L33SH

Dan if you get myfitnesspal, I'm L31SH on there. I went to iifym.com and used their calculators to work out my daily calorie/carb/protein/fat requirement. I then changed the goal settings for these nutrient details on myfitness pal to correspond with my iifym information. I do not record everything I eat as I now have a pretty good grasp of how to reach my specific nutrient goals each day. Before I did this there was no way I was consuming 135g of protein or 250g carbs daily and now I do not find this difficult to do (even thought I dont eat meat). My suggestion is to utilise the calculators on iifym, then change your settings in myfitnesspal. Once you use myfitnesspal for a few months it becomes easier to work your daily calorie goals and you may not need to use it anymore.

Epiphanies are great aren't they? Good on you Dan

thanks for your help

When I went to the physio I had difficulty rotating to my left side (injured side), and I still do now. I don't know what extension of the thorasic spine is so I can't comment on that. I rolled a tennis ball over the sore spot just then but it did not cause me any pain. Hopefully Birds can look at adding balancing movements to the workout as he has written the program I'm currently doing. Like I said, I did my workout last night with no pain except for tricep pushdown.

Nah it's more than that. I've had strains plenty of times.

I can try another physio I guess. I just want to know what muscle is injured!

Yes I realise this but I would like to know what the injury is. I cant afford $75 to see a physio again for nothing. Last night tricep pushdown really hurt but that was all.

I'm getting there, in a lot of pain today though. This injury is annoying me. The physio said it was a facet joint in vertebrae however I believe it's muscular lat or tricep. The pain is now localised to one area. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks Troy and Dan

fair enough

Hi Dan Well done on the weight increases with the squat, bench, row and especially deadlift; an increase of 5kg, wicked How are your injuries going? I had acupuncture on Friday, was interesting. In a lot less pain today.

Nina is annoying as fuck. Patrick is amazing.

I cried when Patrick died thank you very much.

Yes I agree with not looking at the scales when you're trying to build muscle only. I am proud of myself in this respect. I used to weigh myself multiple times a day. Since weight training I've slowly decreased this habit; I'm now looking at the scales around twice a week (which I hope I can stop doing soon)PTC went alright, got some good tips and have now purchased a foam roller! However, still not confident in deadlift technique so not sure what else to do.

I disagree if you're trying to lose weight, scales have their place.

Sounds interesting, hope you recover soon

Nah it's pretty new

Sorry to hear you were involved in an accident, what happened? Hope you get better soon. I've injured the shoulder I sleep on; can not sleep on the other side it's just not right for me!

good work except all odd numbers!

I loved pain and gain thought it was an awesome movie

I could do it if I really wanted to but what scares me is not dying and being paralysed or something

I'm sure the forum will know about it when he does.

Good to hear, I feel like driving the skyline into a tree at high speed, could actually do it in this weather too.

I didn't take any last night as I thought I should try and have a night without anything as my sleeping has been much better, didn't get to sleep until 3.30 and up at 6.30...
