fufu said:The pain isn't too bad, but enough for me to do something about. It doesn't bother me while lifitng, only after.
CowPimp said:You are having classic shoulder impingment issues fufu. The location of the pain sounds exactly like the location of your acromion process. Check out this response I gave to KelJu when he asked of ways to help this issue:

Solid workout! I was feeling out of it but I was very intent on having a strong smooth workout. For my last set of front squats I banged out the reps quicker than my other sets and I went further down and bumped the safety bar once or twice, so I was happy with that. Haven't done that high of reps for deads in a long time too, but they went fine. My back was feeling a bit stiff though, it was from all the sitting at the computer of my time off I believe.
Today's workout was a bit nauseating however. My acid reflux from last night left my stomach feel edgey. I kept burping and tasting fish oil as well. Yuck. Through the upset stomach and tireness I managed to have a great workout, it was just what I needed. I was lacking a some confidence as of yesterday but now after this workout I feel better again. Tired, but better.

CowPimp said:Badass workout. You've got some powerful wheels there.
fufu said:Thank you, I'm liking these Bulgarian squats I saw you and func doing. Definitely a good addition to my workout.
CowPimp said:Yeah, it's an awesome movement. Killer on the lactic acid burn if you ever do them for higher reps.
fufu said:Weight was 177 lbs this morning, perfect. I'm shooting weigh between 178-180 pounds for I head to back to college in about 5 weeks.
I'm very sore today. Glutes, traps, quads, calfs, and lower back. Feels great.
I just ate a massive pile of oats and whey. I accidently mixed the whey in first before the pb, which results in a sandy chunky texture. It's friggin heavy in the stomach.
I was getting a little sick of dieting over my week off, but it has to be done. Dieting is so much easier when I get the good workouts back into place. This last month of dieting has to be spot on. Once I get to college I will lose alot of control and ease that I have now. I'll manage, but I want to eat as well as I can before I get back to college.

Seanp156 said:How many/what classes will you be taking?
fUnc17 said:thats a pretty easy schedule, and you start pretty late in the day. my first class starts @ 8am, i love starting early.
how many credits is that total?
Seanp156 said:My schedule's rediculous in a good way... 15 credit hours and I only have to go to class two days a week... One of my 5 credit classes (nutrition) is online, so I don't have to go anywhere. I just have 2 classes on mondays and wednesday. I might throw in another class though... Some 1-3 credit hour class I need.
