shaar Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I have the exact same problem with down pillows. Cool at first, but the inevitable Poor Neck Angle. I've been using my microwavable neck pillow religiously after I wake up for about 15 minutes.... for about a week now. It's helped immensely with that morning tension, even sleeping on a hotel pillow this weekend, I had no ill side effects. Trial and error, forever.... 1 Quote Tell me, if you had the strength to take another step, could you do it? Level ??

Urgan Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 5-8-2016 This supplement is punk rock Lifting Mind the knees; mind the back Rest day~ Ukemi Roll 5x per side See above. Food Protein: 5/20 - 123g Mother’s Day dinner = all the protein ever. Working theory: Dairy issues might have been caused by magnesium issues! Rationale: an abundance of calcium causes epic perpetual tension. Milk is a huge source of calcium. Body knows this and was trying to tell me to lay off. Also, the comments in this. So I’m not alone in this theory. Running headlong with this theory, I had cheese and crackers using Ricotta. Note for the future: a good vehicle for tuna. Sleep Lights out: 12:15AM -- 7/10 Wake up: 10:00AM -- 10/10 So, full disclosure, I got up in the night again, but I blame it more on the cat sitting on my pillow, squishing it out of shape, and giving me the tensions. Also, it wasn’t an “emergency” situation, as it is usually... Luckily standing up a minute and resetting the pillow sorted that out. Take two with same vitamin strategy... Mobility No slouching Days since last tension headache: 4 Neck mobility: 7/28 Stretch and mobilize: 7/28 I am going to clean the bathroom thoroughly, for it is my spa zone and it must look like such. Ironically, I’m going to call it quits on consecutive epsom salt baths and figure out a routine pending my skin responding favorably to the supplementation, because it’s not entirely loving the soaking. Go figure. Re: actual mobility things, anterior and posterior neck and pec/delts were addressed. 2 Quote Level 13 Shape-shifting Warrior Monk STR:45 | DEX:18 | STA:10 | CON:37 | WIS:37 | CHA:27 The stronger the body the more it obeys, the weaker the body the more it commands. -- Siegmund Klein Battle Log : MFP : Instagram : Challenges - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Link to comment
Urgan Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 MAY WEEK 1 DEBRIEF This is a funeral for my neck problems, consider yourself invited Lifting Proceeding as expected, with interrupted sleep my recovery is iffy. Not much to it at this moment. Ukemi All the rolling, all of the time. I have finally figured out how to do both forward and back rolls, and actually like back rolls better, somehow. Food Protein: 119g on average! Now if I can just get some sleep, I could tell if this is making a difference..... Sleep Could have been better, what with all the interruptions nearly every night #fail I think it's due to my supplement timing. Mobility I've developed a four day streak of no tension headaches, solved my tension problem with magnesium supplementation, and my mobility needs are slightly reduced yet I can actually tell a difference afterward! And there was much rejoicing. I no longer need a dedicated neck mobility quest and will drop it. 2 Quote Level 13 Shape-shifting Warrior Monk STR:45 | DEX:18 | STA:10 | CON:37 | WIS:37 | CHA:27 The stronger the body the more it obeys, the weaker the body the more it commands. -- Siegmund Klein Battle Log : MFP : Instagram : Challenges - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Link to comment

Urgan Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 5-9-2016 Belated Mother's Day Pool Time... Lifting Mind the knees; mind the back Active rest. Went swimming with mom for 30-45 minutes, it was freezing and quite tiring. Mom wanted to learn how to float on her back and didn't feel confident enough to do it by herself (ironically she can nail floating head-down...). So we did that, she did the thing, I apparently can still do the thing. Ukemi Roll 5x per side Aikido night! My very first maybe-injury in Aikido! Yay! We worked on pistol takeaways using kotegaeshi. THIS is how it’s done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll1GCzl4Bxg We started with a warm-up review of the technique, then did takeaways from the front, added atemi, and then from the back, with some slight variations here and there, including arm bar by way of pinning uke’s arm against our ribs as we pivot just prior to the actual throw. We also switched partners a lot, which gave me some experience being uke for higher belts (I was the lowest in the room this time). A blue belt was particularly aggressive about that armbar. At one point I held the fake gun to the back of his head, he grabs me in kotegaeshi grip, and really gives me the armbar. I feel a pop in that elbow like someone flicked the back of it, but otherwise I carry through the technique. This probably was due to the fact that something went wrong with the direction he spun, because I ended up in front of him before he could throw. Sensei was very attentive to the fact that it didn’t seem to go right even though he had to monitor the whole room, and I made the executive decision to quit while I was well ahead. Ironically, blue belt did the same thing to his wife. They came up to me to make sure no permanent harm was done and I assured them that I would live to fight another day. CUE TIGER BALM AND ELBOW SLEEVE. Food Protein: 6/20 - 138g Taking supplements late at night to try to deal with the nocturnal bathroom trips... (spoiler: ...4AM, hello again) Sleep Lights out: 11:45PM -- 8/10 Wake up: 8:50AM -- 9/10 Despite waking up in the middle of the night yet again, I felt okay enough. Swimming was exhausting, but no naps. NO NAPS FOR ME. Mobility No slouching Days since last tension headache: 5 Stretch and mobilize: 8/28 Stretching at the dojo, neck mobilization only today~ Some bobbing around in the pool, mostly floating, a little doggy paddle. Very gentle stuff. 5 hours ago, lucky fire dragon said: Isn't that the BEST?!!!!

