Strength Training Injuries are Better with Injury Butter

Ok, so I’m not using actual butter in my strength training, but I am using what I call “Injury Butter” made with Cayenne pepper.  Recently a friend reminded me of the health beni’s and I realized I had a bottle of caps so I decided to start taking them again. Pre-Disclaimer:

Strength Training and Stretching

Watch Out When You’re Stretching for Strength Training Why?  Well, obviously I haven’t posted for a little while.  Since my hip started popping I thought I’d go back to the basics and do a lot of assistance/accessory work to bring all those little muscle back into shape.  Also, I figure I

No Nanna’s Allowed.  If you’re into excuses, then this strength training site isn’t for you.  Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out.  But… If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.  I was going to start a forum but I don’t have that much time in my life.

It doesn’t matter what kind of strength training you’re into, you should be able to find at least a little information about anything to do with getting stronger on this site.

I am a “raw” (unequipped) powerlifter, but my goal here is to help educate more people about actual, “real” strength training, and the benefits and pitfalls along the way by using my experiences (and others) as a guide.

Strength training gives you functional usable muscle that not only looks good, but like I just said…..It’s useful.  (Plus, I get asked all the time if I’m a bodybuilder.  Argh, no I am not a bodybuilder.  I just like picking up heavy stuff.)  Plus, with functional useful muscle, you will be less likely to get injured when you decide to go for a weekend rugby game or something.

Let me point out real quick here… I am not a personal trainer.  I “was” a personal trainer at one time but found that I only liked training “motivated” people.  However, many times you still have to deal with those bozos that make their New Years resolution and want to get buff or ripped or lose 428.6lbs in 17days cuz they saw it on tv.  Uhhhh.  Soo, I still really enjoy providing great information to people on strength training and want to help others avoid some of the crappy mistakes I’ve made along the way.

I’ll be happy to give my opinion if you ask. But if I make a recommendation and it doesn’t work perfect for you, don’t start whining or complaining or trying to sue me for just trying to help you out. I am not a doctor, or a lawyer, or a physical therapist, or a yogi, or a hairstylist, or a stripper (at least not anymore), or or or…..

So, just remember…..

IT’S NOT TOO HEAVY, YOU’RE JUST TO WEAK!

Now go pick up something heavy!
