Yeah, I was just a bit surprised to be gaining muscle so quickly. When you say it doesn't last long, are you saying that I'm more likely to gain or lose weight? I had a goal to drop some weight, and still have 10-15 pounds to lose, but I suppose gaining muscle will make it harder to drop weight.
How much do you do on DB fly's, relative to DB Bench press? I had some shoulder issues over the past year, so haven't jumped into any fly's yet.
This is where I have been living for the past 4 months. Scale not moving much at all, but seeing better waist.
It’s kind of all over the place. I was doing 15 lbs for 15 reps today and it felt easy on the flyes. DB bench was 35 lbs for 12 reps and also felt easy. I’d up the flyes by 5 lbs but the bench is going to go up more proportionality so I wouldn’t read into it. Just do what feels comfortable and then push from there. If it hurts than back down until it doesn’t hurt. DB flyes are harder on your shoulder than a flye machine would be due to your position lying down vs sitting down.
I may start trying to bring in some DB fly's, as long as there's absolutely no pain. Probably 10 pounds, which is definitely light, but not worth risking further injury. On second thought, I think I'll wait a couple weeks and keep getting my shoulders, chest, and back stronger before even trying to add fly's.
What is it?
Nice work. I've been staying on the workouts and improving quite a bit there, but need to tighten up on the eating. I was out of town on a vacation last week and put the weight back on that I had worked to lose the previous week. Oh well, I'm in it for the long haul.
Focus on cardio for next few weeks.
Torn labrum
Dang man, that sucks. Do you have to get that surgically fixed, or just wait to let it heal?
So the thought is that I actually tore the labrum years back. I remember the specific event and my shoulder has been messed up for years.
That sucks. Sorry to hear that. What's the recovery time from a surgery like that?
Not sure. Gonna toss it out on the forum
Dang man sorry.
To some degree I’m relieved because I’ve wanted to get this fixed for a long time and finally have to. Gonna suck for a few months, but as long as I heal up should be totally worth it
Is that a free app, or a paid one? I use the fitbit app to track food sometimes, but haven't been as strict lately. I'm still working out but weight has stagnated a bit. Was around 217 this morning, which isn't bad, but not where I want to be yet.
It’s free. Although the seem to have gotten where they really want to jam the premium option down your throat
I eat what I want, when I want...I do push-ups, and smoke heaters...fortunately I have a high metabolism, and at a gigantic 5'9" I weight a whopping 165lbs, I am extremely intimidating...to no one
Definitely a 'dicky-do' on that one.
Haha, nice. As I've gotten older, my metabolism is slowing down, plus since I work in an office, I'm sitting down most of the day. So if I don't want to be a fat, I need to monitor it better. Plus, with the health issues I had this year, I just want to take better care of the things that I can control.
Seeing the surgeon in a couple hours about my shoulder
Hope it all goes well. I'm sure it will suck in the short term, but hopefully be much better long term
