You are not the only one, I feel like that some days. It seems like a common problem lately, I have a friend who is out of action because of a similar shoulder problem :(

Luckily for me since I started to do some simple stretching and movements to get my shoulder healthy, On Monday (31st) I got to do some real OHP :D and Bench, Nothing much just the empty bar and then onto some small weights # Bar +10 /15Kg.

The damage to my shoulder was in the beginning of October when trying for 5x5 70or80Kg can't remember now, But for the last 3-4 weeks I've been pain free until I lifted on Monday :( It's nothing much but I am still aware of a niggle in my right shoulder that my doctor seems to think doesn't exist.

Anyway, I am just going to stick to very low weight and keep up the stretches for a while until I am confident I can progress, Because it seems thats all I can do. and I would rather be doing something that nothing because it drives me mad, Although I must admit my shoulder is a lot better that It was in October ;)
 
Thanks for your replies. I think I'll start deadlifting more often now so my body adapts to the stress. Last time I did any deadlifting was over a month ago!

Whilst bulking you should really try and avoid eating snakes. Although their protein content is very good, the ingestion of venom tends to hinder any gains. Grass snakes/pythons and other non venomous species could be eaten, but obviously these are going to be more pricey.




Sorry, had to be done:D

Depends on your definition of rubbish i suppose... :p

More protein at breakfast! Damn this country and it's cereal for breakfast ways! Eggs, makerel or whatever really.

Lunch, while fairly typical, isn't good either. I'm guessing you might be getting 2 eggs, which is 15g of protein at best :'(

Dinner is fine, perhaps just have much bigger portions.

Generally speaking if you're only going to have 3 meals a day you shouldn't be having less than 40g of protein per meal. That would be a good start, but that still only puts you at 120g. If you combine this with a more calories in general and maybe a couple of high protein snacks throughout the day you should be putting on weight. Do try to get more than 40g of protein if you can though, which might be 200g of chicken for example.

Sad times. Take it easy and don't rush recovery.

Bargain! Wish I had a bigger freezer, so I could stock up like that. I would love a big chest freezer so I could fill it up with big cuts of meat. My mum and dad used to buy a whole lamb (pre butchered) directly from a farm and it worked out so much cheaper than getting it from a supermarket, and a lot nicer as well.
 
Considering I have trained in about 4 weeks properly, I'm still keeping my weight. Lost a bit mass, but still holding good definition. This project at work is killing me though I just don't have the hours in the day at the moment. I'll get back into it - these things happen!
 
Hey, I was doing a 3 day split but I want to change to doing 2 days and 1 being upper body and the other being lower body, do you think that works?

My reason for doing this is that all lower-body has to be squeezed in the week somewhere between a lot of running and football that I do AND I want to make more progress on my upper-body as I still have a pretty small/skinny appearance and struggle to get up through weights. I also get really tired doing upper-body stuff like if I start on DB bench-press I wont be able to do chins or dips later in my session or the reverse.

Could someone help me with upper-body routine?
