Ever since I started my new job I’ve gotten horrible with going to the gym and training. I trained almost every single day 4 hours a day. Lately now I can’t find the energy to even think about going to train.
On a serious note, got back into the gym pretty hard again for some time now, start of the year I was ~225, just weighed myself at the gym today and am 201.4. Id like to cut to 190 or so, then build back up to 205 or so. Really gotta start doing cardio, been all lifting as of now :lol
Im at 215 now and would like to get down to 195. Im pretty good at maintaining my current weight and have been lifting more on quite a few machines/free weights.
Ive got some issue with my right shoulder that seems to be preventing me from benching more weight though. For some reason it gets really sore when benching but not while actually working on shoulders.
I havent really done much with dumbells but I do the fly machine on chest day. I can max out the machine at the gym (305 I believe).
On shoulder day I generally go heavy without an issue. I shoulder press a set of 4 of 185 on the machine and shoulder shrug 365 using a bar and weights.
my shoulder hurts during dumbell shoulder presses, but anything else im fine. mgiht be your form is off, or youve got a cuff/ or isolator muscle issue, something is strained when doing that particular workout.
I usually do 155, 175, 195. I didnt think going any lighter would benefit anything.
Ive done over 200 before with a spotter but dont want to chance it with the shoulder issue lately.
Yeah, I dont know if its from work doing repetitive motions or an injury Im unaware of. I do carry packs of linen on my shoulders alot in the shop and on deliveries but Ive been doing that for 6 years now so I dont see why it would just start to bother me.
Could be that my form is a little off too because Im not always 100% steady and even with a bar.
