2 years since i last posted? wow. hi if anyones still got any interest :D

thought id have a look around, see if any of my subscribed threads were still going, and just put a marker down as to...

no mate, no contact with anyone these days and all going well at present thanks. ive had a few injuries that have kept me away from the gym for a few months at a time, rotator cuff, tendonitis etc...

not sure what youve been watching on youtube, maybe bars wedged between doorframes that fail? ive got one of these 'powerbars' for pull-ups/chins and theres no way thatll fail, it actually pushes...

dont post these days but still following his P/P/L routine and checking the thread every now and then......

im still around, had a few tweaks that have kept me away from the gym for a while, rotator cuff, then tendonitis, but had a decent run for a few months again now. still doing pretty much the same...

just a bit of a catch up......... ive slowly been improving my lifts but nowhere near what i got up to before. ive come to realise that my shoulder will never be back to full strength at my age now...

for those that are still hanging in there........

i know that makes sense mate, but when it first came on i thought id just rest it and get cracking again when it eased. it never eased. then i thought ill see what the doctors say first but took...

could be right mate, bit late now tho. if and when i can get back on it ill probs go back to level with nipples to be on safe side.

got a weeks intensive shoulder rehab...

im still here, havent been able to train for a few months now and have only just been able to get into doctors for a rehab session. as expected, dr and physio both say its rotator cuff and have...

id like to play devils advocate here and say yes, this is fine for a beginner too. at the end of the day youre both in the gym doing the same exercises, enjoying yourselves and youre lifting lumps...

mainly yes. altho its hard to pinpoint. keeps me awake some nights too especially as i tend to rotate a lot during the night :-) if it makes any sense, sometimes i can be just sat or laid doing...

so push/pull/legs/push/pull and repeat?? no 2nd legs day? on set days of the week? nooooooo........ if youre doing P/P/L you need to forget about how many times per week youre doing it and set...

thats what i feared the advice would be. makes sense i spose but soooo frustrating. appointment made with the doc.

i know i shouldnt self-diagnose, but my shoulders in a lot of pain these days and google suggests its maybe rotator cuff. im over 50 and work out most days so that doesnt help. its been like this...

havent posted for a while due to a mixture of time off work, shoulder pain and being busy at home building stuff.

the end result is ive pretty much had 2 months off training, figures are well down...

back after around 3 weeks off. good to see the scales still showed me around the same weight as when i left, but i lost a little strength and stamina. thought i may as well start back on PUSH....
