Nagging Injuries
How do you work through a nagging injury? Or a recurrent injury? I tore my acl and had surgery 20 years ago and my knee is easily tweaked and then sore for weeks. I have tried taking time off but it happens so frequently I would be taking months off lifting throughout the year. My chiro says my quad of my affected leg is weak and could be contributing so I focus on single leg isolations to strengthen it like extensions but this just seems to aggravate it more, not sure if working through it or going easy is best… if I work through it it’s typically sore for at least a month. sorry for the long question, any suggestions?!
Beginner help with moving from dumbbells to barbell
I’m a 58 year old woman. I’ve been doing dumbbell workouts but my weights only go up to 25 lbs and i know i need to lift heavier. My husband uses a smith machine and bowflex selectech dumbbells but i find those really awkward to hold because they are so wide. So, i’ve started learning the smith machine but when i lay on the bench my toes barely touch the floor. Is it ok to put my feet up on the bench or is there another way around this? I just want to avoid injury. Also, when i enter weight in the PPL spreadsheet do i include the weight of the bar or just the plates?
Podcast recommendations
What are some podcast you all listen to? It is so hard for me to find podcast I love as much as you guys because within two minutes I can tell it is BS based on the things I have learned from you both. I need more motivating and inspiring podcast fitness related or just for mindset and growth and development .
Fish Oil mentions in podcast
Does anyone know in what episode they have the extensive breakdown of omega 3? They’ve mentioned they did this breakdown in a previous episode, but for the life of me I cannot find it. Additionally, thoughts on the legion omega 3 being higher than the RDA? Thanks!
