I get a weird sensation in my arm when I do shrugs..

It's like a slightly tingling/numbing feeling that runs down my arm from my elbow to my pinkie. It only happens as I'm easing the bar down. It's not incredibly uncomfortable, but is this normal? Should I be worrying about it?

its just nerve damage. walk it off, pussy. edit - seriously though.. any time your body starts doing something that makes you go "is that normal?", it might be a good idea to visit a health care professional.

Happens to me with heavy weight, it's normal.

Try it with dumbells.

its normal with a lot of weight

your ulnar nerve's getting pinched

i get that too when i shrug heavy just my left hand, though

evi1eddie i get that too when i shrug heavy just my left hand, though Yeah, it's my left hand too.

xpinchx Yeah, it's my left hand too. as long as its not the jerking hand we're fine

Uh, I would give it rest for a bit. But what do I know?

are you rolling your shoulders? that might be the cause that. you should just move up and down.. rolling is bad for your R-cuff, and could be hitting a nerve.

strained glute?

strained glute?

well in my wisdom I was seeing how high I could jump, just out of the blue started jumping. my glutes hurt like all fuck, I was on the ground. Now when I get into a squat position the right one hurts a lot. I iced them immediately. what should I do....see how it feels tomorrow?

A friend of mine was squatting on the smith machine and pulled his glute as well. Now I think that squatting on a smith is a bad idea in the first place... but anyways he took a long break from working out legs. I don't know if it really hurt him that bad or if he used it as an excuse to not work out his legs...

There's a condition that is similar, I forget what it's called it was posted a few days ago.

it feels better this morning , I wonder if I can squat tomorrow, fuck I hope so.

Bar placement for squats

Bar placement for squats

where is the bar supposed to sit when i'm doing squats? i'm fairly certain i have it in the right spot, but i want to make sure. also, is it normal for bruising to occur where the bar makes contact? i remember christophers saying that people generally need it lower than they have it naturally, so i've been trying to keep it as low as i can.

tize put it so low that you have to use the strength in your shoulders to actually hold the bar up when you are upright, on the descent the bar will be confortably supported by your traps and upper back same for good mornings?

I love mine low low on my traps. I used to have it almost on top of my shoulders and it would bruise the shit out of my neck, but now it's fine.

i put the bar on the lower part of the traps, altho i dont get bruising.

weird, i put it on my neck.

once i learned where to put it, i no longer get any bruising or abrasion. I squat 315 or so... if you arnt putting up a lot more then that and you are messing up your back you are doing it wrong. if you are messing up your neck, you are definitely doing it wrong

anyone use that safety squat bar with the handles out front that christophers mentioned? I'd love to try it out but my gym doesn't have it looks like it would take a whole lot of strain off the shoulders

DoublasM2 anyone use that safety squat bar with the handles out front that christophers mentioned? I'd love to try it out but my gym doesn't have it looks like it would take a whole lot of strain off the shoulders My gym has one but it looks like somebody made it in their garage. I'll eventually try it.

i start with 365 as my starting set, and i get bruises after my entire workout. esp after goin up to 405 for my last set... dam i love squats. unfortunately today is back/bi day.

Atenza6i i start with 365 as my starting set, and i get bruises after my entire workout. esp after goin up to 405 for my last set...

b-stevens oops, wasn't paying attention while typing. i start with 315 as a first set, then go to 365, and move on up and eventually get to 405 as my last set.

i only get it after not having squatted for a while. like weeks at a time. ibthatshouldneverhappen sorry, was involved in a car accident...back hurt like a (#&@#@

Atenza6i back hurt like a (#&@#@ You don't warmup for squats? you just jump right into the 315?

uh, i jog for a minute or so to get the blood flowing, stretch, and i get into 315. i don't see whats so wrong with jumping into 315.

Subliminal012 Oh yeah, muscles don't need to recover. You get bigger by just lifting everyday, but you have lazy broly's who only do it 3-4 times a week and they don't know anything and believe in rest to justify their lazyness. That made me laugh.

http://www.ironaddicts.com/forums/sh...highlight=sled I saw this on a link from Lyle's board. Want to try it out when I get back to America. Way better than spending 100+ and shipping for the one at elitefts. I am going to paint mine pink!

if you live in an apartment... GL finding a palce to use it

Mike McShit Where am I supposed to find a scrapyard or a welding/machine shop?

vettedude built one himself a few days ao. he drags it to the park and uses it there. true story.

I just tie a rope to one of the random tires in my garage.

tire is enough for me.

How well would 1 of these sleds work as opposed to lets say jogging 2 miles a day? If I drug it around for a half hour would I reap the same cardio/fat burning benifits as jogging plus maybe build some muscle?

thanks for the link!

I cant really belive people pay for these when they are so easy to build. I am going to build one one of these days and use my weight set at the house for something. Since I cant afford a bench.
