WOW! That's phenomenal. I feel like a wimp now! I've got lower back issues and knee probs., not to mention rotor cuff pain as well. I can't do squat like I use too!

How were you able to work thru such injuries in so little of time, if ya don't mind me asking?

let's just say a little bit of "home remedy"....but i will be honest..i do no chest excercises at all..everything else is fine..chest..forget it..i tried but the pain and compensation from other muscle groups was too much, not to mention my worsening depression.
my mentality is i was taught a lesson from a higher power..which i believe 100%..and my choice to accept and move on or lie down and die...
i don't compete..just an old man trying to keep the rust off and keep my kids from kicking my ass....i am an ex boxer and still able to work the heavy bag and feel an incredible chest workout from throwing..., but as i said when i see these people on the bench acting all that and some..it brings a tear to my eye about the days of being strong..now i will cry..

Ahhhh! I feel your pain, o old one. I don't know if I'm as old as you (in my 40's), but I feel 90 most of the time. I myself begin lifting in my early teens (13). Right out the box I was a power lifter. Made tremendous gains in strength. I know how you feel not being able to power it up any mo.

Maybe you can shoot me a PM on the home remedy, I'm on pain meds now, but they still don't take it away enough to lift for squat.


P.S.

I'm fortunate on the kid thing. I have all girls (3). However, I do worry about one, she appears to be a potential AMAZON!
