A few things need to be done here. First of all, switch to an antibacterial soap in the shower. Second, I want you showering immediately after any exercise that produces a good amount of sweat. 2 showers a day seems reasonable.

Make sure to wear only COTTON shirts instead of polyester or other non-breathable materials.

Also yes, go back to the doctor and see if there are other treatments available that you are eligible for.

cortisone injection into the shoulder is very effective.

After that, I would advise that you change your workout routines to more neutral grip items (avoid straight bars on pressing activities to prevent further rotator cuff issues)

As long as it's PALM FRUIT OIL and not PALM KERNEL OIL you're okay.

The palm kernel oil is around 90% saturated fat and the palm fruit oil is around 50%. You want a maximum of a 50/50 split with saturated/unsaturated fats in your peanut butter.


I would check out "Peanut Butter & Co" as they use palm fruit oil. Besides them, you can check into other brands. My personal favorite (power butter) has a tendency to separate which is normal because no palm oil exists in that product.

Raynor, what's the main difference between the front squat vs the normal squat? Let's also assume that the front squat is the olympic style (In the Rack position, Not the arms crossed over shoulder)

what does neutral grip exercises mean. does this mean no benching/squatting?

I'm back on track Raynor. Sleep and a bit of diet arrangement was all I needed. 24 hours (since I posted) and I'm good as new (touch wood).

Question: are there any ways to in a healthy way increase my blood pressure? I have low blood pressure, and I'd like to try to stabilize it as best as possible. My workout today was excellent (I took a heaping scoop of 1MR), but I got light-headed and felt like throwing up halfway through. I kept on going though, and weirdly I actually enjoyed the light-headed throwup feeling, and I kept on lifting more and more. By the end of the workout I almost felt like passing out (but knew I wouldn't), and I had stubbed my toe and gashed a little blood and didn't feel it during my workout. I didn't feel pain during my workout this time... I just felt like a beast... enjoyed all the pain, queeziness, light-headedness... is that good? I usually don't get this light-headed during a workout.

Anyway, my main question (to be straight-forward) is me wondering if I can increase my blood pressure (aside from taking caffeine to temporarily do so), so that I don't get as light-headed. I guess this goes along with it (maybe it's the same thing?): How do I increase the volume of blood my body is holding (is that the same as blood pressure?).

Last question (sorry for going on and on): I seem to react very differently between different preworkouts. I usually make sure I take the same quantity of caffeine. I'm wondering... is there anything other than caffeine I can use (in addition to caffeine) in my own home-made preworkout? I'm going to start taking tea or black coffee, but I feel like I'm quite resistant to the effects of caffeine (I need a lot). I used to have a heart palpitation (nothing that was serious enough for my doctor to say anything), but it hasn't shown up in the past year or so: main thing I have to say about that is I try to take a normal amount of stimulant and not go above that.

Back squats are a complete exercise that hit virtually all parts of the legs, back, and even abs. To a degree other muscles such as biceps, shoulders, and chest are engaged.

Front squats are an extremely intensive quad workout that hit all 3 parts of the quad and are thus an accessory workout vs a core workout.

It means switch to things where your grip can remain neutral. IE: dumbbell bench press instead of barbell bench press. Neutral grip is where you let your arms and hands hang at a neutral angle.

Hey there.

1. Increase your sodium intake in order to increase your blood pressure to normal levels. Hypovolemic and hypotensive individuals generally carry salt packets with them in case they go too low and feel like fainting. You can also try some stimulants like caffeine and ginseng.

2. Feeling that sort of charisma at the gym is an excellent thing. Keep up the good work.

3. Other pre-workouts would include: Beta Alanine, Ginseng, Guarana, L-Tyrosine, B Vitamins, Taurine, and if you are a hardgainer - sugar.

I hope this helps!

Two questions

I've been playing video games for a LONG time now and my back/posture is REALLY terrible is there any sort of stretches, lifts, etc to help me reposturize so to speak (and how long would it take to do so)

and can you link me to everything you got again forgot to bookmark it
