If it is an exertion headache I used to get them the first year or two I started training hard. As my conditioning has improved considerably I don't get them anymore.

But yeah, see a...

I would also add in lots of functional conditioning (tire flips, sledge hammer, ropes, box jumps, climbing walls, sleds, medicine ball, etc.), mobility and stretching.

I've done that but I would only recommend someone very lean trying to get to sub 10% body fat do that diet. I did his Ultimate Diet 2.0. It was brutal, the results were amazing but sadly short...

Just be aware that initial weight loss is more of the body's glycogen and water weight adjusting. So even if you stay consistent the rate of loss will not. Just don't let it get in your head that...

The more body fat you have the easier it is to drop large amounts of weight fast. Without knowing your BF% is't hard to get exact figures, but if I plug in 28% as a wild guess that puts you around a...

It's ok to bastardise that program as long as the basics remain, which includes the deload week. I've been doing 5/3/1 for about 3 years now and the last year has been with the body building...

LOL, but there is only so many lyrics about strippers and weed that I can take. Guess I'm getting old.

Often the typical thug music at the gym gets irritating but when Justin Bieber comes on it really kills me. Ugh, nothing like setting up for a heavy lift and then the Biebs comes on. I've had to...

Well, I like Mark Sission on some things but it's all about calories.

You would be best served by starting here, http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=156380183 and using something like...

I don't think it would be possible to gain all fat and no muscle if you are lifting, or even not lifting. That's just your mind getting to you. The margins of error and fluctuations are just too...

My first recommendation would be to see a good non-surgical sports orthopedic doctor. Stuff like this is their specialty.

I suffered for over 10 years with a similar issue although not as bad as...

When you start back on maintenance or a surplus I would consider resetting your training weights for your program to get setup for a long run of the program. For Wendler that would be using your...

Two weeks is too short a time period to judge. That isn't even a full mesocycle. 531 is something you run for at a year or more.

How did you set your working weights? The BBB accessory work...

I recently switched away from overhead press to incline bench because of issues with injuring my traps. I'm doing flat and flies as well. My sports ortho also had me get rid of all deltoid...

I'm not sure about your stats, height, body fat %, activity level, etc. but I would expect you to drop weight from 195 lbs on an average 2250 calories. I can slow cut on that myself.

If given realistic expectations that's not so bad.

I'd suggest changing up the training and doing something like a beginners or intermediate strength program for a while to bump up the intensity...

Posture is one of the big tricks for the before/after photos. Although 20% bf will have a bit of a belly.

You'd need to get down to < 11% body fat or so to make it really go away. Same for your...

It sounds like a recovery issue (diet, sleep and time for recovery).

Maintenance calories, rest and deloads won't harm progress and are needed if you are to stick with it for months/years.

That stall is something many/most dieters will experience. You should reevaluate the basics and just stay consistent. While you can drop weight and add muscle the total should still be a net loss...

You'll drive yourself crazy worrying about that. There are too many variables going on to be able to tell on a day to day basis. It always feel like muscle is the only thing going away and fat isn't...
