also the location.. there's a donut shop next to them. sonic and a sushi place in the vicinity.
Injured my shoulder blade yesterday. No idea how.
Was fine when I went to bed, fucked when I got up. Have mostly continued training but it's painful to breathe.
I'll always be susceptible to injury; hyper-mobility is a bitch. I'm a fucking beast when it comes to cardio fitness though.
This is a good post
Ehhhhhh...
First, what is bigorexia? How does one "save" someone from it? What is the meal and diet plan for it?
Damn, dude. So sorry to hear thisThis injury is one of the most painful I've had for a while. Slept like shit last night (forced me to sleep on my back, which I've never been any good at).
No idea what weights I'm going to be able to do, if any. I get the feeling that short of calf raises, my shoulder blade / upper back will be involved in pretty much all of them. Wasn't even able to do the turbo trainer without pain. Wouldn't be so concerned, but I've already had more than a week off the weights because of the cycling events.
Might have to put my cut on hold to reduce the muscle loss.
This. I'm not directing this at Psycho or anyone (hope you recover soon buddy!), but if you're injured, just rest it off. Do cardio at the most if you feel you need to be in the gym.
Oh I know. I was being an ass about it.

by "bigorexia in amateur bodybuilding," I was referencing the the perma-bulking phenomenon. It's where guys put on massive amounts of weight. (mostly bodyfat) but tell themselves it's all muscle.
But you replied to someone making assumptions/conclusions without any specific information whatsoever. No one likes putting on fat. When you tell someone that they will put on fat when bulking, people tend to freak out. They think they're going to became obese in months even when upping their calorie intake at a very modest amount (the OP said 500 calories, which is actually a rather appropriate increase when testing the waters for bulking).
Try up the weight by 10 each week or something like that.
Ohhhhhhhhh. If you can post a video of you doing squats later in the future that would be awesome and allow some of the other members to help yah out.
Gaining too much fat is a legit concern. Throwing out bigorexia because someone questions some inevitable fat gain during a bulk (even during noob gains) is the wrong way to approach the situation and absolutely the wrong advice to give without specific knowledge of the situation.
Yup, I wasted two years trying to lose fat and put on muscle. Wish someone had said what you said to me back then. I'd have been much better off just eating at some sort of maintenance level and hoping for a bit of body recomp rather than trying to do it all at a deficit.
you should be drinking water throughout the day regardless. water helps you from dehydration and other stuff. its not like we're drinking the gallon in one sitting ;P
It wasn't that he was concerned about putting on too much bodyfat. Like you said it is a legit concern. The comments I made about that were kind of off tangent, and a distraction from my actual point.
Knowledge is power. Happy gaining!
