IM 40 NOT 48! stupid website won't let me change it lol
Hi, over the past year for No reason! my shoulders have got 3 times weaker, yet every other muscle group has stayed the same,( actually got alittle stronger).
I have tried everything! Less workouts, more workouts , different excercises to try and trick muscles, I have even taken two weeks off this year twice! incase I over trained. And my diet and nutrition is definitely excellent.
It's a mystery! I can only presume I've got some disease or something.If so, what disease can cause this?
Oh I forgot to say, it's the seated shoulder press I got problem with.
Cheers

It could be the AIDS. Or Ebola. Sorry bro.
Just show up. Move some iron. Put in the time. Eat enough food.

When you fail, is it in the triceps heavy top half or the more delt biased lower half?
What's happening with related exercises, like bench?
Why seated rather than strict standing (military), just out of interest..

Maybe you are working shoulders in a high gravity area.

The most serious diseases a man can get are man-flu ... or worst of all he-bola
Thankfully, it's pretty uncommon to catch either of them in a gym, unless you share unsanitized fatgripz.

Yes, 48 yo makes a huge fraction of this forum goers, especially the ones with the number of posts = 1.Originally Posted by partime589
I guess, by default, the site script puts everybody's BD at 1970. To change it, you have to go deep into your account setting and change it there.
It remains a mystery why the webmasters refuse to make it more transparent and easier.

Lower half. I feel doing press standing is cheating slightly because your standing, and when seated you can only use upper body which is my aim.
I don't like bench, I just do shoulder press and bicep curls.
I'm only a part-time lifter, nothing serious

Just had a thought!, Maybe it's more of a stamina issue than muscle, because originally I was doing 3 sets, 3reps each set ( total 9),
and now can only do 1 rep in each set (total 3)
I dunno whats going on

Odd I'd always thought it the other way round, that strict (no leg cheating) was the "harder" of the two as you don't have a seat to hold you upOriginally Posted by partime589
Whether you consider it cheating try strict standing for a bit instead, you never know the change might help (psychological or not) doing it differently could work. Perhaps deload 15% and microload your way back up and hopefully past your current plateau.

How part time is part time?
You might not be working out enough to maintain your strength.
