In this episode the Crew dials the voicemail to answer a question from a loyal Power Athlete Radio listener:
John and Tex, how’s it going? Hey love the show I’ve been doing Jacked Street now for around six-seven months. I want to talk a little bit about the shadow cycle debating on whether I was going to make this call or not, but I saw it might be an ally you for you guys for some good conversation. So couple weeks ago on those that shadow set of rack pulls. I really pushed out my reps. Next day start feel a little tenderness in the the old back door, and then that led to a couple of days off. Then my post coffee bowel movements, looking down the toilet, and I got some blood. I have a external hemorrhoid and Yeah, I wanted to ask you what is your guys’s process for coming back from that, you know, if you go read the internet and basically a lot of stuff pretty much says stopped weightlifting all together, which I know is definitely not in the cards. I’m currently I’m taking a pretty easy from resistance training. So wanted to see what you guys thought. I got any good advice stories on how to get back to full strength after let me heal. So, yeah, that’s my great Shadow story can’t love the show.
When a problem comes along, you must zip it!
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, ex-zip-it A of trying too hard in training! The Crew takes a question from a seemingly hesitant caller regarding an external hemorrhoid acquired pushing out a few more reps than they should have.
