Had to stop at 17 min's as I pinched the medial part of my Lt rhomboid. It is still aching now...so I popped 2 voltaron to reduce the inflamation.

I did the same injury on my Rt side when I started. I must have shit form on my pushups. Anyone's advice on this front would be welcome.

Josie - 8 rounds with rings (DAY 2 at CFX) and in lots of pain. Only one way from here...more pain and more gain.

17 full rounds + 5 chins + 10 push ups + 8 squats in 20min

Adrian, i am surprised you could injure it from push ups. But i could be wrong, i would have thought this muscle would get more strain from chin ups. Better see a Dr.

Ogi

I agree with Ogi on this one.. A romboid pinch would be attributed to Pulls ups rather than pushups..

You are most definitely right. I did mean to right "pull" not "push" (Silly me)

When I did it on the RT side it was the pull ups as well.

I tend to swing and jerk up in a fast motion on the pull ups and that is what causes it, even though my descent is slow and controlled. If I am more controlled and slow it down I assume I would be less susceptable to this injury

I have done some research on steel cut oats. It seems like the only way to go in terms of maintaining the intergrety and therefore the nutritional value from oats. Any other form of oat and you are short changing your self of the value in eating this food to start your day.

It is a hard product to get however. A wholesaler in the West sells them in either 500g or 25kg bags. 500g just isn’t worth all the effort but 25kg is too much to store.

If I can get 5 people to purchase with me I can buy one 25kg sack and divi it up in 5kg each? They store very well and a 5kg volume is ideal so you don’t need to go back for a couple of months (at least).

Anyone interested?

14 Rounds plus 5 PU & 10 PU

Slower would ease the strain but maybe also you are putting the inital activation through the Scapula in some way & pulling your shoulders back instead of putting the load through the Lats.
I'd suggest you get Steve or Mick to have a look at your activation (shirt off) to see if the right bits are moving at the right time.

adrian, the rhomoid strain/pinch could be from pushups as it is a main stabiliser of the shoulder blade/scaupular along with serratus anterior just thought i'd throw that in there. you could also strain the rhomboid if you have weak serratus anterior and you have winging of the shoulder blade. this can be seen easly in somebody with serratus weakness as the shoulder blade will flair when a load is placed onto an out streched arm. before joining the army i was a Dr so you know could be that or could be from chin ups or cleans if you did them yesterday and todays session was just the icing on the cake. until i did some muscle tests on it, you could just about say that anything caused it.

hope that helps

ROB

thank you all for your input re my muscle strain. I suppose the only thing I can do is work around it until it gets better...Chrs
