Don't confuse fiber and glycemic impact carbs... You need veggies as much as possible, but real carbs only at breakfast, pre and post-workout.

damn...i dont know what is going on, but something is just not right. The past few weeks ive had what seems to be a slight "pressure" onmy sternum that occasionally pops. Well, I was doing Bench today and it started to hurt pretty bad, then went away as sudden as it came. It did this after every set, but while doing tricep extension, it started to hurt really bad. Im not sure what it is, but I will hopefully find out when I go get my physical on Friday. If the doctor doesnt know, then im going to try and see a chiropractor. The pain is not in the Xiphoid precess, but what feels like the Manubrium/body of sternum.

went to the doc and was told that i have chondritis.. Something like a small tissue strain between the ribs..she said i was putting to much stress on it. Im going to narrow my grip and see if that helps any, it may also be from the weighted dips

Take a week or two off of chest and let that rest. Don't do anything that extends your rib cage/sternum (overhead type stretch movements). You can't train if you're crippled, so a step back may be worth 5 steps forward.

Dude, you can bench 440... I guarantee it. If not, add 5lbs to your dead and squat and then go for 430... Come out here and I'll assist you to get there and we'll go over 1500.

Edit: Sorry for commenting here - I didn't even think about it being in this thread. Thought it was his journal. Plz move it there!!!

Hey you're young, you'll bounce back just fine! Now you channel all that energy you were spending on your gf getting up into the heavy weight category, and on the football awesomeness.
