    You will feel a lot stronger than you actually are. You'll also run out of breath a lot sooner.

    I didn't end up doing it. "One or two drinks" turned into four or five. Oops.

    Yesterday morning I was in doing overhead press and I think I strained my shoulder. Hurts a good bit right now, so I may need to just do legs for a week while I let it heal up.

    A strain isn't an injury. It's just a little speed bump. Get out there and give 'er hell. YOLO

    Felt a little something in my shoulder on OHP yesterday, luckily was my last rep of the day. Don't think it's anything too bad though.

    If you ain't torn nothing, it'll heal up. Like I said...give it a week and then :dealwithit:

    Oddly enough, that's not always the case, especially if it's a tendonosis. Tendonitis is inflammation of the connective tissue. Tendonosis is improper or only partial healing of the soft tissue.

    In the case of tendonosis, it's sometimes better to go balls out for one session and try and rip the muscle off the bone and cause maximum damage, then give it a good month or so to heal.

    D2 GZCL UHF EFD

    I think I made a mistake of not considering CGBP does not equate to sling shot weight wise.

    CGBP 250# 4,4,7
    Pause DL 305# 3,3,3,3,3,3,5 (last set I was extra cunty and did it Snatch grip. Lord Klokov would be happy)

    So i just FS up to 260. Me thinks I could use that instead of lower weight HB on D6. I had to use my wrist straps to get a good rack position. I dont got dat wrist flexibility. More Supple Leopard work. Fuck.

    What do you think hensleya

    newbie request

    I would appreciate anyone whos willing to help. if this post is unrelated I can delete.

    Can someone help me design a 180g protein, 2000 calorie / day diet? I'm cutting down to 180ish lb (from 200 lb)

    I dont mind repetitive eating. Bonus points for helping me with a good macro count.

    Willing to get / spend on anything, not looking for overly complicated recipes, can eat simple things like chicken breasts and egg whites.

    I've got whey protein of course, a scoop is 20g and 130 cal.

    Shoot for a 35%p/40%c/25%f ratio for a month and see how that works. Buy a bunch of chicken, rice, potatoes, lean red meat, turkey, fish, olive oil and mix that shit together any way you want. Buy a lot of hot sauce and low calorie marinades

    Candito and GZCl UHF are so hot right now. If you go Candito add a bench day. His program doesn't do a bench really well.

    2 weeks into the GZCL 9-week I like it a lot. Thought it would be weird/tough doing legs and chest pretty much everyday but actually acclimated to it pretty quickly since 2 of the chest days are really light weight

    Resort gym isn't half bad. Dumbbells up to 80 lbs. No real barbell stuff except for a smith machine so I just used the DBs and a few of the other machines (cable stuff, hypers, leg curls, etc...). Glad I'm not taking a long full deload before starting back next Tuesday.

    high frequency of benching in the GZCL combined with boxing 3 days a week giving me tendinitis in my left arm where tricep connects to elbow. had to cut short bench yesterday and gonna skip it for a couple more days. still got 275 3 x 3 before skipping the rep out set so I can handle taking a break for a few days

    did someone say that using DB for chest was easier on joints or was that just maybe shoulder specific? wouldn't mind subbing a heavy DB Bench for the Slingshot Bench since I have no intention of getting that slingshot contraption

    I don't know if this is a dumb question or not, but do people cycle on and off of creatine or just take it continuously?
