I had a lot of aches and pains until i increased fat intake (among other measures) which i think improved T levels which lead to less aches and pains all round. But not sure if that would apply in your case

interesting. i don't exactly keep fat intake low, but might be time to start food journaling again. my diet here isn't the best. it's not bad but like i was literally thinking about going "paleo" again as i was falling asleep last night. just to see.

Injury is a fact of life for most athletes, but some professionals—and some weekend warriors, for that matter—just seem more injury-prone than others. But what is it about their bodies that makes the bones, tendons, and ligaments so much more likely to tear or strain—bad luck, or just poor preparation?

A growing body of research suggests another answer: that genetic makeup may play an important role in injury risk.

anyone have access to this paper and care to share? acole? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25536480

Baar’s research found that when they combined vitamin C (important for collagen synthesis) with glycine (one of the most common amino acids in collagen) there was an increase in strength of ligaments the engineered in the laboratory.

These data suggest that adding gelatin to an intermittent exercise program improves collagen synthesis and could play a beneficial role in injury prevention and tissue repair.

Frequent injuries have been a fact of my life since I started playing sports. I'm not talking about traumatic injuries -- I've only had one of those, a separated shoulder, and it was from a fall that would have hurt most people -- but more strains and sprains and aches that just always seem to be there in one part of my body or other. As a person who loves exercising and playing sports, this is incredibly frustrating. There has to be a reason, whether or not I can do anything about it.

My interest in training came out of an interest in physical therapy that itself came out of spraining my ankle six goddamn times. Time to get back into PT mode. This thread will be a repository for things I read about injury-proneness and what to do about it.

fully admit that i have not been following the mechanics conversation closely. but every time i see a "he could be better if just fixed X or Y" in reference to a truly elite athlete, my instinct is to roll my eyes. usain bolt is the fastest person in recorded history. there is no telling what "fixing" any aspect of his form would do. maybe he starts the way he does or holds his upper body the way he does because to do otherwise would lead to injury or be uncomfortable and slow him down in some way we can't be aware of. it's hard to argue that he hasn't maxed out on his talent: he won almost every race he entered for nine years and set two huge world records!

just like people who bitched about randy moss smoking weed. he was the greatest of all time! if he hadn't smoked weed, maybe he'd have gotten fed up with football and quit! weed sure didn't slow him down as he was streaking past safeties like they were standing still!

pet peeve.

- run 1 km

- interval run 500m x 2, ~3:00/km pace
let's just say i don't think a 15:00 5k is in my future.

- walk 250m, run 250m

- pull ups x 10,4
lolllllll first set was alright though

- some other random crap, handstands and pirouettes and TTB

- stretch

not much of a plan going in except to see what it was like to run fast. didn't even have a target pace in mind. but it's good to know what 3:00/km feels like.

re adarq's last post, something my dad posted on fb recently:

If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when,
through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed or color, religion or politics,
If you can do all these things,
Then you are almost as good as your dog.

+8 million for the importance of habits. do you floss? start with that if you don't.

 :gtfo: lol i'm not a caveman, i still take showers ocassionally and change my underwear ocassionally.

lol, it's an example from some internet fitness guru whose name i forget. he was making a point about roids: if you're not disciplined enough to floss, you're not even close to disciplined enough to take advantage of chemical enhancement. point is just that discipline and consistency are everything and forming habits is a way to make those easier.
