monthly coincidence and she said that's common.

I think the free weights were aggravating my shoulder issue...so using machines again...I'm lucky my new gym has a really vast selection of machines....and staying away from what I"m supposed to so far so good....

only time will tell...no I don't notice any difference before my period other then people who fuck around w/ me end up paying a worse price that particular week then if they had fucked w/ me on a different week...and I retain some water

Interesting. My husband says like you, machines are better for him when training around certain problems he's got whereas I find myself having more problems with the machines. I thought maybe it's because of my height that the ROM on machines screws me up, particularly with anything that uses my arms, I get all kinds of cracking/grinding in my shoulder on machines, rarely get that with weights. I'm almost 5'3", how tall are ya, Cutie?

I'm 5'5" and you probably are not positioning yourself properly....the machines take the stress off of your joints and connective tissues.....

Your seat shoudl prob be set to a 1...I usually set mine to a 2.....try adjusting the seat postioning...or try a different version of the same machine...if your gym has it available
