Question: What is the absolute worst thing you can do when you have a fucked up shoulder?

Answer: Whatever I did today.

In keeping with my “Get busy living or get busy dying” injury rehab protocol I decided to just do some heavy pulls and push-presses. I figured the hanging, yanking and thrusting would shock the nagging injury right out of my shoulder. Yeah, I thought of that idea all by myself, but it's your's to use now too if you want.

It actually may have worked, if feels a lot looser. Either that or it’s just still totally numb from the severe amount of new internal damage I just did to it. But unfortunately, since I read on Facebook yesterday that some Crossfit guru has come out and declared icing injuries is no longer good and since I read it on Facebook it has to be accurate, I can no longer ice my joints. I’m really caught between a rock and a hard place now. He has me all confused, I just don’t know what to do now. I might just try to bathe it in coconut water and swab it with jerky, I’ll see what the guru thinks about that.
