    Totally fine

    Ultimately it comes down the the individuals recoverability. But that’s not an amount that I believe would have any impact to training performance or recovery.

    We can handle a whole lot more than people think lol

    Identify the issue with a physio and get regular work done

    Do regular stretching and mobility work

    Do unilateral movements

    Always treat training intent the same regardless of season and don’t expect anything
    Just take things as it comes and address accordingly!
    Leverages will eventually change thus some movements may stall, but always keep progression as the goal even when it isn’t happening

    When I trained chest regularly this would happen to me as well
    If it happened 3 weeks in a row I would just change the movement to another press variation

    Getting regular tissue/massage work done

    Proper execution within training

    The position you sleep makes a big difference

    Looking up mobility work and pre hab / warm up work on YouTube

    Well it would depend on if you need to create a larger deficit, and if/when you do then you can add direct cardio or if steps alone are working for you then increase those. But I personally like direct cardio for fat loss

    From your pic it doesn’t look like body fat is very high. In my opinion I’d just continue eating and training hard

    I agree with Jordan. And don’t worry about being skinny man! Just keep your intent within training the same, continue working hard and progressing and trust the process!

    You have some room to pull down, especially with fats and cardio. Go ahead and enter into a dieting phase, keep your intent within training the same and you will continue making progress!

    No they’re not a must. If a machine is bigger bang for your buck movement – ie you are more stable, connect well, and can progress it better then just go with that
    If you enjoy incorporating dumbbells and execution is on point and you can progress with them, then sure use them.

    Possibly just a strain but you won’t know for sure until seeing the specialist and getting imaging. Just be patient and completely rest it until then!
