Thanks for the answers guys. I have previously done scans and ultrasound on both my shoulders and nothing specific came up. My issues are mostly pain felt in the front delts. The mobility aspect is something I neglect. Time to research and get cracking.

Maybe go for a new rep range for a while. Try to improve your 10 rep max and get stronger in the 10-12 range. You’ll maybe be stronger in that 5-8 rep range after a while

Hey sas,
It’s a pleasure to follow along.
I have a question regarding injuries. Did your shoulder injury at one point get to where you needed to stay out of the gym or not train upper body? Or any injuries kept you out of the gym? I’m going through an injury that’s forcing me to stay away from upper body for 3/4 weeks and find it hard mentally. How have you dealt with injuries in the past?
Will definitely do your style of training as I ease back in!
Thanks for the inspiration -
Hi Jordan,
Ever had injuries that kept you out of the gym or stopped you from hitting bodyparts for a while? If so, how did you deal with it mentally?
Good luck for the rest of prep, really inspiring -
Thanks guys

I have the exact same problem as you. Left lat doesn’t flare out as much as the right. I have a better mind muscle connection on the right side. I would drop the weight, stick to uni lateral exercises and focus on getting equally perfect contractions on both sides. If doing dual machine rows or t bar rows for example, I focus on pulling with the left side, I find this evens the pulling.

If you’re getting bigger and stronger and enjoy it, stick to it. If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it

And if you want to eat more, I don’t know if you are already but you can maybe add some cardio?
I used to not be able to stick to a diet if my life depended on it. Nothing really changed, I didn’t find a magical way to stop me craving sugary foods, I just got more attached to getting results and living the life style than getting the instant but short lived satisfaction of a sugary food.Good luck and remember this is all a choice, no one is forcing you to diet like this. So it’s not the end of the world if you do cheat, not like you’re an ifbb pro!

250 carbs is not that low, there is room to cut more imo. I think this is just a case of sucking it up and willpower! And I would suggest removing sugary foods in your cheat, they could be acting as a trigger. Cereal too could be a trigger. Maybe you could swap for rice or something, which would be more dense

There isn’t anything magical to this process. Get in a caloric deficit and play around, see how you feel, do you prefer running higher carbs and lower fats? Do you prefer running more fats and less carbs? There isn’t a definitive answer. It’s all relative to your weight, metabolism, activity levels, diet that you feel the best on etc.. As said in the earlier post, drop your carbs because they’re very high and you will notice a difference. Keep being progressive in the way you drop things and see how your body reacts. Me for example I was bulking on lots of food and had to eat a lot to gain weight. When attempting to mini cut, I needed low food. Someone referred this as an adaptative metabolism. You have to figure things out for yourself. There isn’t a magic carb/protein/fat amount that will help you mini cut.
