I am dealing with a torn rotator cuff at the moment so I have switched from 6 to 8 reps heavier sets to 25 or so rep lighter sets, still to failure. Noticing far more intense Doms on the lighter sets so I recon my muscles are benefiting from the switch.
Full tear or partial tear
Partial tear apparently. I'm not convinced. I've not had any actual scans or anything I just get mild to severe pain in my upper arm when attempting incline to overhead flies or presses at certain angles. Physio therapist got me to do a bunch of stretches and exercises and came to the conclusion based on that. Said it was partial because full tears can result in not being able to lift your arms over your head at all.
I have a partial tear in both rotator cuffs and a pinch nerve somewhere in one side. What's your describing sound similar to me. Doctor told me not to do surgery until its A must and that was like 2 yeaes ago And my shoulders have gotten stronger and better sense. But I'd be lying if I said from time to time they're not brutal. I benched 370 in comp pain free and other times 225 hurts. It's all over the place lol.
The only way I make my water intake is to look like a total meat head w the gallon jug. I use the gallon to make my shake and my pre workout. It keeps me honest.
I'm the same way, Usually at night before bed, I'll put about two inches of water in a one gallon jug and stick it in the freezer. In the morning I add some eaas, a half cup of a probiotic juice and a hydration stick And then fill it up with ice and water and carry it with me all day. I used to be really good about finishing it by four or five o'clock in the afternoon And then having another 64 ounces or so of fluids before the days over.
If you mix the water with things, it doesn’t count. Thought everyone knew that…..
. Joking
Lol. It's so hard for me to finish a gallon of water with no flavor unless it's the middle of summer. Every once in a while. I'll force myself to do it though to take a break from the artificial sweeteners. Instead I'll squeeze some fresh fruit juice into it Just so it's something.If you mix the water with things, it doesn’t count. Thought everyone knew that…..
I cannot do skim milk. I have probably a bit of autism lol and I can’t deal with certain textures of things. When the texture and flavor don’t align, I can’t. Protein bars are another thing I can’t do at all.
Lol, Most protein bars suck you're not missing out on much. I grabbed the box that was on clearance the other day, They had a really good profile and the flavor sounded great And it came out to 1 dollar per bar. The actual flavors not bad at all. But they're about the consistency of a concrete block. I got a soaked in a coffee just to take a bite of it lol
I’m on the road all day so in the summer it’s easier as I am sweating it out. Winter sucks when you are on side of road and wearing bibbed carhartts and ya gotta piss
Kinda got legs in lol. Im working on it. Left knee It's a bit irritated today. And I couldn't make it to the regular gym So I used a planet fitness today

Had some issues again with my hamstrings Cramping up but not nearly as bad as last time
Mine are as well, The reason i'm doing it this way as I wanna see if I can catch one up to the other. Plus I use them as basically just warm up exercises. I'm not taking them anywhere near failure. I'm probably leaving 10+ reps in the tank
My weakness is oreos and poptarts, @Hyde always cracks when i say cheat meal, but his jokes are actually right on the money. When i screw up, it usually involves An entire box of pop tarts poured into a giant bowl of milk crumbled up and eaten like cereal.
Good to know. My cholesterol should be sooooooo low after the 2 rows of Oreos I just ate
Lol
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich with Oreos layered in is what I’m hearing?
Yep. I have a "little" brother. He kinda stopped giving a **** a few years back and balooned up to 280. Lost some of it but Hes super hard headed and wont take any advice either so hes been spinnin his wheels around 240lbs for the past year and gives up often. He dosent really care tho. In the summer he covers his big ass in Coconut tating oil and sits out in the yeard all day lolSame here. I have a fat boy appetite and have to restrict myself a lot
I bet, ive never had a tiktok, IG or anything like that tho. I haven't been on my facebook page in 9 years or so and i just try to avoid social media. I've been saying for a while. I need to get back on facebook to help myself advertise things but tiktok and IG I don't want any part of. I do enjoy the occasional tik tok or instagram videos people send me though lol. Espically the ones about ppl saying The identify as a purple vulture and have 876 pronouns
Hey man, just read through your posts on this thread because I plan on running recomp 20 potentially after a cycle. But first I have to say, are you sure it was a purple vulture? The fluorescent orange ones get very upset about this and often will sue you, some even launch Facebook campaigns to cancel you! Also, keep up to date on the pronouns, my last count was a bit higher, I believe we are nearing 1000. God, what an incredible species we are, almost as cool as that snake in Africa that turns into a male, impregnates it’s female self and gives birth, the only difference is the last part of what I said is true.
I just feel good i guess, the feeling "on" thing i cant say because i dont feel much if any different on cycle vs off other then training harder and watching numbers in the log book go up faster. I will say i pushed myself harder then normal at some times on R20 and it was a bit more then i could handle, but i do extreme stuff training sometimes thats counterproductive as is. So take it with a grain of salt. I felt like this product was good at doing what its name suggests, improving bodycomp and it also has positive effects on feeling good. At least i think so.
Sounds good. I've just started running this and I'm almost a week in and seems to have an upset stomach daily. Don't know if it's coincidence. Didn't happen on day one and two.
