EPTOn another note, Anyone had elbow pains when doing lowbar squats? It was kind of weird. while squatting, I feel nothing, but after I'm done they feel so sore that I just have to drop them down, and it even interferred with my benching. The next time it wasn't bad because I adjusted my posture a little bit and I didn't feel bad afterwards. Weird stuff.

I weigh 140 lbs (give or take) and wanted to start adding weights to my pullups. I'm going to assume since grown men can use it, it can support up to at least 180 lbs, but just wanted to see if anyone knew. | ||

I'm sure the bar could support me, but not so confident in my walls/door frame... | ||

But it completely depends on the door frame tbh, given that you're in another country it could be different. | ||

I weigh 215lbs and use a basic Iron Gym pull up bar my brother and I bought at some local place. I plan to upgrade to a better pull up bar, but even the one I use holds me up fine and my door frame is average at best. The house I live in is somewhat old. When I was able to lift I was using the pull up bar multiple times daily with no problems at all. | ||

I have no symptoms at all except temperature - it alternates from a fever to completely normal about every half hour to an hour. Other than that, I have no appetite. Shit to do this weekend, including going to the gym =( | ||

This results in some jolting to my wrists, and I get some sharp pains afterwards doing things like gripping a plate between my fingers or doing weighted dips. While I work on improving my form to eliminate the cause entirely, is there anything other than ice I can do to help my wrists recover faster? Ice will make the pain go away, but it won't actually help you recover. Be careful about using it too often. as far as your bad habit, get those elbows up/through faster and the weight will have to fall on your shoulders. | ||

this will also help your bench press (my wrists get fucked in bench sometimes too if i dont stretch them) you also need to warm up very carefully during cleans. i warmed up a bit too fast (not that fast at all) a few weeks ago , jarred the shit out of my wrist, and had to stop after 3 set reps wondering whether i'd fractured something to make them recover just avoid doing what fucked them up :/ if they really hurt next clean session then you'll have to skip it, but after a solid bit of static stretching & warmup you should be fine also make sure you're not looking down when you make the lift; getting my head up and back the other day really helped me | ||

Something about winter and/or allergy season makes my body go nuts, I've had to stop doing TKD or any significant exercise, and I'm losing a little weight. No flare from the crohn's, but add any physical stress, and I start trying to leak a bit, and I can literally feel my intestines twitching from the outside. | ||

Nerve glide exercises can help with wrist pain and nerve alignment, so I'd recommend those to anyone working with touchy wrists. Even though the article says these are for carpal tunnel, check out the exercises described here.. | ||

I've never had a problem with being able to get a good rack position in my cleans. I never had much problem getting full depth on squats though, either. I wouldn't consider myself to be very flexible, but I've never really had a severe problem with mobility. | ||

The size of your hands and wrist circumference play an integral role in determining the necessity of additional wrist work. I have to keep an eye on my wrists at all times and have tailored my routine to work around the fact that while I may be 6'2 245 lbs, my wrists are just under 6' around and my hands are quite small. | ||

But, it's only spiking to 103ish, I feel great otherwise, and I'm lucid and asymptomatic, so I don't much care. Doctors have called me too mean to die, so unless I start hallucinating, I ignore it. If I do start hallucinating, I'll just stick a cool rag on my head and see who of my mom and wife could get me to a doctor faster. I think I'm just successfully fighting off whatever's been bugging my son anyways. | ||

It doesn't feel like muscle pain. It's either in the joint, or on the tendon. The pain literally comes from right across the point of my shoulder. I sometimes feel it when I bench. It's pretty noticeable when I do things like OHP, and yesterday I was completely incapable of doing lateral raises because of it. Zero pain doing a front raise or a machine OHP, but significant pain on barbell OHP and any kind of lateral raise. Even if I just stand still and do the chicken dance I can feel the tension on my shoulder. It's much more prominent in my right shoulder, and I've had it for a while... Always thought it was just a baseball injury, or the result of years of throwing. But yesterday I felt it in my left shoulder as well. Any ideas? Starting to think it might be time to go see a doctor. | ||

Also, are your arms close to straight, slightly bent, or bent during the lateral raise? It's there as soon as I put a load on it. Little more intense through the middle of the motion and eases up substantially at the top. Straight arms. | ||
