Coming back from an injury can be tricky especially when you mind is more ready to lift than your body is! You didnt go into any detail on your shoulder injury or subsequent rehab (if any) so its...

Great lift - loved that moment when he stabilized and realized he made it!

Soreness like that isnt that surprising given you are working muscles in a way you havent before.

Listen to your body- if you havent recovered from the DL in the last 2 weeks you need to change something up. I would try once a week at that weight. Without knowing your workout routine or goals...

I had a friend train for one and he spent a ton of time doing road work (mostly up to 5ks) and spent a ton of time on pull ups, wall climbs.

Doesnt sound like you would have any time for the gym. I think your best bet is to focus on some body weight stuff you can do around the house and clean up your diet.

Best gains would require a...

I would keep an eye on it. From what I understand about hernias they are a tear in the muscles around your mid section. Once the muscles tear and the abdominal wall is breached, they dont heal on...

Big fan of overhead presses - hit 5 rep of 165 yesterday. I always do OHP standing vs in a seated position.

Sounds like you arent going the floor leveler route. As a word to other folks considering it, if you do use floor leveler, make sure you have enough stall mats or a lifting platform on top of the...

Depends on how you are thinking about "working out" - if you are dead set on buying Reebok because of the sale, it depends what you are going to do in the shoes. If you are just goiing to be...

Never heard of a pull up bar cracking the plaster of a wall before. I would think about buying a pull up bar that screws into the door jam (vs sitting ontop of the door molding) I would think that...

Is there a particular movement that causes the pain or place on your shoulder where the pain is (front/side)? Lots of things going on in the shoulder joint so as Flounderbout pointed out, its...

Donmarkham - keep fighting the good fight and stay positive even when there are set backs. I've got some back issues that cause limitations for me but I know I'm better off pushing my self in the...

I usually keep a bunch of healthier snacks around my desk like - nuts (almonds, pecans etc), beef jerky, or high protein greek yogurt. That usually keeps me in check before my next meal.

Also,...

I try to avoid squatting with mirrors - realistically it doesnt do much for spotting technique issues since you are in motion. JWoodCF10 is right about using a cell phone to video yourself - much...

forearm, tricep, and shoulder stretches before working out would be best. Take care of it sooner vs late so you dont end up with something way more bothersome like tendinitis.

eat everything in sight and lift heavy!

diet, diet, diet... eat a ton of veggies (fiber) every meal

Sounds like you got a lot going on...

I think the best place to start would be to get yourself to a dr and get a baseline for where you are - cholesteral, weight, body fat, any other issues (for...

There are a ton of sprint programs out there but if you are just starting out I would try something along the lines of:

6 x 400M with a 1:2 work:rest ratio. As you progress over a few weeks try...
