I’d been plateaued for years as well. Don’t know why today was the day, but I’m damned happy it was. I was smiling like a loon when the weight went up. I think the lady next to me was concerned. It helps that I’m still pretty heavy. Don’t know if that shoulder press will stick around once I...

I'm fucking hyped man! Decided to one rep my shoulder press today, and I finally hit 225! I've been stuck at 205 for the longest damned time, so I'm ecstatic to finally hit that goal! Now if only my bench press was progressing that well...

All muscle can be useful from a metabolic standpoint. The more muscle built means you burn more calories at rest. So from a weight management standpoint, it just makes sense to build muscle where you can. Also, while many don’t regard aesthetics as useful, it can be useful for the purposes of...

I'm trying to do this in such a way that I don't lose to much muscle, that's why I didn't fully commit to Keto. Might be pipe dream, but want to retain as much of my hard built gains, strength and muscle, while I lose fat. All in all, I've honestly been pleasantly surprised by the minor strength...

Update on overall state of my health. I've finally dropped below 300lbs and am making steady pace towards 290lbs. I'm hoping to be in the 280s by the end of the month and hopefully in the 250s by the end of the year. I've kept up my cardio, sticking to an hour or hour-and-a-half of that. The...

Jeff has a lot of good programs to pick from, though most of them I’d call powerbuilding instead of pure bodybuilding style hypertrophy. That can be a good middle ground for transitioning from a pure strength program though, and he does have a complete hypertrophy program. Though he seems to...

Kinobody, as previously stated, has perfectly good beginner hypertrophy programs. It’s not in an app, but it is on his own website which makes his programs pretty easy to keep track of. His programs are a bit on the pricier side as well. Jeff Nippard has a lot of programs to pick from as well...

So it’s an exercise usually performed with a dumbbell or kettlebell, and is a great full body exercise. Helping to train mobility, stability, and overall flexibility and strength in odd positions. It’s a pretty difficult move, so I’d recommend starting without weight if you’re at all interested in it.

God I hate those things. It doesn’t help that, with how my balance is right now, I’m unstable as hell. Have you ever tried to do Turkish get-ups?

Kinobody was actually the program I first started out with. Now, it’s been years since I did them, but from what I remember they’re pretty decent programs. His exercise selection is largely on point. However, he seems to follow four days off three days on programming from what I remember...

So, first day of the new program and it is deadlift day. Some things of note: - Pull-ups were a lot more humbling than I thought they’d be. I had to load the assisted machine up pretty heavy to get to the 12 rep range I’m aiming for. I actually find this rather exciting, as I’ll be trying to...

I try to stick around 2400 to 2600 calories a day. A good portion of that is clean protein and I try to limit the carbs as much as I can without effecting my training. At 6’2 319lbs, this should be enough of a cut to see some amount of weight loss. Obviously, I have some cheat days. Mostly...

So I recently decided, since I 'm not really losing weight at the rate I want, to change up my training programming. Before, I've mainly been focused on powerlifting style training, with some accessory work thrown in for volume. I guess you could call it powerbuilding, since it took mostly from...

Made a meme. I decided to one rep max test a little early cause I was feelin good about it this week. Throws off the periodization a little bit, but it should be fine. The testing went good. Up to 445lbs on squat, 370 on bench, and 500 on deadlift. Still need to test overhead press. Will...

440lb back squat achieved, though I felt like my head was about to explode from the blood pressure. I now have a headache. Loved every second of it. Now, with the numbers from my one rep testing, I can start my next micro-cycle. Week 1 and 2: Bench: 3x8 at 295lbs. Squat: 3x8 at 320lbs...

One rep tested on my bench yesterday. It was a real grinder of a rep, but I managed to hit 365lb. Need to recalibrate my program based on this and reset my rep schemes, hoping to hit around the 375/385 mark by the time I’m done with the new micro-cycle(4 week program). Celebratory meme: Going...

Well, at least you’re still keeping it up. Maybe invest in a light resistance band and try out some therapy exercises. I dunno, I’m not a doctor, but I wouldn’t think some light stretching of the shoulder girdle and delts would hurt anything. That’s what I did when I pulled my pec, alongside...

Sorry to hear that dude. Is your shoulder feeling better now or still giving you issues?