The human body is all zen like that. TENSHUN B GONE. My skin is weird, it's all vitamin deficient or something, turns red and inflamed with soakings. I figure a good soak every now and again won't kill me while I see if this multi is gonna help matters. I can't tell you about the bath oil yet because too many variables (the fizzy spa thing might have interfered). It made my skin super silky smooth, but then I was BAD itchy late at night. Lately I've managed to skate by without slathering myself with moisturizer. YAY THAT. Tonight I shall soak with epsom salt and bath oil and we shall see the results! Oh and I drank a cup of milk + protein powder the day after a large foo-foo coffee, we'll see if I get leprosy and die or something~ I love this game of eating a thing and watching what happens. It's a lot more fun without the TENSHUNS complicating matters. 3 Quote Level 13 Shape-shifting Warrior Monk STR:45 | DEX:18 | STA:10 | CON:37 | WIS:37 | CHA:27 The stronger the body the more it obeys, the weaker the body the more it commands. -- Siegmund Klein Battle Log : MFP : Instagram : Challenges - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Link to comment

Urgan Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 5-10-2016 Maybe I'm a lion. Lifting Mind the knees; mind the back Squat - 45 1x5 70 1x3 95 1x2 115 1x1 138 6x3 - belted BP - NA OHP - NA DL - 160 1x3 - belted 165 1x3 - belted PC - NA Squats felt way better today than last week. I decided to go easy by nixing upper body for today, given the minor stress of those light deadlifts, probably a good call. (Futurenote: yes.) Ukemi Roll 5x per side I stayed away from ukemi that might affect my left elbow, otherwise aces. Not that I’m counting it against me. Sensei called to check up on my elbow, he seemed kinda worried, lol. Food Protein: 7/20 - 138g Yup, hit 138 two days in a row. What’re the odds, huh? Anyway, chicken and gnocchi dumplings for dinner! Quick, easy, winning it. Sleep Lights out: 11:15PM -- 7/10 Wake up: 9:25AM -- 10/10 I got in bed kinda beat up from Aikido, woke up not even thinking about my neck from the bed to the bathroom. Do you know what that means? NO STIFFNESS, NO MISERY. My lifts seemed better, so I guess I don’t care if I have to get up so long as I don’t have the force production of an invalid. Mobility No slouching Days since last tension headache: 6 Stretch and mobilize: 8/28 Not too much mobility work due to not wanting to put undue stress on the elbow, but neck ROM stretches and foot mobility I can do. My right calf/ankle/foot is tight, but no complaints here. Where I will complain is how I wish I could go back in time and not have soaked in the tub. I sat for about 15 minutes in epsom + sesame body oil then got a shower and wow was that a mistake. Not sure if the transfer was the problem (being too slow to get back under water or pat dry) or the combination of what I was soaking in, but I will never do that again ‘til this skin thing is sorted out.

Mistr Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I hope you get an offer out of the interview, that your elbow recovers quickly and that you figure out what is irritating your skin. Maybe the sesame body oil? In my experience, epsom salts are neutral in the bath. My skin gets less wrinkly when I use epsom salts, but it doesn't feel drier or more moisturized. I usually just rinse off with water after soaking - no soap or body oil is involved. 1 Quote Level 76 Viking paladin My current challenge Battle log Link to comment

Here is an analogy: Going back to Tuesday evening, one of my work sets might take 30 seconds and I might rest for three minutes in between. So if you pop by momentarily, there is an 86% probability you see me just standing around and talking to the cute girl and you might get the impression that's all you ever do at the gym. My job involves a lot of thinking. I don't know. Let me think about it.
