    I ended up taking a full year off because of my shoulder. It's been good now, knock on wood. I am also trying to do less barbell, more dumbbell for presses.

    Good luck!

    I've been lifting consistently since 1997 and I used to train as a physique competitor. I try to be in the gym at 6 days a week. I don't count my sets, only my reps. If I can hit 12 reps, I add more weight; if I can't hit 8 reps, I lower the weight.

    Currently I drink Syntha-6 before the gym, 20-25 grams BCAA's during and I eat a high carb/protein meal as post.

    I feel ya man. I have a left shoulder issue they can't pin down. Surgeon said he'll cut it open but may not find anything...he believes it's some muscle fiber intertwined that the MRI isn't showing.
    So, rather than having him cut me open for a 50/50 chance of fixing it he did a cortisone shot...and I need another as the pain is back.
    PT didn't help, taking time off of it didn't help (much) etc.
    good luck man!

    @Sean266 I also had two cortisone shots for mine. Neither did a thing. The year off did though. I had no choice, simply couldn't push through it. I hope your second shot does the trick!

    It's just a long process I think. I went through similar challenges with my right knee before they finally agreed to do an MRI after numerous requests. "Oh, I guess we should probably cut the open and relieve some of the inflamed tissue."

    Crutches were supposed to be 2 weeks post surgery...2 days later those were gone. All in all around 8 months of zero to little leg days while it recovered. I'm probably still 90'ish percent healed. It'll never be 100% and my left knee has been on/off with same symptoms.

    I get elbow pain but only when I attempt to do skullcrushers. Every other movement is fine.

    But I do have an old shoulder injury that keeps rearing its ugly head. Makes it hard to do heavy Overhead Presses. Luckily enough, it doesn't affect other lifts.

    I had elbow pain during heavy sets but after I gave some time from working them, the pain went away and I can now lift heavy again. I'm with you guys with the shoulder pain as well, it would hurt the worse during overhead presses. I would put Max Freeze on my shoulders before my sets and it would get me through but I think it actually made it worse ignoring the pain. In Dec I slipped two discs while doing squats from previous injuries and put me out until March. Now after my standing exercises brings pain and definitely no more squats.

    Props to you long distance runners but I have no idea how you do it. I would rather scuba dive through a sewer using Rosie O'donnels queefs as my air supply than run a marathon.
    I used to enjoy it, but doing forced runs while I was the FNG in the Marine Corps made me hate it. Being 6'2" 215 lbs doesn't help either.

    I'm with you with the running, I hate it! I used to run long distance while in the MC as well, 10 miles in 50 minutes is my best but I lost to much muscle no matter how much I ate and lifted, so I gave up on that. Doing that in freezing temps while wearing those stupid green shorts didn't treat my knees well either.

    Yeah dude, all I used to do was run and was injured non stop and I lost all my muscle and gained a pretty big gut.
    Thankfully I had a corporal when I was a lance who understood my body type and took me under his wing and preached to me from the Swolly Bible and I've been hooked ever since.

    Since I've been out of the gym for awhile, what exactly is DUP and DC? What's worked best for me in the past is generally sticking with 3 sets for compound lifts (bench, squat, deadlift) and then alternating rep ranges per week. One week 10-8-6, the next 5-5-5, 3-3-3, then 5-3-1, etc, then mixing in some dumbbell work and core at the end of workouts. Basically the Bigger Faster Stronger program.

    DC is essentially a 2 day upper/lower split where you work out 3 times a week using compound movements for the most part using a very slow tempo coupled with 3 rest pause sets (except the squats and deads). You stick with one set (the 3 rest pause sets are counted as one) and alternate three exercises for each body part through three workouts. (Bench one day incline day two decline day three then back to bench)

    DUP is strictly compound sets (I stick with the big three, 3 times a week plus an extra day for accessory work) (much like bigger stronger faster) except instead of one day 5x5 the next 10-8-6, etc you alternate rep schemes for each exercise. Day one would be (since I'm focusing on strength and hypertrophy and not so much on power) 1- incline bench 5x5 squats 4x7 deadlifts 5x5. Day 2 - squats 5x5 deadlifts 4x6 incline 3x8. Day 3 deadlifts 5x5 incline 4x6 squats 3x8. And then accessory work on day 4 (biceps triceps, shoulders, etc) I do tack on calves and abs at the end of the compound days.

