Shoulder Injury
Crossfit Rotator Cuff Rehab
“So I’ve just finished a 2 month trial of the supplement called GLC2000 which aims to improve the health of joints and connective tissues. After opting not to have surgery on my torn rotator cuff, torn labrum and torn cartilage I was looking for ways to reduce the pain and aggravation in my shoulder from training whilst I rehabbed it and built it stronger again. Quite simply, this stuff has done an excellent job. I can’t observe that I’m ‘not ... read more
Lee Howe – Labrum Tear Recovery
Recovering from Shoulder surgery 2x as fast with GLC2000 Over the years the left side of my upper body has been battered through competing in Crossfit. Back in 2010 I lost a heavy kettlebell snatch behind me and refused to drop the ‘bell. This caused me to dislocate my left shoulder. My shoulder got popped back in and I rested it. Gradually it improved, and I began training again. I wasn’t aware that I had torn my labrum as my ... read more

Since my early teens I have always wanted to be a boxer. I had my first amateur bout in 2004 at the age of 13, and after 10 years and countless fights as an amateur I obtained my professional boxing license. Understandably I threw myself even more into my training, excited for my first fight. Unfortunately, in the lead up to my professional debut I sustained a severe shoulder injury whilst training. It quickly became apparent that I would not ... read more
Shoulder Rehab Q&A // Samantha Briggs
At the highest level of sport, injuries do happen. Crossfit athletes are constantly pushing the envelope of fitness, moving heavier weights, faster, and for more reps. This ever increasing volume constantly puts strain on joints and connective tissues, which are much slower to adapt and repair than muscle. Most of the time injuries can be overcome by resting appropriately, eating well and with the use of smart supplementation. However, surgery is required in some severe cases, and we were lucky ... read more

‘Crossfit Games Masters Athlete Overcoming Shoulder Impingement & Elbow Tendinitis’ I first heard of GLC2000 when I competed in the 4 nations Crossfit competition in July 2014. Other Crossfit masters athletes on the team where already using it and it came highly recommended. “GLC2000 meant I was no longer scared of lifting heavy overhead” I’ve had a shoulder impingement for years that I just tried to control with pain relief. It would cause my problem for over head lifts and ... read more
Maintaining Joint Health As We Age
As we age, things that we could once do without a second thought leave us aching and feeling sore. Repeating this process over time starts to cause little niggles or can lead to serious injuries. Aches and niggles can drastically affect our quality of life and happiness. They can stop us pursuing a sport or hobby that we love, make things tougher at work or even impact family life ie struggling to play with our kids or grandchildren. Whilst many ... read more

Mobility, Recovery & Injury Prevention for Weightlifters Weightlifting is a tough sport, there are so many benefits that come from strength training, however recovery and looking after yourself is very important. A few weeks ago we helped our coach out being demo models and extra pairs of eyes when he was running a beginners Olympic Weightlifting seminar, one of the things he said that stuck with me (other than all of the very interesting technical pointers) was when he asked ... read more

Fixing My Elbow and Shoulder Issues I’ve had long standing elbow and shoulder injuries for years, these have affected my work and training.

GLC2000 costs me less than £25 per month for better results Since the summer, I’ve been able to get more consistent ... read more

I’d get terrible pain and weakness, certain movements proved especially painful like snatch, toes to bar and even burpees hurt! They were also sore at night often waking me and ruining my sleep, I was not only in pain but exhausted too. It became a vicious cycle of resting my shoulders then training them only for them to become sore again. I became ... read more

GLC2000 means I’m back competing Before competing in the 2014 Crossfit regionals I injured my shoulder. I decided to compete anyway and this unsurprisingly only made my shoulder worse. After the event I rested my injured shoulder for over a month and it still wasn’t any better. I decided to order some GLC2000, I’m so glad that I did.. After using GLC2000 for 3 weeks I was able to start hanging off a pull up bar pain free. After completing ... read more

My Shoulder is no longer a worry I dislocated a shoulder playing basketball in college in USA. I had surgery to sort it, and everything seemed fine. I had no pain until I started lifting again months later. Lifting again caused me constant aches and pains, and so I thought my career would be short lived. Willing to try anything I got some GLC2000 when it first came on the scene off a friend and have taken it religiously since ... read more

My name is Amy Laffan I am a personal trainer, European Regional level Crossfitter, and soon to be hitting Irish qualifying total for the Olympics. I wouldn’t have done any of this without GLC2000. It was during the 2013 Crossfit Open that I injured my shoulder. Being stubborn I pushed through, bar muscle ups did me no favours. I rested for a couple of days and continued to push through the open workouts. The range of motion in my shoulder ... read more

“GLC2000 is wonderstuff” Just wanted to let you know that GLC2000 is a “wonderstuff”. I have been taking GLC2000 for approx 2 months – it started working within days of taking it. I have suffered from a shoulder impingement for over a year, in fact last year it was so bad I couldn’t lift any weights at all and being a keen CrossFitter that wasn’t good. In last year’s CrossFit Games Open I could only manage 1 Wall Ball (sad ... read more

“GLC2000 – Helping me achieve my potential” After 18 months of Crossfit my body was starting ache. High volume squatting and pressing was leaving me with a nasty pain in both my knees and in my left shoulder, bench pressing was extremely difficult. I had tried several brands of omega 3 and joint support to no avail. GLC2000 was recommended to me by fellow Crossfitter Samantha Briggs so I decided to give it a try. Three months later, after taking ... read more

“GLC2000 is helping my shoulder & recovery” Having read testimonials about GLC2000 it all seemed a bit too good to be true.

I am a Weightlifting coach and personal trainer, with a competitive powerlifting background. I am competitive by nature, and have done well in previous masters competitions. But the last year or so I had become very injury prone; ... read more

I avoided a serious shoulder operation with GLC2000 After a year of shoulder pain I am finally back to full training with no discomfort and more importantly NO OPERATION …. Unbelievable! I have been dealing with a severely inflamed AC joint for the past year. Scans showed that there was bone-on-bone contact on overhead movements. It was recommended that I have surgery to shave away some of the excess…. (or give up weight training – ha!) I’d heard a few ... read more

‘How GLC helped me avoid shoulder & hip surgery’ GLC2000 – “My genie in a bottle” Surgery seemed like the only option I had left to deal with my shoulder issues, but it wasn’t a road I was ready to travel down.

I suffered a complete labrum tear and damage to the subscapularis when I dislocated my shoulder doing a demonstration in ... read more
