Dave Palumbo on quad shots

[Poppy]

Ahhh lower back pumps

 

[Ripgut]

I wasn’t even working out…I was just eating dinner… And I take torene while working out 500 mg

 

[Dirtnasty]

500mg is rookie numbers. I take 6-8 g of taurine a day

 

[Ripgut]

But we can agree it’s not a back pump

 

[Dirtnasty]

Where does it hurt and what does it feel like

 

[Dirtnasty]

I will get them
Just from sitting with good posture lulz

 

[Ripgut]

Just bending over to pick up something on the floor… Or driving the car hurts it…shit even taking a shit…Feels more like around the lower spine even in the ass cheeks… Feels like a knuckle that wants to pop but won’t

 

[Ripgut]

I want to say starts at lower spine and radiates towards the upper ass cheeks on each side… Almost numbing maybe

 

[Dirtnasty]

Sounds like back pump to me. One more question though if you didn’t think it was back pumps wHt deadlift with hurting lower back. If it’s injury your only risking making it worse

 

[Ripgut]

Just trying to push through the pain. I’ve missed out on plenty of leg days because of quad shots. Another reason I started this thread. The deadlifts were painful and the leg press was painful enough after 2 reps to finish the leg workout. Just trying to get the legs to catch up to the body. I don’t skip it but the quad shots force me to skip legs wayyyy to many times… I was going to go to chest but I said fuck it just do the legs… I don’t know if it was because I sat on a hard chair for dinner or what but that’s when it started hurting… It didn’t hurt while eating dinner but afterwards as I continue to sit having a conversation… I did not work out at all yesterday either when it started hurting

 

[Dirtnasty]

I mean if it’s an injury you’ll end having to skip it much longer than one day by trying to push through pain

 

[Poppy]

Maybe not do any training that aggravates the area until you get to the root cause. It may be regular old back pumps OR it can be spine/disc/vertebrae problems that can lead to all kinds of nasties.

NSAIDS and painkillers treat the symptoms… no bueno

I lived with back pain for a long time until I started going to a chiropractor regularly… once a month at least and started stretching way more.

Serious business brother. Gotta keep you in the fight.

 

[Ripgut]

Yeah I don’t know it’s something related to what you said… I don’t think it’s back pumps for me because when that happens I just quit the exercise move on to something different and it’ll go away within 10 minutes

 

[Poppy]

Just be careful. This stuff doesn’t get any easier.

Does your insurance cover chiropractic visits?

The good ones will xray first to access possible “damage “.

 

[Poppy]

don’t think it’s back pumps for me

You might have something going on that needs addressing.

Not lecturing… from a soon to be 62yo… all my injuries, indiscretions and bad decisions are coming back with extreme prejudice. I’m getting aches and pains from stuff that happened decades ago that I’ve long forgotten.

These days my body is saying “remember this incident a-hole… 1984…motorcycle crash and you refused medical care… I’m baaaack”…

 

[Ripgut]

Does your insurance cover chiropractic visits?

I’ll have to check it out

 

[Dirtnasty]

The fact it’s goig away in like 10 minutes sounds like pumps to me man. Drop the drol and see what if it gets better

 

[Ripgut]

looks like you got a halo

Amen brother…

 

[Ripgut]

Drop the drol and see what if it gets better

Have yet to drop the drol. Feels like more of a nerve thing… Bending over to tie my shoes or to pick something up really sets it off…

 

[Ripgut]

I dropped it for 2 days because I took 2 days off then came back half dosages now full dosages again… everything’s gravy… Anyone know the average sled weight on leg presses?