    At 52 I'm 6'2" bouncing around 198lbs and just doing cardio and flexibility. Bicycling, elliptical, and calisthenics. I shed 60 lbs of beer and donuts since last year. I just want to run and play again like I was 12.
    Most of the people I knew that were bodybuilding seemed to loose interest, get fat, and or die from heart failure or strokes in their late 40s. The ones that survived switched to cardio and body sculpting, reducing mass and improving flexibility. All that mass takes a huge toll on the heart.

    I'm on 2 a days 5 days a week. Sometimes I end up getting a third workout in, boxing primarily when I do.

    Sup wise; biohealth iso, amino last bcaa's, creapure creatine, lgd 4033, s4...those are the primes anyways. The standard eat healthy, fish oil, v1 vitamins and blah blah. Quality over quantity though. Only thing I won't skimp on. Was training for a mens physique comp got up to 187 @4.2%.

    Sodium, carb and water cycling the past month was brutal until work took over. Thank god! Couldn't taste a thing the past few days. I'm slowly breaking things down to get more focused into work mode again. Always a fun journey with fitness world. Just got my seated machine/free weight shoulder press up to 405 and tricep pulldowns to 195 for reps too! woohoo!

    I was never athletic, was always the fat kid. 5 years ago I got to 210 lbs size 40 inch waist and got fed up. Decided to commit to doing P90X and Shakeology for 90 days and have never looked back. Went on to lose 50 lbs. I was a little to lean, so now I'm at a more manageable 170 lbs. Been doing P90X, Insanity, etc since then. I do a workout 5-6 times a week, ranging from 20 minutes all the way up to 75 minutes. I haven't been sick one single day since I started - knock on wood.

I try and train 3-4x a week between soccer. I have my L1 for crossfit and US E License for soccer coaching. Each day after work i am doing something fitness related but you couldn't tell by looking at me...haha damn desk job!

    I competed in BB in 2010 and 2011. I have no desire to return to the stage. I still train and diet like i do, but I'm done with the stage. So much time and stress and for what? A $2 trophy I can win? I was an asshole during the final weeks of prep and took it out on the family - never wanting to do anything but train, and work. Can't go out to eat, gotta get the 2 a day in, go tan, etc etc etc. I can't do that to my family a 3rd time.

    I know the feeling. Androgenics have less of that effect but in any essence. You become consumed by giving it your all and it reeks havoc on everyone around you. I don't plan on competing again, just training the same way from now on. This last time was absolutely brutal on me.

    I forgot about this thread... Since this post, I've lost 60 pounds of fat. I'm wearing the size jeans I wore in highschool. The best part is being healthy again. I could stand a little more muscle like I had in my youth. It took me about a year to lose it all.

    I was always over weight and super self conscious of myself in high school, picked on for it in middle school. When i started college i started working out just out of boredom and a stress relief. I got SUPER into it when I was about 19-21. I'm the heaviest ive ever been in my life but I'm also the thinnest I've ever been. I'm 6'2" 255lbs. my max ever has been a 390 bench press, 475 dead, and a shitty 365 squat. yes, i was the one who never did squats, my form was so bad it always hurt and i just couldnt do it. My roommate a while back taught me how but with being so far behind its still behind. my form is perfect, ive been working on flexibility a lot lately, i can touch my closed fist knuckles to the floor while keeping my knees locked. it has helped a lot, Im going to start the smolov squat program real soon to try to catch my legs up with everything. I also had to take a lot of time off working out this summer because of work, school and crap and lost a lot of strength. lately my "maxes" have been 405 deficit deadlift, 315 for three rep bench for 3-5 sets, and 315 squat for 3 reps for one or two sets. I would love to lose another 20-30lbs and get all my strength and more back. ideally i would love a 405 squat, 385 bench, and 500 dead by christmas. My hardest part is figuring out a diet that i can build muscle and lose weight with and still have the energy to lift heavy.

    Thats a 350lbs bench press, butt comes off but who cares, it aint a competition, at least i didnt bounce.

    Right now I wish I had those numbers. Not sure why you're knocking your solid lift numbers.

    that was actually supposed to say a 390 bench. the only thing im proud of is my bench, i bench more than i squat... it might be one of those things like how anorexic people see themselves as fat when they're not. i see myself as weak, i always want more. haha.
