Has anybody heard of rolfing?
According to massage therapists, it releases connective tissue & fascia throughout the body caused from years of physical training. "Practitioners of Rolfing believe it to enhance vitality and well-being, and claim that after sessions, many clients stand up straighter, gain in height, and that soft-tissue bodily asymmetries tend to disappear." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolfing)
Unfortunately this an expensive treatment, & is fairly new. Therapists recommend that you take at least ten sessions to reap the real benefits of it. And based on my wife's report on it as a therapist herself (who also has injuried) I'd like to check it out. I just though i'd share...

interesting
never heard of it, but i do know fascial message is amazingly helpful and it makes perfedt sense to me that it would help increase muscle growth and grwoth of all your tissues (tendons, ligaments, skeleteal muscle, etc.) because it helps release those tense tight muscles and specifically the fasica or the like "wrapping" on you rmuscles which can cause a lot of pain if it doesnt grwo as fast as your muscles.

Rolfing seems to break down
Rolfing seems to break down the fibers deep within; to seperate them to allow for better flexibility & overall balance & strength, health & longevity... of course, this is according to my wife.
I should get her to write a few blogs on massage therapy & how it relates to what we're trying to achieve here on MFT. Would you guys like that?
Gavin!! Where you been
Gavin!! Where you been bro!?!?! Yeesh aint seen you in what feels like forever. I know you're busy busy man, so whats the update on life with you?
Well...
My brother from another mother...lol
The only exciting thing going on in my life right now is that i've made up my mind to go after my personal training cert.
Hopefully I can go take the test next month... we'll see. I just need to buckle down & read the damn book. lol
Other than that bro, lots of bbq's. As a matter of fact, I have one to go to this Sunday. Oh, on the training side, i'm sure you read my blog just before this... i'm sore as hell right now. But the good news is that I weighed myself lastnight & quite supprisingly i'm still weighing exactly 200lbs. But i'm not up to gaining weight & all that other stuff anymore. I'll tell you what though, I don't know how long I can keep up this "just training to stay healthy" bit. I've never done that before... always had a competitive goal in mind.
Damn! I forgot something... i've also been fooling around with music again (after about 15 years of not doing shit). I've had this song in my head since then & have tried to get my dad to record it all these years. Anyhow, long story short, i've decided that I need to get my 1-hit done & out in the open. So I just bought myself a program that would allow me to record it. Frankly, I don't care if I do nothing else when it's done. I just want my one song out so I can finally hear it the way i've heard it in my head for 15 years.
What have you guys been up to? How's the training? What's goin on with Bobby (my other bro)??
Nice
Well my bro and I just found an apartment, we're moving to Pittsburgh. Goign to Pitt for a bare minimum of 2 years, probably 3 if i dont want to do summer classes.
My wrist has been diagnosed as 'chronic inflamation'. So im out for 3 weeks, im on week 2 right now, and im pulling my hair out. Legs and cardio is all i can do.
Working a lot at GNC, and trying to not get upset about not being able to go to the gym.
Just found out the one "all natural" guy at the gym that I am sort of competing against is probably "all natural" like he said he is, and is taking D-bol. Trying to uncover the truth, but if he is, I'm gonna be upset lol. He's always trying to outdo me, hasnt yet, and makes a huge ordeal out of it.
Always some drama...
So both you & Will are injured? Damn... I just hope you guys take s ome time out to reflect on yourselves, not to mention heal properly! I'll be heading to "the beaches jazz fest." tonight with my wife just to hang out. Then we have a bbq to go to tomorrow. Hope you have a great weekend too bro. But before that, I have legs (i'm still sore as hell from last week). Remind me never to stop for so friggin long next time I decide to take a break. It hurts like hell getting back lol.
