I would work legs, back, core, cardio, exercises that completely immobilized that bad shoulder. Honestly you’ll have to get creative. The key to a long healthy life is in that gym, you just gotta be smart with your training.

Haven’t really gone anywhere strength wise but I’ve been leaning out the past 5 weeks I’m down to 251 from 268. Monday flat bench is still 315 for 5 and 365 for a max. Incline was 225 for 10 for 3 sets then 275 for 5 for two sets. 1rm incline is unknown out of fear of hurting my shoulder. Decline 315 x 10 and 385 went up fine.
After being sick for a couple weeks my bench is struggling:rofl: it’ll come back, I hope
If it’s the same thing going around here and it sounds the same it lasts 3-4 weeks. Somdays are better then others but it seems to linger forever.
F*ck I hope not... I’m currently dealing with a runny nose and just feeling weak from missing a week of the gym.

Definitely, I haven't changed the way I eat really other than throwing in rice cakes during the day. I haven't hit a new pr yet since a few weeks ago but reps are getting easier at the same weight I've been doing. I've gained a few pounds yet my arms are getting more vascular. Hardest I've hit arms in a while. I was scared to do this low 3 rep heavy workouts, but honestly I've made big gains from what I can tell and I do half if not less than half of the volume I used to do. Plus if i go every day were hitting bench 3 times a week and deads and squats once a week.
Good stuff Jessey:thumb: just shows that everyone responds a little differently to reps and sets. Sounds like your putting muscle on for sure and burning fat, weight will always head up when adding muscle.
Hit legs pretty hard yesterday and did a Cyclebar class today... last class I burnt 651 calories today 850 and came in 12th. I was worried because my little wheels were already sore but we survived. Oh my fat ass went 15.71 miles in 50 minutes, i am roasted now lol.
We will see next max day, can't wait. Should have 365 bench, max squat was 405 so hoping for more. Deads should be back over 500 again.
Well nice suprise today, bumped our reps up to 325 for the 5x3s on flat bench got those done. Banged out 365 for a single pretty easy just needed a good day. Then my partner hit 365 which he did the other day. We threw on some 5s and he failed at 375 for the second time but... it's everything I had but put up 375 even after normal sets. That's a new pr for me so I'm pretty damn stoked. Weighed in at 258.8 did crazy arms after that, super solid day I didn't want to leave, if i dont hit a wall 405 will be attainable easy by the end of the year.:happy2:
Congrats on the new PR I just keep getting lighter I’m down to 248.0 so I’m not sure where I’ll end up strength wise while I’m dieting. I know 365 last week was little heavier then it’s been the previous weeks. I’ll see how heavy it feels tomorrow.
I guess it depends on the type of diet what your strength is gonna do. I know 365 last week felt like 450, this week it was like 315. I've had more weight in me for a while just lack of motivation. Mind over matter, hope it goes up easy for u.:thumb:
Page one of this thread in 2014 i was 224 pounds, 3 years and 34 pounds up I've hit every goal I had back then since lol. Took long enough jeez
It's the journey not the destination my friends:thumb:

Diet is in a nutritionist hands this year and so far I’m staying about the same strength wise and down 20 pounds. I definitely haven’t increased strength but I didn’t expect to for now just maintain. I’m just happy to not be as weak as usual when trying to get unfat.
I always found it easier to find a shirt that fits good and keep it on lmao, screw a diet :spit:
