How long have you been dealing with the issue?

Been since may at the least. Part of it is on me as well not resting like I should. I love ball to much but the recovery aspect is annoying and slow

So I'm no doctor but you should start thinking of it in terms of "tendonosis" and not tendonitis. Rest helps, yes but you're gonna need to do something more if you wanna heal up properly.

NSAIDs or cherry juice can help with inflammation, but that's not gonna help you get better long term. Start thinking about stretches, soft tissue work, or PT.

I don't know how serious of an issue it is for you but if you've rested properly and the problem keeps coming back, you gotta do more than supps can help with. Gotta break the tissue down, so da collagen fibers can realign properly B.

you just out here fixing all kind of knee problems.

Directly foam rolling your lower back? If so, that's not recommended.

i did the side joint that everyone does.. like the foam roller on my hip/side stomach... i heard thats good for hips which can help with the lower back...?

someone correct me if im wrong and show me what to do lol

 

[xcellz]

foam rolling anywhere on the spine is not recommended from what I was taught.... due to the sensitivity

I find the "cardio is boring" narrative fascinating because that's exactly how I used to feel about weight lifting.

I would always rather play some ball, box, roll BJJ etc. than just press weight.

Not much different from running when you consider you can do variations of that as well. Jog, sprints, hills, stairs etc.

Plus there was always this belief that lifting weight wasn't great for boxing, which has changed over time.

I was always more of a body weight guy. Along these lines (nowhere near this strong, but these kinds of exercises for strength) https://www.instagram.com/brooklyntank718/

It wasn't until I started working with a new crew that I got into lifting because I could feel the difference in the power of my punches from front squats, deadlifts etc.

 

[Mark Antony]

Boxing/Muay Thai for cardio

Swimming

Yeah this right here. Running doesn't keep my interest, but this introductory course had me sweating like crazy and sore for a week. Plus that extra fat I gained itches like a mug from the impact on a treadmill, it's weird.

 

[ismellshoes]

Wanted to make my workout fam laugh  Let me know what y'all think or if you found it funny or not lol
Curling in the squat rack yay or nay? lol Whose guilty don't lie haha

 

I do it I'm super setting something else with biceps. But if somebody wants the rack I give it to them tho

Same man. I couldn't even touch my toes 

.

I've been going twice a week for a month and also doing "Starting Stretching" daily. It's made such a big difference.

Towards the middle of the class today, I reached down and was able to touch my toes. I'm 30 years old and it's probably the first time I've been able to do that.  I couldn't believe it man. Such a small accomplishment but made me feel like I was on top of the world 

 

 

[xcellz]

Same lol. I scratch my back on the wall like a beat

pretty much, my back has all kinds of scratches from rubbing against stuff.

I did some mobility/flexibility drills a couple weeks ago.  my lower body is alright, its just my upper body mainly shoulder mobility is garbage.

I was joking with him. Yes it is normal for muscles to twitch here and there.
