Strangely today went pretty bad. I was able to get 1 set in before certain joints gave me a warning

1. Ovhd Arm Swing with alt. lunges x3min
2. RDL 225x6
3. BB Thruster 95x8
4. BB Sumos 225x8 - medial right hip area and oblique area tense...changed position but nothing worked
5. Inverted Rows x3 - Left medial tendon of elbow and bicep flared up sharp pain
 
Ya, I definitely have aches to address. My girlfriend has me trying "Tumeric Paste" (I actually have to drink the stuff) starting today for achy joints. Keep you posted on that
 
That's a new one on me. What is the alleged benefit of eating concentrated spice? Apart from always having an empty seat beside you on the bus.
I have heard about fish oils, and there is a mineral supplement I keep seeing, but tend to think eating well and training should take care of it. Along with a frequent dose of ignoring the fact that damage I caused in youth means waking up in varying levels of pain every day.
What is your mobility and flexibility routine like? I find stretching after every workout, running, weights etc. is crucial. I should do warm up stretches after some warm up work, but never do.
Sign of my stupidity. I started ensuring I stretched after every workout to minimise the aching. When the aching reduced I decided I wasn't training hard enough so upped intensity. Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional.
 
Hey Crazy - "alleged" haha! I like that (sort of) ... Tumeric helps with inflammation. Tumeric does not have a smell to it to worry about. Fish oils are great and I used to take a lot. It worked well and it is omega 3 DHA source (cant get that from plants).

I generally stretch specific areas before training. This week I have changed it to morning foamroll - static stretch - corrective drills. I should do as you and stretch after my workouts...but I am hit or miss with the post exercise stretching.

Day 3 Week3 AA Circuit
Final week for this gonna take next week most likely
1. DB Split Jerk modified drills 2x30lbx3min
2. DB Bentover Rows 2x120x11,9
3. DB Bench Press 2x150x8,9 *couldnt shake tension in left chest/shldr area....kept the ROM limited
4. DB Hammer Curls 2x80x6,4
5. 1Arm DB Swings 1x60x3ea and 1x45x5ea
6. Bridge of of bench with 1arm DB bench press 1x45x8ea and 1x50x8ea

Happy witht he results...no pain but tension in left chest and left knee
 
We're opposites then, you do warm up mobility properly, I do cool down recovery properly. Combine the two of us we we'd be awesome.

2. Supine cross-leg glute stretch 2min each side

Day2

I did a lot of conditioning work. I ownt list it all. Did not get into strength training. Now I'm on a 24 hour fast...looking forward to 7am!!
 
24 hour fast. Are you going to hospital of just insane. I fast around 8 hours at a time, but I have to be put to sleep to manage it.
 
I've done a few almost-24-hour fasts recently. So long as I get to have dinner each day, and don't train fasted, I'm happy.
