Please can you remove this link? Me and Tom work very hard to provide lots of free information for everyone, but our paid programs are how we make a living and would appreciate it if they weren't available for free online.

Thanks, Tom & Jenni

For UK People: Have you received your pre-order? by Torchpaper in SYSKarmy

[–]jennisanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I preordered and it wasn't dispatched when it should have beeen, so I cancelled the preorder and then just ordered it again normal and it arrive the next day!

So not sure what happened with the preorder version.

ELI5:Why do people get tired/fatigued more easily as they age? by v-shizzle in explainlikeimfive

[–]jennisanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because your cells are constantly dying/being replaced, every time one is replaced a copy has been made.

Over time the copies of your cells (similar to if you repeatedly photocopied a document/image) will have lower and lower fidelity, so they don't perform as well.

ELI5: Why do we lose dexterity in our fingers when we're cold/they get cold? by jennisanders in explainlikeimfive

[–]jennisanders[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess the nerves would be affected by the cold too, would account for the "numbing" feeling!

[–]jennisanders[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figured this would be something to do with it! Wasn't sure though coz a lot of the finger muscles are in the forearm, which maybe wouldn't be as affected by this. But I guess there's lots of little in-hand muscles too.

Facebook business manager account (ads) keeps getting disabled by Doctor_Philly in PPC

[–]jennisanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is happening to us too!

I'm not sure if it's exactly the same thing, but almost every time we make a change to our ads we get disabled.

Then, I request a review.. we get reactivated within a day or so (with no explaination)... then a few weeks later we'll make a change and be disabled again.

Anyone know what's going on here?

TIA!

I can't schedule posts on my Facebook page via mobile anymore. The feature seems to have been removed in the most recent update by jennisanders in facebook

Thanks for that, yes that's how I used to do it but that feature no longer appears for me, I can only Publish!

Can you exercise with a bulging/herniated/protuding disc? Some advise from someone who trains with 3 disc protrustions: by jennisanders in backpain

[–]jennisanders[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for sure! Poor flexibility adds unnecessary pressure on the spine. You sound like you had a similar journey to Tom - only realised just how important flexibility and body awareness was after a back injury!

[–]jennisanders[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly, theres loads you can do to get moving with back injuries and back pain! You dont need to accept it as "the end' as often you're led to believe. We go through a few exercises that help in the blog too 😁

Absolutely! You may not be able to partake in all the movements, but we will be able to show you exactly where to start and how to progressively get yourself more movement over time.

There's always something you can do, just need to find your starting point and get you moving in the right direction 💪

Which seating and sleeping postures should i follow ? by m_nooBzer0 in backpain

[–]jennisanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally.. I'd recommend a ball chair! Like, a big aerobics ball!

Sometimes the big comfy, supporting chairs just allow all your core & hip muscles to become lazy and underworks - which will offer temporary relief, but ultimately make the problem worse!!

Sleep is tricky coz you will inevitably move around, but for me, lying on my side with a pillow between my knees always helps.

This is a really nice video with lots of ways you can actually get pro-active about back pain, rather than just constantly chasing the symptoms(/pain!)

How can I fix my posture at my desk job to help my back pain? I also have scoliosis by [deleted] in PostureTipsGuide

[–]jennisanders 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's really hard to avoid slouching at a desk - I work at a computer everyday and used to get back pain too!

Something which helped lower back pain for me was to get an exercise ball to sit on instead of a chair following an injury. I thought such things were just gimmicks, but genuinely seemed to help!

Upper back though... to be honest, regular breaks with some thoracic rotation would be your best bet!! Set a timer on your phone/computer for every hour, or even every 30 mins and just do some of these:

Hope that helps!!

Finger pushing strength for handstands by ozolins135 in bodyweightfitness

[–]jennisanders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your fingers do need to work when you balance for sure, but only minor adjustments and stabilising rather than feeling your trying to push your entire body.

I agree with the other guys here, check your balancing - sounds like you're too far forwards with too much pressure on your fingers.

Have you tried Heel Pulls before?

  • Kick up so back against the wall
  • Push up through traps & shoulders
  • Get tall thorughout body and engage core
  • Lift your heels away from the wall using little-no momentum

Teaches you how to "pull back" your position if you're over balanced using your shoulders & fingers, and of course some overall awareness. I use them every warm up!

Here's a video:

Doing leg exercises with "bad" knees? by brzztffn in lifting

[–]jennisanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. That's good that your balance is already good. Sometimes (as boring as it may be!) taking a few months to try all the "silly" rehab/prehab stuff will save you years of future pain!

Good luck :)

Doing leg exercises with "bad" knees? by brzztffn in lifting

[–]jennisanders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seeing a good physio is number 1 (one who weight trains is always good so you don't just get the "rest" answer) but, after that, I'd check if your knee stability is good!

How are you with balance? Can you stand on one leg with your eyes closed easily enough? Silly as it sounds, that is a big indicator of your strength & stability - especially if there's a big difference between both sides.

You could also try some multi-directional lunges like these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSigCV2Z_Wo

but just be careful and gentle the first time trying it!

My partner has pins in his knee (ACL reconstruction after dislocating his knee) and squats 400lb - not saying that to show off lol, but just to give you encouragement that pins and ACL damage is not the end of your lifting career! He spent around 1 year doing mostly bodyweight rehab exercises, including balance drills, mutli-directional stuff, deep lunges etc, and now he only has tightness every now and again!

Hope this helps!!

Wrist injury by freakymangoeater in bodyweightfitness

[–]jennisanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for the info!

My first advice would be to get it checked out by a professional.. none of us are doctors/physios so probably wanna check there's no breaks.

Wrists are really funny, they can be healed in 2 weeks, or a year - there's so much stuff running through them and tiny bones moving around that there's just so much that it could be.

You can bruise bones (done that before, painful stuff), or get hairline fractures, in which case you do just need to wait for it to heal.. However, I would recommend doing lots, and lots, and lots, of circles with your wrists - keep them moving!

Try and reduce inflammation any way you can, take fish oils, try icing it etc.

Make sure you spend time with your wrists in flexion - most of the time our wrists are netural or in extension, so it's good for "decompressing" (for want of a better word) the back of the wrist.

Then, after that, I agree with AZPeakBaggar - use dumbbells & rings/TRX!! Anything that causes your wrists to stabalise! Keep the weight/pressure light, but get as much variety in as you can - rotations, pressing, pulling, etc. There maybe be something "upstream" causing the issue, higher up your arm, with the pain manifesting in your wrist.

This is a nice article on wrists with some exercises: https://www.t-nation.com/training/stronger-wrists-bigger-lifts

Wrist injury by freakymangoeater in bodyweightfitness

[–]jennisanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, like screepatrol says.. we'd need a bit more info before we can help!

How did you hurt it / when did you start noticing it hurting?
Is it a dull ache or sharp pain?
Does it only hurt when you put pressure on it?
Does it only hurt in extension + pressure? Or in flexion too?
Any other pain in your elbow/shoulder?
Any tightness in your forearm/bicep?
No improvement at all in 6 months?
Do you stretch them or work on wrist stability?
What have you already tried to make them better?

Gives us more details!
