Recent news discounts positive effect of drug, Paracetmatol, aka Acetominophen as found in Tylenol and other OTC meds for relief of lower back pain.

Of course, not all lower back pain has same cause and  some meds may offer relief.  I do know some guys pop 3 or 4 before activity, and maybe 3/4 after in hopes of less pain or more mobility. Also, above study only considers one part of body.  Tylenol may offer benefit to other joints.

I learn so much from TST.

Great vids...

While I attempt overall exercise - Joey D, Rowing, Kettlebells, stretching, I also use a foam roller and sport ball for back, butt, and legs (front and back). My recent pickup was a Teeter Inversion Table ...  they had some blemished or returned machines. I've used it for a little over a month and it helps the back. It also helps get blood into the brain and gets those vessels working for you. Can't do complete inversion for very long, but one can get it at about 60 deg, more or less, with comfort for 3-5 minutes. I start out the day with it, and after workouts, golf, mowing the lawn, etc..

I was on the course the other day and my play partner mentioned 'inversion table' (IT) and i wondered the benefits. News report i just read found very little , if any, benefit of IT for low back pain.  Cautions for those with hypertension, glaucoma or heart troubles. If you are unfamiliar with the 'upside down' position the blood rushing to your head and eyes esp can give you short term problems.

Yes, I heard the same thing for a couple of years - caution.

I am a guy with coronary issues, and like anything else, I use machines as a tool to obtain the results I want. Like any machine or sport, don't overdo it. Read the second to last sentence of my post.

I found that going immediately to  full inversion, places a lot of pressure into the head -- so don't do it. I go to slight inversion, then 60 degrees and relax, then later, full inversion briefly to stretch things out. You do not need to go full inversion to obtain the benefits. When I go to full inversion, it's not for more than 15 seconds or so.

There are critics of inversion like any therapy. I can talk about actual use. Typically, I would strain a back muscle for weird reasons - bend over and not lift anything, lift a little too much weight, etc. weird stuff that typically occurred twice a month ...

Not since I began using the Teeter. And it's a quality table. Your mileage may vary.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, something I noticed yesterday at the range. My eyes and visualization of what the ball needs to do is way off. I put up an alignment stick about 10 yards down range. My initial thought was, "Oh crap". Even while wearing prescription sunglasses, and I know I am hitting it towards the sun, I couldn't pick up where the ball was at all.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By iacas · Posted

      Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Can't remember who but some wise guy said "Arms up, body around"..😉. Anywho, been working on pinning my lead arm less and less to my chest in the BS. Decent progress with the arms, need a lot of work and trust for the 'body around' part.
