Tr3sting the Limits

same thing applies tho... it would literally take years and years to truly regress to the point where your body wont rebound at a high rate. And even in that case, youo would've been off so long that you would essentially be seeing new lifter gains anyways.

shoulders injuries suck. they ruin everything.

Time for epic legs an lots of situps ha. Belly shirts (long sleeves of course, and short shorts for you ;)

Back injury is the worst though. You can't even sit or lying down without it bothering you. Forget lifting. That's why I was out for 2 years after my accident. I still don't do dead lifts or squats and only recently added certain other lifts back in. Deeds and squats are the only lifts i won't do yet... I'll add them back in another month or two once I feel longer my core is strong again. Probably I could do it all right now but you remain cautious and do alternatives for a while.

Definitely true. Back injuries can screw you up for life. Shoulders are a pain, but not crippling in terms of daily life. Backs can be tho for sure.

My whole family (except me, even my younger sis) has prescriptions for medications due to back issues so I'm always super cautious when I feel anything even slightly off or odd. No chance I'm giving up activity for the rest of my life to lift one more rep on a random weekday

It's a Good call. My girls sister has two slipped disks, way down. Never took care of it and she works loading trucks for FedEx, now there's a rupture, sciatica nerve issues, and surgery in the future. She's toast at 42 and on mad pain meds. I managed to get her off of it and onto some kratom in lieu but she needs the real deal sometimes. And kratom is expensive.

I've been doing a lot of reading about core strengthening. Just doing the plank for a while everyday, or leg raise lying back. If I'm workout like you said if I feel anything I go home and take an actual hot bath.

Another thing that I do that helps my back (and posture - which mine is bad due to traveling for a living and constantly being in cars or planes) are vacuums. I sit in the sauna after may workout I can and hold them as long as I can. Sitting, standing, lying, all make my lower back feel so much better on long trips.
 
Good work man. Glad to see you back in the gym making use of that cycle...:)

FireTitan I don't know if you started the HST yet but get after it!

So far I've crushed the supposed 1rm from the beginning of this. I would've done BW+25 on Dips today but I couldn't find the damn dip belt at the gym. Someone probably stole it. Guess I need to buy my own lol.

Judging by your pics, you got a bit more defined, it's a pity that you had your knee trouble interrupting the cycle.
 
You still have some more time on cycle, though. So that is good. I don't know where the hell mine came from. By the middle of the day it was 195....haha probably by the end of the week I hope it says 191, 192....lol
 
BTW get into my RPG log. I tagged you :(

I wish you had trestesses for me to motorboat
 
Guys my diet is slacking lately. Not dirty or anything, just haven't been eating enough. Back down to 188. Time to force myself to eat.

Don't feel bad. I am down to 193. I am pretty sure that 197 was inexplicable water retention. Start eating again!

Dude you have no idea how nice it would be to "have" to eat.

Having to starve all day to maintain even average weight is so much worse.
 
These are all valid points from both ends. I dropped yet another pound to 192 and I take in over 3600 cals a day. But I think in general it's allowing me to put on steady weight. This time a month, month and a half ago I was 187, 186 by mid-week
