Put the car in reverse, looked back and said "Wow, this really takes me back".

If you can get a laparoscopic repair, I'd highly recommend it. I've had both conventional and laparoscopic repairs and the downtime for the latter is significantly less. Also less pain and a small...

Congrats on the progress! How tall are you, if you don't mind me asking.

Interesting that squats aggravate your shoulder. I had a similar issue years ago because I was trying to support some of the bar weight with my arms, which put a lot of non-natural strain on my...

Had the same issue and for me it was due to supination / pronation of the wrist during pullups, pendlay rows, and curls. I had a tendency to curl my wrist in or out to get that last little inch or...

Used to be nearly every workout, now it is very rare due to shoulder issues. Mostly used for landmine presses now. For benching I use a multi-grip bar.

Regarding deadlifts, you might want to consider using a hex bar instead of a barbell. It takes some of the stress off the lower back but you still get the benefit of the legs/glutes.

Great work and very nice progress!

Quick question, what do you mean by "5-8 sets of 12-5 reps"? 5 reps heavy and/or 12 sets lighter?

That was a great read and just what I was looking for. Thanks!

There is this one:...

I hear ya. I think most have this:

Dips. My shoulders no likey.

What worked for me is doing kettle bell curls, but try to keep the kettle bell from rotating as you curl it up. To do this you will be required to grip it like hell. My forearms were on fire after...

Not sure if it will work for you, but as a reference I had the same problem and resolved it by focusing on trying to pull my elbows straight down during lat pulldowns or pulling my elbows straight...

I had laparoscopic repair two weeks ago, and they made 3 holes. One in my belly button and one on each side (3-4" away) of my belly button. No cuts were made in my groin area.

Also add that I...

Thanks much for the feedback. Wasn't sure about the buttwink and for me it is really hard to not do even with just the bar.
