that's awful! are you okay now? as soon as my insurance kicks in i'm going to my doctor

this is one of the most bizarre posts that i've ever read on here. i don't think it's funny either. how did he get onto a long board without a c-collar? you're darn right you'd get yelled at if you did that around here!

somehow my post disappeared! sorry, i just noticed it! darn black holes of the interwebs! anyway, i think it might be the weightlifters headache. i'm making sure that i breathe when i do the push ups, but i might be tensing mah neck! also, the area between my shoulder blades is really tense...

me, too...NO WAAAY would i let one touch me either. along with regular exercise, i think that yoga and massage can be life savers!

okay, so i'm in recruit school, and i'm working my bum off trying to build upper strength. we have our class workouts on M,W,F, and on the off days i am still working on my push ups and core. i'm getting stronger and fitter for sure, but i'm having a real problem while i do push ups. i get a...

i agree...less funny, more sad. poor guy. that's just horrible

i don't have anything earth shattering to say, but i did want to chime in a bit. first, you've gotten a lot of good advice here. ems/fire is not an easy road to go or an easy group to get in with. however, once you are in, you are golden. bossy cow is a wealth of information, and you should...

well, i always keep track of my weight lifting by writing it down in a notebook, and i just realized i don't have it with me. so, i'll have to write that down later. i can tell you that i got my lifting routine from a book called G-Force: The Ultimate Guide To Your Best Body Ever by Gunnar...

chin up, nremt08! it looks like you haven't posted much around here and that's okay! sometimes people come across a little differently over the internet. when i first started posting on message boards i had that problem, too. then, i figured out how not to get mad at the internet. this was me...

you make a really good point. also, i'm sure a lot of us know what it's like to work our asses off, be treated like crap, and have people still look down on us. in general i treat people with respect--ESPECIALLY, if they are working regardless of the job. i will even be more mindful of being...

aw, i think it's sweet that he didn't want you to go through his briefcase. just a fella who is into jesus who likes to get his jiggy on! nothin' wrong with that!--except that is NOT a medical emergency:)
