Your on the scale to much that is what is going on. I fell into the same thing. I have been putting on mass and leaning up some. I finally just said screw it. As long as my clothes fit loose and I don't have to wear larger sizes in the pants everything is ok.

Yah that's it in a nutshell, usually makes sense once a week at the exact same time in the exact same situation.

Ive weighed myself everyday for almost a year now, this is an odd weight gain for me, so then today is my normal record weight day on mfp, im apprently up 9 pounds in 2 weeks then of recording? Thats odd.

Looking ar all the goodies you have been taking it is possible of some actual muscle gain and some fat. I doubt it is all fat. Maybe also retaining some water weight for some reason. Who knows. The real question is how do you feel? Are you clothes still fitting looser where you want them?

Well diet is ehhh. It happens on days I go in for my Stelara shot. Funny enough some reason after the shot I always crave a burger. I don't know if it's because the shot makes me feel like crap and I need the grease or what. Arm still feels like it's burning tonight, will hopefully hit the gym tomorrow if the burn goes bye bye tomorrow.

well I am a tad mad. I jacked up my back today while training. Appears to be a sprain? Not 100% sure yet though. As I was starting my work set on the Wide grip rows my back popped forward and i went to the ground. I am flipping sore as can be and hard to move. So i may be laying low for a week or two until I heal up. So not happy about it.

That's an unusual exercise to get that on, you wouldn't see it coming..

Tell me about it. Had the weight on hand did a few reps. Then my lower back just buckled. Wondering if it was from doing the push press prior as I don't normally do that exercise

That's probably it, very straining on the back if you lean back too far...
 
Back injuries suck. I'm pretty much prone to them, and I'm in and out of the chiropractor throughout the year because of it. Also the reason i can't do deads anymore.

Take care of that back Jeff!
 
Tonight's session KICKED MY ASS!
Day 3, wk3 (85%)
5:05-6:15 (Started with light cardio and deep calf stretches)

Planks 5 reps with 35 second hold, 30 second rest.

Fed from 12-8. Dietary: 2616 cals (193 carbs, 230 protein [plus 40 g bcaa], 106 fats) estimated burn 4150.
 
Rolled out on 10g bcaa and 2 scoops of jack3d for some fasted cardio. 32 minutes, 231 cals. Gonna have to put lifting off till tomorrow as my youngest has his first Little League game tonight. The season is much more demanding than pee wee league so I may have to switch to a 3 day 5x5 routine such as Strong Lifts.


Gentleman, our agreed upon deadline is fast approaching. When we get there, please post before and after stats and calculate the change.
 
thats good but with my schedule and being on the go and coaching baseball and three boys playing baseball, a girl in softball and soccer and a boy who is doing summer hockey, its the only i can get my prot counts in there and cals

Can anybody explain to me the diffrent types of proteins

Whey is fast absorption so great post w/o, casein is slower absorb so good for last feed before a fast. Avoid soy protein as a primary protein source. I prefer blends which offer the best of both worlds.
 
Nearly 2 5# tubs/month.

How's thye healing up going Jeff?

Its going brother thanks for asking. Sore as can be but in the next few days we should see if it gets better if not I will go and see and getting x rays to see if it might be a slipped disk.
