    Cancer , friend or foe?

    I sat by myself contemplating and reflecting; why is it that everytime the word cancer is made mention of, it’s made with the utmost negativity and hostility. I ask you to give this matter a thought, a few minutes of your time, and see why is it that people always seem to be waging war on this...

    Pain behind knee caps

    it's been many years since I've squatted and I messed up my form a couple of weeks ago trying to get back into it.

    Bicep Pain when Benching

I am sorta bewildered by this, as I don't do any isolation exercises on my biceps, and my bench is straight after squats as per the SS program. It feels like it just "gives out" when the bar is a couple inches from...

    Shoulder Pain & numb fingertips

    I was doing dumbbell shoulder press (pretty sure this was the culprit) and from memory I was going to failure and just pushed too hard and my form was all over the place.
