owwwww! bruising of the spine...Arnica gel is great for reducing swelling and bruising. I used it after a serious op a couple of years ago, it worked wonders! get it from H & B, about 10/12 pounds.

Hope you're ok and all going well.

Somehow managed to bruise the base of my spine. No outer bruising but i've got two sore spots under the skin (not in the muscle/tendons etc) just to the right of my spine. Odd.

Forgot to say - using the PHD V-Max Pump courtersey of Monster Supplements as a trial for them and on the shoulder work and incline DB bench I got so pumped that I was struggling to bench/press fully! Never used a pump product that has worked so well! Crazy trap and shoulder veins as I pressed too with some good striations as I raised/pressed . Also get a good focus and it seems i'm able to get a few more reps out with it.

Defo recommended - the Berry Blast tastes like strawberry sherbet and only the tiniest bitter taste as its drunk. Really nice - much tastier than the Boditronics pre-wo pump product.

Good session again. DB rows are going nutty - will try the 80kg DBs next week for 10 reps - 176lb. Liking Back work but my back does get sore, regardless of how the form is. Sh1tty old back. Still, know how to work around it and will. Just wish it was stronger so I could help thicken it up. May have been something else I have done, but it escapes me LOL
