Great set of videos. I am beginning to think that what I have is TOS. I've been trying to correct a combo of poor t-spine mobility and poor external shoulder rotation for almost 9 months without a whole lot of success, however my scalenes and pecs are SUPER tight. I can't ever turn my neck 45deg to either side. I might go down this path of stretching... and maybe someday I'll be able to rack a front squat.
That's funny as you're not the only one who's said that! Instead, it is 22 years of continuous, never ending, gut-wrenching lifting. I hate it but I love it. It's my healthy "addiction". After 22 years, I had better look big!
I take creatine, protein and other supplements which certainly help the training process. And is 21 years of lifting that good for you? In one way, yes, in another way, no as it is a lot of stress to the joints. With that said, I would now recommend that people use moderate weights so that their joints are not so damaged over long periods (years) of training.
You are right about using moderate weights or at least cycling weights, meaning using light for a few weeks, medium for a few weeks and heavy for a few weeks, This hits all fiber types, and works both the small (intrinsic) and large (extrinsic) muscle groups. I created some problems for myself by overdeveloping the larger groups; therefore I had stability issues due to the smaller muscles being too weak, which I later corrected.
