If something works do it
Nice log update dude.........
The meals sounds good
Diet looks good man. Nice to see all the different options you have to swap in. Keeps things interesting.
Keep the meals consistent for good results...........
Haha funny you say consistencies.
Sunday was Easter so lots of carbs and sugar at family event. Did not meal prep on Sunday like normal. Monday and Tuesday works got out of control so I didn’t eat full amounts of food. Then dad went In hospital Tuesday eve.
Life got in the way. Woke up today (wed) at 197 lbs. hopefully I can meal prep tonight.
Todays lunch will be simple. Cream of wheat (made with less water so a rice consistency)
And couple tuna creation packages.
Breakfast will be fine 2 whole eggs, 4 egg whites,turkey sausage, little cheese and salsa. Banana for a snack.

Looking forward to this
I hope you get well soon and make a strong comeback. 
Get recovered man. Best of wishes
Recap
Old knee surgery in 1984 so knee is just old and legs not strong cause knee always hurts.
Hoping knee feels better so I can start doing more leg stuff. Running- I have runners legs, but walkers knees!
Shoulder alway a dominate part when I lift.
End of last year it really got bad and did MRI.
Found Bursitis, arthritis, split tendon and bulge in rotator cuff with possible tear.
I have been pushing as hard as my body would allow. Pain and age has definitely limited some success. We are trying this PRP and hoping it works. If not shoulder surgery is in the future. It could take more than one round of PRP. We shall see.
I am still going to gym so I don’t loose my motivation. Just not lifting for another week.
It’s driving me nuts. Last night I did left arm curls. Since that arm is smaller figured couldn’t hurt.

I've had PRP in both my neck and back with great success. Needed one round each time. Hope you heal well. Injuries really suck. You just gotta do what you can do and keep plugging away. Keep us informed on how your doing. Good luck!!
bro hit it harder

Stevesmi and I talked about this
Yea man, the shoulder is involved in so many different movements.
Worst thing to have to deal with
@Slyderkt can you post up what you're doing on cardio?
also how about you do some lower body, think light legs etc we'd love to see you back on the horse
Got back at it for the last week. I did first leg day in a long time. Pushed moderate weight.
Did leg extensions, smith machine squats, hammy curls, hack squat machine and leg press machine up to five plates each side.
That went well and knee did not hurt as bad during or next day.
Shoulder taking it a little more easy. I thing it will be harder to heal.
Still did 5 days upper body. Shoulder day was my lightest. Shoulder still has a long way to go. But at least I am back in the gym.

One day at a time
glad to hear you are back at it
Good log.....keep us updated..........
Oh man that’s a horribly embarrassing question to ask me. My chest is my weakest part.
Taken several year just to get what little chest I have. Honest answer is off cycle I incline dumbells about 70 for 8-10 reps.
Flat bench I don’t do cause it tears up my shoulder. Max there has only been about 165
On cycle those numbers go up.
I have found I get better mind muscle connection at lower weight higher reps. Lots of cable work.
My shoulders try to take over too much. I am still learning to do chest properly. It’s hard for me.
Worst part is since shoulder injury I can’t even do push ups. It’s a mess.
I’m am working through it.
@Slyderkt dont worry about small weight thats a start you have to go slow
i tore my right shoulder a decade ago. after trying my best to work through it and an MRI and physical therapy later i asked my PT point blank 'will i ever be able to lift heavy again'. he looked at me and said 'no'
learn that you won't be able to lift heavy. you can lift heavy for lower body, but upper body avoid inclines and militaries and don't go heavy. you don't need to lift heavy to gain muscle or strength anyway.
bro too much fapping. same thing happen to cousin. he hurt shoulder. poor kid was austistic
It's just comparitive
Actually I’m not bad at incline or overhead press. Even military is good.
Side felt and rear delt are good moves.
Flat bench or front raise is a pain monster.
Bicep triceps all good. But if I am on slight incline, then curl. If elbow drops back a little it is a no go!!
I have never been able to lift heavy.’
I tell guys at work.
You can out lift me for one rep maxes.
But come to the gym and do two hours of super sets with me.
Several have tried m, but only one has ever returned.
Hahaha old man strength for the win!!!

Flat bench kills my shoulder also
@Slyderkt heavy not always good especially with injuries
go long and go high volume what volume you doing?
also how is the diet going so far?
Just stress the muscle
Diet is good.
Nothing special to report. Just eating the same boring old menu. That’s what works for me.
Since I am off cycle and out of bulking mode. I just backed off volume of food. Have not tracked in a few weeks since it is eat and repeat. Probably about 2500 calories.
40 protein
40 carbs
20 fat
I have dropped back to my static weight.
Currently waking up about 190. Gonna take off a few more lbs and get abs back showing.
@Slyderkt I remember you meal prepped you still prepping meals? what you eating?
APPROVED LOG
You've gone back to your static weight - so no gains?
bro slyder yo look good
How are you feeling overall bro?
Did you gain much from the cycle?
Yes lock diet in tight bro need abs summer about here
good log updates.........
Keep sharing bicep
every since my shoulder injury years back I get shoulder pain as well.
Shoulder issues are tough man.
Ya I don’t get it. I seem to get bigger and fuller on cycle.
But some of the fullness is not wanted. After cycles or if I cut I go back to where I was. It’s like this is where my body wants to be.
I am sure I have some muscle memory and it will come back.
I do realize that once you come off a cycle you need to continue lifting heavy and hard. Of course I think that is part of it this time. I came off and have been in a modified lifting state with injuries. Also keep in mind I am older and my cycles are not strong or over the top. Staying healthy is important at this age. I can’t be reckless like a young person. I am hitting it pretty good again. Diet is good but low so I’m trying to get my abs uncovered again. I still meal prep but just not eating as much as on cycle.
@Slyderkt You hitting it hard, whats the training like? lets see some of your updates big man
@Slyderkt updates for us more?
