Re: Athletic Pubalgia (Sports Hernia)
It's turned out very well. I'm about 5 months out from the surgery and apart from some adductor weakness and a little soreness around the scar, am pretty much back to normal. There is no lingering...

I've had the same thing happen but everyone's different so this advice may not apply:

Re: Working out after cervical disc herniation
Agree completely with Mike. Did you not go through physical therapy?
I had/have 2 cervical disk herniations (search here and I think you'll find some info) at C5/6 and C6/7. You need to figure...

Re: Using belts for the Olympic Lifts?
Lincoln has a lot more experience than I but a good 2nd pull is going to be so close to your stomach that it can lift your t-shirt. You also want to maximize the arch which I think a belt would...

Re: clean vs. High pull
May not be an issue with young athletes but I find that the high pull can provoke impingement in the shoulders. The clean, properly done, should not.

Re: Forearm Building & Crossfit
Sounds like you really want to describe some exercises for the forearm so why not go ahead? People who feel the need can then use them.
You may be right that there are sports (or people) where...

Re: Shoulder Press
Push presses (dip before you push in order to get some momentum) then really focus on the negative movement.

Re: Why are my squat weights so low?
I'm guessing that you have never before squatted that low with weights. It's perfectly natural, when you put your body into a new ROM, for your weights to be low. The muscle has to develop and the...

Re: Squat flexibility and knee direction
As someone with similar issues, I'll give you my take on it:
if the knees are tracking in, it's probably because of abductor weakness. This should improve over time but make sure they make a...

Re: Shoulder/elbow pain

Re: Weird, sharp pain in my abdomen
Hernias usually do not hurt very much (I've had 3). That doesn't mean you have one. If the pain continues, you just need to see a doctor. Diagnosis via the web is not recommended.
