I had a labrum tear that took several years to get over and just this year have been able to do any over head pressing (still light weight), or bicep curls. You would have to check with your doc...

It's mostly genetics. My wife is around 20% and is very vascular in her arms and shoulders.

I didn't read all the replies but the first thing I notice is that you have a lot of "empty" calories. * greek yogurt isn't very filling * protein shake isn't very feeling * dark chocolate ?? *...

I remember arguing with people on this forum early on about how many calories I was eating. It wasn't until I started weighing (by the gram) everything that went in my mouth that I realized how many...

I might be way off here but I think 1% BF for each 1.6 pounds lost is a little optimistic.

At some point you will have to start tracking calories to know exactly how much your eating. That includes weighing food and not just looking at the nutrition label. You might be at that point.

I have been "stalled" for the last 3 - 4 weeks myself. I know I had some days I ate at maintenance so I didn't freak out and change anything. This past week the loss has started up again. If your...

Some people find they don't have the amount of muscle they thought they had at the end of a cut and still don't like the end result. I'm kind of in the middle right now and the abdomen fat is really...

I take progress pics every month and was averaging an 8 pound loss up until late April. I see a difference in every progress pic. I will take my June pic next week with only about a 4 pound loss for...

Week 9: 188.6

I won't be participating in the June/July challenge, I will probably go to maintenance before it's complete. Spradish - thanks for putting this together and tracking.

I started out at 218 and planned to go to 180 and start a bulk. I've changed my thinking as I'm closer to 180 and will go to 175 before my bulk now. I wanted to be at 15% BF before I started bulking...

I've been dealing with elbow and shoulder injuries for about 3 years now. Shoulders were labrum tear and rotor cuff. Shoulders are better now but still pop on certain movements, but no pain with the...

Sounds good. I'll sub the neutral grip for rows and keep the face pulls I do now and add them to this routine.

I currently do cable rows or DB rows. Just took them out of this plan until I start bulking. I can certainly add them in this plan if it would be beneficial.

Thanks - currently I'm doing more and I'm not increasing weight or reps but I'm not having to drop any weight to do the same number of sets/reps as the previous workout. That's with SSing some...

I'm still nursing some injuries but getting a lot better. Since I'm cutting, I'm just trying to preserve muscle for now and I'm thinking of modifying my workout routine until I start bulking, then...

I chose not to have mine repaired a few years back and I'm just starting to be able to lift again. I would be curious to know how your recovery works out. Good luck to you and hope you have a quick...

Week 8: 192.0

Two straight camping weekends in a row has done a number on my steady weight loss. One more camping trip planned for this weekend. I have been as low as 188 in the last few weeks so...

Well my camping trip over the weekend sidelined my loss for this week...plus I caved last night and binged on carbs. Another camping trip this weekend so I will be pushing it to meet my goal for this...

I had the same problem and right now after loosing almost 30 pounds I feel tiny. Most of my friends are 300 plus pounds, a couple are pushing 450, so I really look small when I'm with those guys....
