been a while, that pain in the arm came back, so I laid off for a bit... I lifted and did chest/bis today. The pain was there, but really slight. Did some research, reading on here, etc... it is a muscle thing... honestly, it feels like the knots I have in my shoulders from stress are making it happen, the knots in the right side are huge... gotta get rid of those... summer is almost here.. so they will disappear when the kids do I hope.
I think I just need to eat clean, work hard.. and will get what I need. I can be patient to get what I want. I did not gain anything in the lay off from lifting, and honestly, with work, i pretty well laid off everything that was not work... just tried to eat right, and maintained where I was.
Lifting today was good, benched 215, not bad for taking a couple months off... gonna do HIIT cardio to help with fat loss.
It seems everyone, or several, say to eat like a g or 1.5 g of protein per lb of body weight... some say my lean body mass, which is it? If it is my body weight, that is a lot of protein, I weigh 285ish...
Determined to stay on track, if the pain starts to worsen, gonna see the doc right away to figure it out. My wife is going to try to work out those knots for me, she can dig her elbow in my shoulder and really get to them... maybe that will help.
good to be back,
