after playing a little with the barbell I decided to add power cleans to my routine. and I gotta be the next one to say power cleans are awesome and I wish I had started doing them earlier only bad thing is that my gym has no bumper plates that said, now I have to chose between a) buy bumper plates and take them to the gym b) drop my job and move to a bigger city since this one only has 2 gyms and the other one is even worse lol | ||

If your small, screw fat loss, if your fat first lose some of it, you will have some beginner gains in muscle so eat at a deficit. Just state your height and weight, post a picture if you want. And say whats your goal. WIll be much easier to help you reach it then. Protein supplements are exactly for this purpose, not getting enough protein/cals through your normal diet. I dont know my bodyfat %, I am 71 kg at the moment and 181 cm. So I am not at all fat, and I do not want to lose weight. But I want to lose body fat % obviously =p I am going to eat at burgerking today though, fml : ( but found a gym that was only 199kroner a month which seems nice, so i'll sign up to that. Question, is it a lot more beneficial to work out with someone when doing something like starting strength? (apart from the moral support or whatever.) (I mean with something like bench press isnt it good to have someone making sure you don't kill yourself?) or can you be all alone all the time and still do perfectly fine? Edit: and on a final note, To get maximum\close to maxium benefit from working out with weights i need 3 days a week? The rest of the days would it be a good idea to do cardio? Or i guess maybe 3 days cardio 3 days weights 1 day rest? (editedit: just as I posted this i realized this question is probably well answerd in starting strength\the starting strength wiki, and possibly even in the OP! : D) | ||

I don't know, I think when you see someone you can see instantly if his arms are impressive or not. So size does only matter compared to bodysize (note: that does not hold true for one other important body part). | ||

I'm still having a problem with both my right and left shoulders - it started with just the left, but now get the occasional twinge in my right as well, so I assume I've been doing some "compensating" with my right on bench press and other related exercises. ![[image loading]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/546/shouldere.jpg/) Started in my left about a month ago, just a little Twinge when I would bench press heavy. It's slowly gotten worse, which, considering I haven't backed off on it (if anything I'm working harder) isn't surprising. An extremely dull pain is now present any time I attempt to extend the left arm forward, such as right now when I type at a keyboard. If I do so with the elbows "spread" (parallel with the floor if I'm standing) It's much more severe than if I have them "tucked" (proper bench pressing form). The farther the bench pressing motion goes, the worse the pain is. Image above is a very.... general overview of what hurts. The pain is concentrated in the center of the front deltoid, I assume being where the Humerus fits into the shoulder joint. I haven't quite gotten to the anatomy of the shoulder yet in my textbooks - give me a week =p. When I try to complete a pressing motion, the pain is through the entirety of my front delt and upper trapezius muscles. Bench pressing, or a similar unweighted motion is what hurts. It doesn't get significantly worse with added weight. Overhead pressing is fine, rowing is fine, pullups and chinups are fine. Power cleans are fine as long as I manage to actually get under the bar in time. Since this all started when I tried bench pressing 4x/week (wanted to hit BW bench by the end of summer) I was operating on the assumption that it was just a bursitis type thing - I've dealt with that in several other joints (knee, knuckles, elbow) before with rest, advil/alieve, and ice. My shoulder isn't responding to that right now though, and I'm going to have a hell of a time getting through my first "real" rugby practice on monday if I can't figure it out. Any advice you have would be fantastic. I'm not completely resting it right now - benching once a week at most, but doing LOTS of overhead stuff (jerks, push press, high incline bench) which doesn't bother me at all, as well as a lot of rowing (I would say I have 1.5x the volume of "pull" around my shoulder joint that I do "push".) | ||

While I can get all the protein and Cal I need from regular food, most protein requires preparation and in order to meet that time frame I use a supplement powder. Just figured id put that little bit o' info out there. Broscience, I do believe. If you workout fasted, there's an advantage to taking a pre-workout drink, usually something based around bcaas for the quick absorption. If you don't workout fasted (for example I like to way three hours before workout) then you are still digesting food, and there are plenty of amino acids in your bloodstream. Just make sure that you do eventually eat something before you go to bed, because i'm sure a pre workout meal doesn't have ALL your calories. | ||

Can you give me some more information in the spoiler below? Also, your picture didn't work. Don't answer questions you already answered unless you can elaborate more on them in which case go for it. + Show Spoiler + 1. Google a pic and mark where it hurts. 2. What exercises hurt? Which shoulder articulations hurt? http://www.exrx.net/Articulations/Shoulder.html 3. What type of pain is it? Burning? Ache? Tingling? Sharp? 4. What would you rate the pain at on a 0/10 scale? 0 being no pain, 10 being go to the emergency room. 5. Acute or chronic (chronic more than ~4 weeks)? What date was onset? How has the pain improved since the initial injury? 6. Have you been training through pain? If so, how long? 7. How deep is the pain? Is it more superficial tissues? Or does it seem to be more inside or around the joint? Describe it. 8. What have you been doing for recovery purposes? 9. What seems to help? What seems to make it worse? Is it constant? Does it increase/decrease with certain activities? 10. Check the tissue quality of the surrounding muscles. Which ones are tight? Which ones are tender? Is there any swelling? 11. How does it feel after exercise (if any)? How does it feel at the beginning of the day? How about the end of the day? 12. Any previous injury history? 13. How's your posture? 14. What is your current workout routine for that bodypart? Do you play any sports? 15. Any other information I should be aware of or that comes to mind that may help? Initial impressions -- | ||
