Hey thanks for the tip brother. Actually, I used to do that all the time for many years, not only for shoulders but to relax the spine. But for the past 2 years, I can't even hang from a bar due to the pain in right shoulder. Weighing 250 doesn't help. It's so bad recently that I can't even do heavy pulldowns. I'm pretty sure I have a torn RC, and probably a host of other issues.

Sorry to hear that bro. If you can't hang with your entire body weight you more than likely do have a tear. I've thought about trying bpc 157 on my shoulder and my right knee. Have you ever tried peptides to help heal?

Yes two times I tried bpc 157 and it did nothing. Can't say it wasn't legit, since my RC is probably too far gone for that to help. From what I understand, it will help to dramatically speed up the healing process, but it isn't magic - as in if you have torn RC, it isn't going to fix it.

Hmm I might give this a whirl. My arms go numb when I sleep with them raised above my head.

my arms go numb while I sleep as well. I've been running ghrp 2 for a few months and it is much worse since I've been feeling the benefits. My hands swell, and my arms are typically numb every morning.

So wtf might as well post a workout or two when I'm just cruising & not so strong. Been on trt/test e/c@125-150mg e9-10 days past 3 months. I wanted it to be once ew, but after 5 or 6 days I often forget until 10 days rolls around haha.

Bdwt down to 242, only place veins is still poppin' real good is quads & calves. Delts & arms veins have regressed a good bit. Obviously not as dense as when on also.

2-4-19 back & traps:

Underhand grip HS pulldowns (this is a very old HS machine that has a belt to hold you down, not a padded brace, and the belt has been broke for years, hence ya can't go so heavy as nothing is holding you down haha) - 90 x 20, 140 x 15, 180 x 12*, 200 x 9*

BB row - 135 x 15, 225 x 8, 275 x 8*, 295 x 5*
V-bar pulldowns - 160 x 12*, 180 x 8*
Seated cable row - 220 x 12*, 260 x 8* 160 x 22*(burnout)

DB shrugs - 70's x 20, 100's x 23*, 120's x 14*, 120's x 11*

Hyperextensions - 2 x max reps (30-35)* bdwt only

Treadmill 15 mins

* = worksets; all others are warm-ups/feel-sets

So I had an X-ray done in Feb, and it shows some arhtirtis and moderate degeneration. Ortho put me thru some movements and said I might have a torn RC. He scheduled me for an MRI appt following week. I got sick, so cancelled it. The MRI order is valid until May 1, so I have until then to get er done.

In the meantime, I've been doing a shit ton of band rehab exercises, and it has helped very much. I can sleep at night now without having to take any pain meds at all. I'm also 1 week in on a new BCP-157 run @ 1mg ed - hoping for better luck than past 2 times.

I can do bench on an old school bench machine, and cable flyes. Still can't do any flat, incline, decline presses or flyes. For shoulders I can do db side raises, rear delt work, and front raises with palms up. No overhead presses of any kind. I am content with that being it's enough for an easy gainer like me to keep the pecs & delts full. Also it's much easier to maintain the size I already have vs building from scratch.

I will decide about the MRI come end of April. If my end didn't cost so much, it woulda aready been done. But I gotta ask myself, if I'm gonna fork out this much $$, then I'm gonna have to get the surgery done too in this same year before all my deductable/my share starts over again at the new year. End of the day I have some other stuff coming up, and don't know if I want the extra financial burden haha.

I said screw the MRI for now. Don't wanna be rehabbing in the summer fukk that. I've been active with alot of band work/rehab, and another run of bpc-157. My functionality outside the gym is cool, no need for pain meds to sleep. Workouts still going strong - and with chest & shoulders, just getting alot of blood in there has kept most my size there. I can still bang arms, back & legs 100% - just no overhead db/ez bar work for tris anymore. .

I know a PT at the gym. Good guy - gives me tidbits and shows me exercises to rehab all the time. In his opinion, he thinks if I do have a torn RC, it's not fully torn. He also said it might not be torn at all and that the arthritis & degeneration can cause alot of pain in of itself. He bases this on the fact that my shoulder has healed alot since I could barely raise my arm, and also from a sequence of moves he put me thru to test the strength of the RC. But again, this was just his opinion, and he clearly stated that even so, an MRI is the only way to tell 100%. So if I am still dealing with this come late fall, I will prolly do the MRI & get cut on then.

End of quarterly update.

Just to add, you wouldn't believe how many guys I have mentioned this to who had lumbar issues and it helped them tremendously. Having tight hams is very common, and if something goes out in that posterior chain, it's rarely the hams, but more often the lumbar. Again, I wish I knew this info 30 years ago!
