I measured a total testosterone level (total testosterone) and saw it was on the minimum. Being only 43, it got me down.
Talking to a trainer, he told me that low test level is caused by my "too...

Hm, interesting. To gain no more than 0.5 kg a month. That will be tricky! I think this happened when I was on 2500 kcal and I could not notice any progress.
Anyway, I am now back to 2600kcal and...

Thanks, everyone for suggestions. I did not get a clear answer, but I did not expect one (nor it's possible). But you gave me a new standpoint to take care of.

I will try to push on intensity for...

Good point. But I have no answers to it :). I have never had a 44-year-old body before so I am still trying to understand how it reacts to bulking. BTW my age, based on those not-so-accurate machines...

Thanks, old fart! :)

So you are suggesting that I stay at 80kg at move diet up or down 100 (or more) kcal so I do not move up (nor down) on the scale? Shall I only play around with carbs when going down/up to maintain...

Damn, I forgot to tell that I did not immediately jump to 2750 kcal. I first jumped to 2500 for like the whole Nov and Dec. Then moved to 2600, then 2700, and as of a week or two, I am on 2750 kcal....

Intro: I am 181cm tall (5.94 ft) and almost 44 yrs old. After neglecting my body for 8 years, I returned to the gym in Oct 2018 and did 1 year of cutting + return to proper nutrition eating around...

I've increased fat level to 72g (0.4, instead of 0.3 as before). I will see if this will solve gas issues and if it will make additional fat around my belly.
thanks guys for your advices

Gotcha. Thanks!

Since 55g is not much, I tend to eat only quality fat so it's basically: nuts, eggs and fat from red meat. And minority of fat is coming from low-fat cheese or yoghurt.

My current weight is...

I know that "eating fat does not make you fat" :). I was asking how to "squeeze" this into my 55g fat plan. Are you saying that 55g of fat is bad macro cause it's not .4 (but more like .28) formula?...

1 normal egg has 5g of quality fat and 7g of super-quality protein (many pros say it's the best and the one we should take).
Aside of this, I am on lean-bulk diet taking around 2800 cal a day (400g...

Ok, I will try to test with the food. Thanks guys for the advice.

I took pictures of my left and right shoulders. There are 2 images of right shoulder as I could not get the proper light to best show the problem.

To me, it looks like my right-hand delt is...

Where in the shoulder: front, lateral or back?
Can you sleep on the shoulder that has a pain? Does it pain in the morning?

Does it happen: all the time, after execise or during the exercise? Does...

This could be it as I used to have similar issues in the past when I would suddenly and uncontrollably eat a lot of carbs. I will try with OTC. Do you know how long it should take for my body to...

I will try with OTC. I think that it is probably cause I suddenly started eating 1000 calories more. Yet again, shouldn't it adapt in 5 weeks.

Regarding a food causing it, my menu is literary the...

Like 5 weeks ago I started lean bulking after being on cutting for 5 months (approx 1800 cal) with daily calorie intake of approx 2800 cal (400g carbs, 180g protein, 55g fat). The food basically...

In 30s I noticed that my ribs are getting more and more flared which has increased during couple of years while I was not doing any serious exercise.
Now, in the past 8 months I have regulated my...
