    Medically knowledgeable people - best plan of action for me??

    Just an update. I got this book: The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Clair Davies and started applying the trigger point stuff. It's worked really well however i was wondering if anyone also has any experience with chiropracters for situations such as mine. I was wondering if getting some safe...

    Medically knowledgeable people - best plan of action for me??

    Thanks for the quick reply Dave. So i should put pressure on the places that are tender on my hip? And does stretching the hip flexors and such help? I've found that after stretching them, it actually seems more painful/tender afterwards. It doesn't hurt during the movement though.

    Medically knowledgeable people - best plan of action for me??

    I get a really tight/strained type feel in my lower back that will turn into a sharp pain if i do a particular movement too much such as bending backwards too much or stuff like that. As i said i also seem to be getting a tingling feeling in my left glute mainly but spreading down my posterior...

    Medically knowledgeable people - best plan of action for me??

    I've already just got an MRI referral earlier this morning. It just depends whether i should get it. And in terms of physio is once a week really too infrequent to see benefits?

    Medically knowledgeable people - best plan of action for me??

    Ok so as you know i've been kept from lifting for nearing 3 months now thanks to my left leg injury. For the most part i'm pretty sure my adductor has healed and that it is no longer a muscle tear. However nearly a month ago i started having some left lower back which then spread to my glutes...

    ProRaw Powerlifting

    how about a decently built, burly dude overhead pressing a smoking hot chick? and then you can have the words ProRaw Powerlifting above them both or across the dude's chest or whatever. Doesn't have much to do with powerlifting but i'd think it'd be pretty cool

    Coconut Milk

    Can easily be turned to ice cream? Could this be a DIY operation at home? Ice cream over the summer sure sounds tempting.

    How to deload?

    ^ isn't what you describe deloading?? If you want another way to deload that is not strictly advocated by Rip, but John says it works well with his trainees check out this thread: Old guys: pre-, during and post-workout nutrition

    Good Massage Therapist in the Sydney Area

    Had to google it to find out where Padstow is. Pity it's all the way out in the bankstown-canterbury area. A bit of a trek for me. Anyone with anything in the CBD or along the northern line (near epping)?

    Good Massage Therapist in the Sydney Area

    I have a persisting injury (tightness/pain) in my left thigh and i was told by a few of the guys that a good, painful massage will help. I have no experience with massage therapists and i don't want to have some quack or someone who may possibly make it worse. Anyone know any good massage...

    Carb info

    Then why the heck are you calling it a carb loading phase. It's pretty easy to bulk. Just eat enough protein and eat more calories. Not exactly rocket science.

    Carb info

    You don't a carb loading day unless you are on a low carb diet or keto or the such. Your diet seems to be neither so i don't see why you would need a carb loading day or carb cycling.

    Working as "PT" without any certification?

    A slight thread derail. I'm curious as to whether a certified PT can train clients at a commercial gym without actually being part of that commercial gym. Ie. if a PT trains clients at say Fitness First or a local council gym, or a Curves gym or whatever, would they need to actually be part of...

    Question on Fat Cells

    The problem is that there is a lot of false information out there. And yes people these days are lazy. We prefer to be spoonfed information. I'd rather spoonfeed them information than have a public health crisis on our hands. Just because you want to think for yourself only and hope everyone...

    Flaxseed oil - thoughts?

    Check out Woolworths or Coles, Melrose Almond butter in the health food section. Tastes good but on the expensive side. I'll live with PB :D

    Losing more than 2lbs of fat per week

    I think you also have to account for performance to train intensely. When you try to lose fat and maintain muscle mass you need to lift with a high intensity in order to 'convince' your body to hold onto that muscle mass as it is a required adaptation. If you go on like a 2000 calorie deficit to...
