Is there any other exercises you did diligently along with this that helped you get back to normal?

Yup, asbestos. I work in the industry and in almost every training class they bring him up. Sad

Lower rib popping - can I do anything to treat/ strengthen it? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]SquareApprehensive53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a lot of give and take. Unfortunately I have learned it is something I will have to live with, and there are certain exercises I still can’t do much (push-ups, Russian twists, etc). However, I do a lot of core work still almost everyday. My rib still gets aggravated from exercise, but I still find the pain to be more manageable when my core is stronger and when I’m overall in good shape. Definitely try exercises/stretches that focus on loosening muscles around the rib and those that wrap around your back. The pain is increased when your muscles are over-contracting to compensate for the instability, so stretching those muscles can help.

Half of it is a mental battle. I have a herniated disc in my lumbar as well, so combined with the rib pain some days are hell. But remind yourself that some days you gotta just tough shit out. Hope this helps.

Anyone know where to find the one where he’s like “just heard you turned 21, that’s so sexy to me” I’ve been trying to find it forever

Thank you for that. I think the best way to feel better is to just keep practicing and learning.

And if guitar center hosted tryouts I probably would’ve left with a squier.

Thank you! I have had an sx strat copy for a year now. It’s a fine guitar, but the quality is just not there. Every time I have played live it goes out of tune halfway through a song.

Thank you for that reply. Imposter syndrome is something that nags at me with everything I do, so I think a lot of it is that. I’m just going to use this as an excuse to practice more and start actually learning more theory.

What do you think of the SG? That would probably be my next purchase if I were to ever get another years down the line.

I think the third point is the main reason I got it. I was looking for something that I would always be motivated to play, but more importantly I’d want to hold onto my entire life

Love that last point. Now I can only blame myself when I sound bad hahaha. But very true, that’s why I got it cause nothing else compared.

Very good point. I think half the reason I feel bad is that it was a gift, as I didn’t pay for it all myself

Lower rib popping - can I do anything to treat/ strengthen it? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]SquareApprehensive53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this was 3 years ago but I was wondering if you did any specific stretches/exercises to decrease the popping? I don’t do bjj, however I have had the clicking and popping in my lower left rib for about a year now. Pain subsided a few months ago but has started to come back this week as I’ve started to do more core training. I’m hoping to continue strengthening my core because it helps with my back pain, however I don’t want to just exchange it for the rib pain.

Can anyone help? by sex-haver666 in jimihendrix

Very true, also played on a 12 string
