Trigger thumb

Trigger finger, or trigger thumb, is a type of stenosing tenosynovitis in which the sheath around a tendon in a thumb or finger becomes swollen and restricts the tendon's movement. Affected joints may become painful to straighten once bent, and may make a soft crackling sound when moved.

This ailment is sometimes classed as a repetitive strain injury.

Pull the trigger on explosive muscle gains: maximize your muscle gains with the help of this diet, training, and supplementation advice! - Special 4-Page
From Flex, 8/1/03

Hardcore bodybuilders are never satisfied. They always want more muscle, and for good reason. Ripped muscle stacked on top of ripped muscle demands attention in any setting. People just have to stop and stare when someone with a truly muscular body walks past them. Whether you're on the beach, in a nightclub, or training in the gym, you can bet that shredded mass is irresistible to look at. Bodybuilders pour blood, sweat, and tears into their training, dieting, and supplementation programs, hoping to pack on as much shredded muscle as possible. The motto is simple: "the more muscle, the better!" The bottom line is that to be a hardcore bodybuilder you can't just pack on some muscle--you have to pack on maximum mass. The following is a hardcore massbuilding guide that can help you pack on an incredible amount of mass.

Eat Large for Large Gains

Diet is crucial for recovery after hardcore training sessions. Diet is one aspect of your program that you just cannot ignore--your success as a bodybuilder depends on it. Although dietary needs are highly individualized, here's a simple rule of thumb: If your weight hasn't changed in the last little while, try adding 300 to 400 extra calories a day to your diet. And make sure your calories come from high-quality protein sources, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats.

Train Hardcore to Look Hardcore

Hardcore movements like the bench press, squat, military press, bent-over row, barbell curl, and deadlifts are excellent for muscle growth. This is not to say that these movements should be the only exercises you do, but they should be the bread and butter of your training program. To build the most mass while performing these basic exercises, use the heaviest weight you can handle with good form on each rep.

CELL-TECH -The #1 Creatine Supplement in America

Creatine can help you push your workouts longer, and help you lift heavier weights, which can ultimately lead to increased muscle. Even though this sounds great, regular creatine has had to move over and make room for one of the most advanced, revolutionary creatine supplements ever: CELL-Tech. CELL-Tech is the ultimate third-generation creatine product, and the only one you need in your program.

Just how effective is CELL-Tech? In one study, subjects combining CELL-Tech with diet and training gained an average of over 19 times more mass than regular creatine users in 28 days (4.3 vs. 0.22 lbs.). In another study (CELL-Tech versus placebo), CELL-Tech subjects gained an average of over 9 pounds of pure mass in 8 weeks of combining it with diet and weight training. Amazingly, CELL-Tech subjects in this study added an average of 32 pounds to their max bench!

While your results will vary, one extraordinary test subject gained over 17 pounds of pure mass while another added an astonishing 50 pounds to his max bench! And many top IFBB pros are using CELL-Tech as a part of their diet and training programs to help take their physiques to the next level. The individual you see here is an extraordinary athlete and has been remunerated for his appearance.

Incredible pumps in the gym, phenomenal increases in strength, and amazing muscle gains are just a few of the benefits you can experience using CELL-Tech. Make sure you add CELL-Tech to your diet and weight-training program to help you pack on muscle!

Another Advanced Supplementation Tip

Here's another little piece of advice that'll go a long way in helping you make the kind of muscle gains you're looking for. Try stacking CELL-Tech with the advanced whey protein supplement NITRO-Tech in your program. It's become common knowledge that many of today's top pro bodybuilders are using the incredible CELL-Tech/NITRO-Tech stack in their diet and training programs to help them become more muscular than ever! Don't wait any longer, add this incredible musclebuilding stack to your program today!

CELL-Tech and NITRO-Tech are both available at fine health-food stores everywhere. You can also visit MuscleTech on the Web at www.muscletech.com for more information.
