Yeah, I'm using a 25 SLX with a sill brush. I've never noticed it feeling heavy but I suppose muscle tension can build up. Cheers.
Way to heavy a set up in my opinion, I recently dropped some high level jobs and the difference it has made on certain days has been really positive as I was getting shoulder and neck pain.
Yeah, I do. I'm wondering if it's the gym or the job or my sofa that's causing the problem!
Have you got new boots or changed your mattress? Any number of things could be the cause. Try an ice pack, 10 minute spells with 20 minute gaps for 2 hours and some Ibuprofen.
I suggest giving osteopathy a try; it effectively relieved a back pain in just two sessions.
I like my osteopath.
Much of my lower back pain was aggravated by a deep sofa that encouraged slouching, I now have an old man’s upright chair that supports good posture. It has helped a great deal.
@Pit Creature I totally agree with @Iron Giant . I used to work with a 25 foot pole and a standard brush. Switched to an 18 foot SLX pole and an Xtreme Sill brush and have never looked back. I actually have extensions 5 and 6 to take it up to 27 feet (if needed) but will always use the 18 foot pole and a lightweight brush whenever possible. You will definitely be putting alot of strain on yourself. I did try using a slightly heavier brush a few months ago, as I was thinking it would make first cleans easier than using an Xtreme brush because it would have more scrubbing power and therefore less passes on the window, but I was wrong, all it did was make my arms and shoulders ache quicker. Heaviest I use now is a flocked ultimate brush for leaded windows, or sometimes I use a medium supreme - but I always find myself going back to the Xtreme brushes whenever possible. Hope you're back pain starts to ease off mate ?
Has someone been on the Bicardi
Must add to this that I started using Xtreme poles maybe around 8-9 years ago and I have still had injuries but Xtreme 22ft was just my daily, not my bigger poles which don't get that much use in comparison which are SLX, I was using a 45ft pole on some jobs but dropped some of those and have managed to do some with a shorter 35-37ft pole I got the most grief and fatigue on the days I need to use the 45ft even though it was only a few jobs at most 2 days in the month and had one well paid job that has just dropped until Spring
so sections 9 & 10 are now in the graveyard aka my garage and may or may not be brought back into use.
